Hua-Hin Grand Hotel & Plaza Located on the Western shore of the Gulf of Siam, Hua-Hin is a approximately 2 and a half hours by road from Bangkok or 25 minutes by Air.
For over sixty years Thai Nobility, high society and the smart fashionable set have been coming to Hua-Hin to escape from the heat and the bustle of the city.
Combining the rich traditions of Thailand's original beach resort town with the ambience of a rural fishing port, Hua-Hin offers the opportunity to experience a part of Thailand that retains a distinctive and natural Charm.
Welcome to Hua Hin, Thailand's Royal Beach Resort!
Hua Hin welcomes you to an unforgettable holiday experience.
The 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 Thai holiday destinations cater mainly to foreign tourists, Hua Hin is a holiday resort for foreigners and Thais.
Besides it's great 5 mile long beach Hua Hin provides the highest density of world class golf courses anywhere in Thailand while it's yet virtually undiscovered as an international Golf destination. Green-fees and other costs are currently among the lowest in the world while course maintenance and services are superb.
While the beaches of Phuket and Samui were discovered only recently and have since undergone rapid and sometimes destructive development, Hua Hin has already been the favourite Thai resort for over 70 years.
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.
The construction of a railway line from Bangkok ensured its accessibility and popularity with a wider part of the the Thai public.
But it was the resort's royal endorsement which has given Hua Hin a special character of its very own.
In 1928, King Rama VII built his Klai Kangwon (Far From Worries) Palace which remains until this today an official royal residence. It is still frequently used by members of the royal family and is open to the public for visits.
Hua Hin continued to develop in its own leisurely way, both as a aristocratic resort with the added attraction of an 18-hole golf course, and as a fishing port. The Railway Hotel, today's Sofitel Central Hua Hin, was built by the State Railways of Thailand in 1923 in the architectural style of old Siam.
Many of Bangkok's rich and famous built their own beachfront summer homes to the north and south along the curving sandy bay, enjoying leisurely family weekends in a resort which has maintained its unique identity.
Today's visitor to Hua Hin will still sense this special atmosphere and old world charm.
Besides sun-filled days on the mile-long beach there are leisure activities for the whole family from watersports to golf. The area around the town let's you discover fabulous parks and peaks, caves and waterfalls.
In the evening the winding roads with a great variety of shops make a great stroll. And the restaurants built on stilts into the sea offer superb seafood in the legendary and unsurpassed preparation of the Thai cuisine.
Hua Hin has all the ingredients for a very special holiday experience.
Excursions and Tours from Hua Hin
The entrance to this park, whose name translates to "300 mountain peaks", is about 50 km south of Hua Hin.
The landscape features savanna-like plains and steep limestone cliffs at the seashore. Some of the plains have recently been misused to dig ponds for destructive shrimp farming. But the park still provides a rich experience of nature with good animal watching as it is home to several rare species. Near the coast or from a boat you may be lucky to spot an Irrawady Dolphin passing by.
Several caves in the park are worth a visit.
Kaeng Krachan is Thailand's largest national park covering about 3000 sq km, almost half of Petburi Province. The park gets some of the heaviest monsoon rainfall in all of Thailand which makes the rainforest particularly abundant in places. There are also savanna-like grasslands, mountains, steep cliffs, caves, waterfalls, and two rivers which are suitable for rafting.
Animals living in the park include wild elephants, deer, tigers, bears, and gibbons.
The park is ideal for hiking and camping. A resort offers "floatel" accommodation at the La-U Reservoir.
An excursion to Pa La-U waterfall is a must for every visitor to Hua Hin and Cha-am. It's about 68 km from Hua Hin by road, while the last stretch of the journey is a dirt-road requiring some driving skill. Many local tour operators offer trips to the waterfall which can get quite crowded on weekends.
Depending on the season swarms of butterflies can be seen in the area.

The town of Cha-Am, in Petchburi Province, is steeped in history. It was here that one of Ayutthaya’s greatest king stopped over with his troops, dismounting to admired the view and clean their riding saddles - hence the resort’s name derived from the Thai word cha-an, “the saddle”.
Later on, it was the building of the railway line down to the Malaysian border during the early years of this century which turned Cha-Am and its neighbour, Hua Hin, from tiny fishing communities into a royal resort. That immense sweep of beach on the western side of the Gulf of Thailand proved irresistible to Thailand’s arristocracy, and beautiful beach-side houses began to appear along the coastline. In 1926, King Prachatipok set the Royal seal of approval by himself building a summer palace on the beach, which he named “Klai Kangwon” , or “Far From Worries”. And ever since, although luxury hotels and condominiums have taken the palace of aristocratic beach houses, Cha-Am and Hua Hin have retained an air of style of elegance, located on the sunrise side of the Gulf of Thailand, Cha-Am and Hua Hin are well established beach destinations, with full facility. But unlike Pattaya on the opposite side of the Gulf these two resorts provides a quieter more relaxed retreat amid surroundings which present a typical Thai ambience.
Both are well suited for families or for those who wish simply to escape city bustle.
Today, Cha-Am is home to a magnificent holiday retreat. Nestled in the serene surroundings of 40 acres, The Regent Cha-Am Beach Resort is ideally located two hour’s drive from Bangkok. It proveds 700 rooms and suites in Three unique styles, each superbly appointed and complemented by attentive services and modern facilities. |

This is what makes Cha-Am such a perfect weekend destination, and also the ideal place for meetings and seminars : no time is wasted, the surroundings are idyllic ; and the facilities of international standard.
Located right on Cha-Am’s gorgeous, sweeping beach and surrounded by 40 acres of its own tropical gardens, the Regent Cha-Am Beach Resort is a famous local landmark.
