Hua Hin was once a very active little fishing port until King RAMA VII chose to build his summer palace amidst the swaying palms fringing powdery white sands. Over the years Thai aristocracy followed suit and made this town their private haven from the hustle and bustle of city living.

City Beach Resort, just a short walk from the beach, the country's oldest and most prestigious golf course and the town's delightful, old train station which becomes the center for a lively night bazaar.
