What to see in Hua Hin - attractions and excursions

Hua Hin is a beautiful city, and besides the sea there are many places to go and see, from the Royal Palace and the train station to natural attractions in the surrounding area..
I personally liked the city very much, and it is not boring at all, as many believe. Perhaps because, I'm already a little old and all sorts of different parties and discos with ladyboys are not at all interesting to me.

Some impressions from Hua Hin

After staying here for about 1-2 weeks, I had a strong desire to live here once, moreover, to live here, to rent a house and stay here for a couple of months, and maybe more. Yes, of course, the island nature of Hua Hinu is very far away, but as a good place for work and occasional rest on the sea, it is quite suitable. Considering that I'm completely unassuming to the sea, and there are a couple of good beaches here. I also liked the opportunity to walk along the city beach instead of the embankment. In general, I dislike sand due to the fact that it clogs into my shoes and sticks to my feet, but here the strip of the coast is notoriously trampled and wide, besides, and you can go far, right up to Khao Takiab itself..

Hua Hin is a kind of European resort. There are a lot of old people here with secrets under the arm, including in wheelchairs, there are enough bars with red lights, from where Thai girls are passionately calling out, but thank God not as passionately as in Pattaya. There is no debauchery, everything is decorous and noble, ladyboys, too, did not meet something especially. In general, I even liked the city itself, somehow it is good and cozy in it. It is not very big, but it has everything you need: shops, shopping centers, a hospital, car and bike rental. And it is especially pleasing that you can go to live on the outskirts or in the suburbs, where it will be very quiet in general, but at the same time there will be an opportunity to quickly get to the city center or go to Bangkok by minibus. Hua Hin is considered the safest city, perhaps it is, really very calm. By the way, I rented a car and a bike, did not stop it, everything went the way, although I had my rights with me.

If you want to come to Hua Hin for a short time and are looking for accommodation, we have articles about budget guesthouse and Hua Hin budget hotel. Search more hotels in Hua Hin you can follow this link, or you can come to the place and immediately go to the area where all the guesthouses are concentrated, which is next to the sea and the pier.

If you live here slowly, then there will be enough interesting things for the weekend of the next couple of months. And if you expand the radius, then for six months, here in the neighboring provinces, too, is full of everything.
