Hua Hin
Hua Hin is a beach town on the Gulf of Thailand, about 200 km south-west of Bangkok, or 3–4 hours by road or rail. It has been a seaside escape for Bangkok families for about 100 years, and it is calmer and more relaxed than Pattaya. A long sandy beach runs about 5 km south from the town centre to Khao Takiab, a hill with a viewpoint and monkeys. In the evening, people eat seafood on wooden piers and walk through night markets such as Cicada and Tamarind. Golf courses, water parks and national parks with caves, waterfalls and wild elephants are within about an hour. The sea is usually calm, and the Gulf coast is often drier than Phuket in the middle of the year. Weekends and Thai holidays are busy; weekdays are quiet and cheaper.
