Hua Hin Honeymoon, ThailandHua Hin is Thailand's oldest beach resort – first developed in 1922 as a getaway for Bangkok's elite (including the royal family) – and offers a 5km-long stretch of golden sand backed by numerous seafood restaurants and plentiful accommodation to suit all budgets. As one of Thailand's few mainland beach destinations, Hua Hin is ideal for those who wish to relax on a beach without having to take another plane trip. It is also a peaceful and discerning alternative to the riotous, red-light arena of Pattaya. Following royal tradition, Hua Hin is also a favourite destination of the King of Thailand, who onced lived here for much of the year; the presence of Royal Thai navy and police security teams make this one of the safest places in Thailand for foreigners and locals alike. Things to do and seeHua Hin offers a wide range of beachside activities such as horseback riding, kite surfing, windsurfing, catamaran sailing and jet skiing. You can also enjoy sightseeing at stunning temples, play a round of golf and go hiking and elephant trekking. Relax on the white-sand beach, enjoy a seafood snack at a beachside food stall, admire coastal vistas from the promontory of Khao Takiab, wander the old squid-piers of Hua Hin and explore nearby Kaeng Krachan National Park on foot or by elephant. Tee-off from the famous 72-par 18-hole Royal Hua Hin Golf Course (established in 1924) or be pampered at one of Hua Hin’s world famous spas: try the incomparable Chiva-Som on Petchkasem Road or be pampered at the luxury Evason Resort and Spa, located opposite Paknampran Beach about 30 minutes drive south of Hua Hin.
