Hua Hin - The Royal Retreat

 After you've experienced the vibrancy of Thailand's atmospheric capital city, why not relax at one of the country's oldest and most traditional beach resorts, Hua Hin.  Sometimes called the royal resort, it is less than a three hour drive from Bangkok on the Gulf of Thailand.

Hua Hin became popular in the 1920s after the construction of the railway line from Bangkok, as a rainy season retreat.  King Rama VII built the Klai Kangwon Palace (meaning 'far from worries') just north of Hua Hin.  The tranquil fishing village then became a royal resort and as a result became popular among the Thai nobility and upper class.  Today, the palace is still used by members of the Royal Family and is open to the public for visits. 

The town was home to the first golf course in Thailand and now has the highest density of  world class golf courses anywhere in the country. 

Hua Hin is a friendly fishing village and its beautiful beach stretches as far as the eye can see.  Its streets have an array of tailors and people practising reflexology and there are markets selling souvenirs.  Hua Hin's many harbour restaurants overlook the brightly lit boats and serve delicious Thai, Western and Italian cuisine and exquisite fresh seafood.

The deluxe 5* Sofitel Central Hua Hin Resort is surrounded by 13 hectares of landscaped gardens and is right on the beach.  This lovingly preserved colonial style resort is the epitome of luxury, attention to detail is of paramount importance ensuring that every guest has wonderful memories of their stay.
