Hue Hin Resort:Top 10 Beach Activities at Hua Hin

By Hector Carmine


Imagine lying on warm sand under a blue sky, pine and palm trees rustling behind your head and waves coming gently to the shore beyond your toes. You are at your Hua Hin beach resort, taking a much-deserved holiday. This is bliss, you think after an hour in the sun. But by hour four, the sand is itchy, the sun is blazing, and your iPod is running out of power. What to do? Retreat to your beach resort and recover? Or try something a little more exciting?

Accommodation in the area can fit any budget range. From the simplest guest house to the most luxurious Hua Hin beach resort, there is something for everyone here. Recently, boutique-style resorts have become very popular with both Thai and international tourists. This kind of beach resort generally has many of the amenities of the bigger international chains as well as local design details and charm in an intimate setting. For example, the Anantara Hua Hin Resort & Spa is modelled after a traditional Thai village, while still containing a luxurious spa and two infinity-edge pools. Even though the beach area is so close to Bangkok, in places like Anantara, it is easy to feel that you have left the city behind you.

The small rock formations that rise from the sea offer the visitors beautiful vistas and a rich coral reef, with rich and colorful marine life has been a source of wonder. Kite-boarding is also very popular, thanks to the shallow and calm sea and consistent winds of low-intensity. The Kite festival is also very famous and attracts thousands of tourists for the event held every year.

Once at the Hua Hin beach of your choice, what should you do? Fortunately, Hua Hin does not disappoint when it comes to recreation and attractions. While sunning yourself on the sand is always an appealing option, there are plenty of other activities for those who want to be more adventurous or active. Horse or elephant rides are perennially popular diversions and can be found at almost every beach. Of course, water sports are also crowd-pleasers - learn to wind-surf or kite-board one afternoon or explore the coastline from a sea kayak. If you prefer to remain on terra firma, the area abounds in world-class golf courses at which your beach resort can arrange for you to play, for nine or 18 holes.

Eating local seafood: Playing around in the sun all day can make you quite hungry! Sample some of the local delicacies, often for sale just a few steps from your beach blanket - grilled fish and squid freshly caught, icy pineapple slices, coconut ice cream, and much more. Whether in the nicest restaurant or lowliest street stall vendor, the food at Hua Hin rarely disappoints. Enjoy your exciting thing at Hue Hin Resort.
