HUA HIN
Established
as a Royal Resort 100 years ago, Hua Hin has become one of the most popular
resorts on the Gulf of Thailand. With its wide range of luxury hotels,
execllent restaurants, and championship golf courses, and its clear blue
water, Hua Hin has developed a reputation for luxury and a sense of timelessness.

One
of the first railway lines in Thailand was constructed from Bangkok to Hua
Hin, and the classic Railway Hotel, now owned by the Sofitel chain, is still
the most luxurious in the town. Just north of Hua Hin in neighbouring Cha-Am,
the Marukathayavan Palace was the summer retreat of King Rama VI, complete
with an open-air theatre where the playwright King staged his own productions.
