📍 Destination Overview
Hua Hin, on Thailand's Gulf coast, is a classic beach resort, made modern when Rama VII built a villa last century. Famed for golden beaches, the royal palace, a photogenic old station and markets like Cicada, plus quiet Khao Takiab and Khao Sam Roi Yot nearby, it is Bangkok's weekend escape.
