  • The Temple at the top of Khao Takiab offers amazing views plus a large temple area including a good steep climb to the top. Feed the monkeys and visit the many Shrines. Here at Khao Takiab you will find both male and female monks. A very rewarding place to visit.

    Things To Do: Hua Hin Beaches
  • Tip Rating:
  • Do be sure to visit the other beaches in the area around Hua Hin. South of Hua Hin are Hua Don Beach, Suan Son Beach. You can then go further along the coast to the beaches around Pranburi including Dolphin Bay and the deserted beaches along the coast of the Sam Roi Yot National Park. The main beach in Hua Hin stretches from near the Sofitel all the way to South beach at Khao Takiab past the Hyatt Regency and Wora Bura.
    One of the best benefits of Hua Hin beach hotels is that they are truly right on the beach, no beach road to cross, so you have direct beach access from your Hua Hin hotel or resort.

  • It is always nice to see plenty of photos of the hotels, resorts and the areas surrounding, we know that photos can so often tell us so much more than words, you can look through plenty of Hua hin hotel photos and find hundreds of photos of Hua hin that includes photos of the town and beaches and often those atractions close to the places you may choose to stay

  • Online weather forecast for the Hua Hin area. The climate of hua hin is very good, during the months of July, August and september when it can be raining in many beach area, the Gulf of Thailand area ( which includes Hua Hin, Cha Am, Pranburi, Koh tao, Koh Phangan, Koh Samui, Pattaya, Jomtien etc ) has quite good weather. Hua hin has about the direst / least amount of rain of any beach area in Thailand in July, August and September.

  • Nice and relaxing Hua Hin beach just 7 km / 4 miles south of the center of Hua Hin on the Gulf of Thailand Coast, from Hua Hin go past the Marriott and Hyatt Regency resorts, beyond Khao Takiab Temple and View point, this beach is around the headland in Takiab Bay and you would miss it if you didn't know about it. In addition to nice beach with clear water there are Elephant Rides, Jet Ski, boats to offshore island, long beac, nice restaurants. Also in the area Off Road all terrain buggy riding, cycling, lots of temples, very nice area. Although Hua hin town is very pleasant many find it more built up than expected and perhaps do not venture away from the center, but Khao Takiab is just 10 minutes from the center of Hua Hin and provides so much more for those seeking a relaxing beach and well priced accommodation, Weekend and vacation houses are many together with a couple of hotels, the Anantasila Resort, Bluewave Hotel, Takiab resort, Seahorse, the new Napalai Hua Hin and other hotels, boutique guesthouses and also budget bungalows and cabins.

    Things To Do: Pranburi
  • Tip Rating:
  • Hua Hin - Privacy Resort Hotel Pranburi

  • Pranbutri starts about 20 minutes south of Hua Hin, but the Pranburi beach areas range from 30 to 40 minutes from Hua Hin, just beyond Pranburi is Dolphin Bay close to the Sam Roi Yot National Park.
    Most of the Pranburi Hotels and resorts and also those in Dolphin Bay and the area close to the Sam Roi Yot National Park are listed as Hua Hin. This I pressume is that pranburi is not yet recognized as a destination in it's own right, however it is becoming more popular as a quiet and relaxing beach area beyond Hua Hin. As part of the Sunrise Coast Pranburi has inexpensive beach places to stay right up to top boutique resorts and the luxury Evason Resort and Evason Hideaway Resort and other Pranburi hotels and accommodation.
    Close to the national park plus the long coastline this is very much a rest and relaxation area.
    The beach is honestly not great, but, the beach areas are quiet and very long, it you are after peace and quiet but within say 30 to 40 minutes of the center of Hua hin these accommodation might be of interest.
    Also easy access to the national park, farmlands and rural areas. Snorkeling at Bang Saphan / Koh Talu about 2 hours south.

  • The national park has birdwatching, wetlands, mangrove swamps, temples, caves and beaches. It is only 40 minutes from town so well worth a visit, it really is a 'must see' whehn visiting Hua hin so you can get out of town and see the natural beauty of the area.

    Amazing birdwatching, a very popular place for birdwatching in Thailand
