| In addition to hotels and resorts in Ko Chang,
Thailand has other beach resorts in the Gulf of Thailand, such as Hua
Hin and Cha Am.
On this page, we recommend Hua Hin, which
as been developed as Thailand’s original beach resort shortly after
WW I at the same time of the construction of the Southern Railway and
the new summer palace of King Prajadhipok (King Rama VII) called
“Klai Kangwon Palace”. At that time Hua Hin was the favorite place
for holiday among the Royal family and the elites. The first hotel,
Railway Hotel was then constructed in order to welcome the King and
his entourage. Soon afterwards, bungalows were built along the beach,
bringing Hua Hin to its great popularity as a resort town during those
times. Even today, despite changes, Hua Hin is still a wonderful
choice for a shortly relaxing and quiet stay near Bangkok, alternative
to Pattaya which is more crowded.
Hua Hin is one of seven districts of Prachuab Khiri Khan Province,
located about 92 kilometers north of Prachuab Khiri Khan downtown and
approximately 200 kilometers south of Bangkok. Hua Hin sprawls on the
total area of approximately 911 square kilometers.
Hua Hin possesses a tropical climate with high humidity. There are
three seasons: hot season (March to May); rainy season (June-October), and
cool season (November-February).
