Hua Hin Property
 |
This
small Gulf town would have little to distinguish it from any
other fishing village in Prachuap Khiri Khan province had King
Rama VI not built his summer palace here in 1926. Its royal
legacy and the town's proximity to Bangkok have made it an enduring
beach destination, mostly free from frenetic development, pollution
and the other negative aspects of Patong and Pattaya. |
Hua Hin's five kilometers of beaches are its biggest draw, though
the often murky water and jellyfish (numerous during monsoons) deter
swimmers. Weekends can get overcrowded, compounded by vendors hawking
everything from pony rides to corn on the cob around the Thanon
Damnoen Kasem beach. So strike south to the beach fronting the Sofitel
and beyond to the relatively tranquil sands of Had Khao Takiap and
Khao Tao. The new Hua Hin Butterfly Garden opposite is a delight.
The quaint half-timbered railway station provides a great photo
opportunity.
Khao Takiab, a hill overlooking Takiab beach four kilometres
outside Hua Hin, offers sweeping views from an unexceptional
temple. Far better is Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park, 58 km
to the south. Named `300 peaks', the park features broken-tooth
karsts soaring out of wetlands ideal for sea-kayaking and
has a diverse bird population. More arduous exploration awaits
at the World Heritage rain forest of Kaeng Krachan National
Park to the north-west.
