This oldest and most traditional Thai resort combines the attractions of a modern holiday destination with the charm and fascination of a still active fishing port.
And while most other Thailand holiday destinations cater mainly to foreign tourists, Hua Hin is a holiday resort for both foreigners and Thais.
The resort was discovered in the early 1920s by King Rama VII as an ideal getaway from the sultry metropolis of Bangkok. The tranquil fishing village was turned into the Royal resort and consequently became popular among Siam’s nobility and upper-class.

In 1928, King Rama VII built Klai Kangwon (Far From Worries) Palace which remains to this day an official royal residence. It is still frequently used by members of the royal family and is open to the public for visits.
