Hua Hin is a district in
Prachuap
Khiri Khan Province located 295 kilometers south of
Bangkok and 90
kilometers from
the provincial capital. It boasts a large market, and is full of food
and souvenir shops as well as hotels.
Beaches are located in the east of the province, and the main pier is on
Highway No.4 at km.232.
The beach at Hua Hin is 5 kilometers long, and full of white sand and
clear water, ideal for swimming.
While Cha-am is a district in
Phetchaburi, Cha-am Beach is beautiful as neighboring Hua Hin Beach.
Located approximately 163 kilometers from
Bangkok, 40
kilometers south of Phetchaburi and 20 north of Hua Hin.
And Pranburi located some 30
kilometers south of Hua Hin. There are several beach resorts in peaceful
atmosphere.
Located on the sunrise side of the Gulf of Thailand, Cha-am and Hua
Hin are quiet relaxed coastal towns, perfect for family vacations. In
contrast to
Pattaya, across the Gulf, these sister resorts lack the bustle of an
international playground and instead afford a quiet escape.
Both
resorts boast long uncluttered beaches, while Hua Hin, larger than
Cha-am, has the added
attraction of a
traditional fishing port. Neither place attempts to imitate the
international scene and are content with an enduring Thai identity. Hua
Hin, incidentally, is Thailand’s oldest beach resort, enjoying a vogue
among Thai royalty and aristocracy since the 1920s.
The main joys of both resorts are a peaceful time lazing on the beach
soaking up the tropical sunshine, the fun of a variety of water sports
and a delight in relishing some excellent seafood dining. |
