Hua Hin and Cha-am’s name and fame as a quality beach destination merges with the fact that this retreat for relaxation seekers has long been favoured by the past and current members of the Royal Thai family.
A good 3 hours’ drive south from Bangkok, the sandy shores flow gently over into a verdant green landscape, characterized by gently-rolling hills and slices of the country’s deeply-rooted connection with Buddhism. Blending all elements together and culture, nature and religion form the backbone of a tailored escape, away from the beaches and into the other side of this invigorating region.

Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Chopsticks Hill (Khao Takiab), Hua Hin Thailand
The tour commences with a leisurely drive to the southernmost part of Hua Hin’s main beach and the elevated natural site of Khao Takiab. Also known as Monkey Mountain, this hill is a natural barrier between Hua Hin and the more southern Takiab Beach.
As its nickname implies, a colony of monkeys occupy part of the slopes who roam both the viewing point and the temple grounds. Panoramic views over the Hua Hin beaches complement this first stop.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Train Station Library, HX83+WXP, Hua Hin, Hua Hin District, Prachuap Khiri Khan 77110, Thailand
Hua Hin’s railway station is said to be one of the most photographed landmarks in the region; its colonial Thai style architecture certainly will see you taking a few pics.
