Located on the sunrise side of the Gulf of Thailand. Hua Hin lies some 200 kilometres or a three-hour drive southwest of Bangkok. Adding distinction to Hua Hin’s coastal setting, is its status as Thailand's most traditional beach resort.
It was here, in the 1920s, that King Rama VII built a summer palace, thus creating a vogue among high society for Hua Hin to become the favourite retreat from Bangkok's summer heat. Today, the present Royal Family continues to reside at Hua Hin for part of the year.
Hua Hin is similarly noted for its magnificent beach, running from a rocky headland, which separates it from a tiny fishing port, and curving gently for some three kilometres to its southern point where Buddhist temples cling to the cliffs.

Culture in Hua Hin
Hua Hin offers a host of events throughout the year and there is always something to see or participate in. Hua Hin, in addition to the many annual festivals, also offers a wide range of cultural events such as the annual Jazz Festival which, for the past few years, has been held at Hua Hin beach. Here, internationally renowned jazz artists perform, and up to 150,000 people shows up on the beach as the audience.
Hua Hin is also host to events such as the annual Royal Regatta, with hundreds of sailboats taking part, along with many other water sports competitions here among kitesurfing. Hua Hin is preferred by large parts of Thailand as the seat of the events due to its location and popularity among visitors. It is never boring in Hua Hin.
