Hua Hin
A coastline three hours from Bangkok: a calm town, golf and a long beach.
coast
by road
What is good
- Drivable from Bangkok — no flights, no ferries
- A real town all year round, not a seasonal resort
- Hospitals, schools and golf courses close by
- Prices are noticeably lower than on the islands
What to be ready for
This is the gulf: the water is calmer and murkier than on the Andaman coast. Anyone coming for the turquoise postcard will be disappointed.
Who it suits
Long stays, people who value town life, and anyone who travels to Bangkok often.
Season
Best from November to March. Rain is short and rare even in summer.
Getting there
Three hours by road from Bangkok; the local airport is barely used.
No property here yet. That does not change what the place is like.
