Hua Hin, Cha-am & Pranburi (II)
Hua Hin -- Rock Head to go
Once a sleepy fishing village, Hua Hin started to become better known in the 1920s when it was linked to Bangkok by rail. It developed into a popular retreat for the Royal family and, nowadays, the King himself resides at the summer palace there. (Due to its proximity to Bangkok and popularity with the Monarchy, many wealthier Bangkok Thais now have condominiums along this stretch of coast.)
Hua Hin literally means "rock head," but don't let the name fool you! - a few smooth boulders are scattered along the beach but the seabed itself is all sand safe for swimming. The town is developed but still compact making it easy to walk around, and it has retained its casual beachside feel. You'll find all major amenities including accommodation to suit every budget, from cheapies in town to big name resort operations on the beach.
