KNOWING HUA HIN

Thailand’s first beach resort originally attracted the leisure class from Bangkok in the early 20th century. Its popularity among foreign visitors has been more incipient, but vacationers are drawn to the beach town for its amiable, wholesome atmosphere. With its salubrious feel, Hua Hin adds another dimension to Thailand’s wonderful and varied collection of international beach resorts. Unfortunately, ill-conceived 1990s development has sucked some of the charm out of the town.

The resort has long enjoyed the favor of Thai royalty, which has contributed to its status and growth as a premier resort among Thais. The country’s King Bhumibol used to stay at Hua Hin, returning to Bangkok only for special events. Partially as a mark of respect to the resident king, Hua Hin has avoided the gaudy excesses of other beach resorts. Although the number of tourists—mainly from Europe—has increased markedly over the past few years, Hua Hin remains quiet and relaxing on the whole.

In 1910, Rama VI’s brother, Price Chulachakrabongse, visited Hua Hin on a hunting trip. The prince was so delighted with the success of his trip and the location that he built Klai Kangwon (“far from worries”), a palace at the northern end of town on Naret-damri Road, one street back from the waterfront. It is still used by the royal family.
Rama VI followed him in the early 1920s. Also enamored with the surroundings, he ordered the construction of a beachfront summer palace in 1924. Marek Khantayawan Palace, the “palace of love and hope,” was the king’s idyllic royal retreat. The renovated palace is a harmonious collection of buildings, constructed of teak and marble, and linked by elevated corridors that lead to Salas on the beach, all rendered in elegant Thai-Victorian architecture. The center of the palace provided the living quarters of the royal family. Further opulence is found in the throne room and theater. The palace, 9 miles (15 km) north of Hua Hin, is well worth a visit.

King Bhumibol maintains a palace in Hua Hin and occasionally visits to sail his dinghies, adding a century-old continuity to the resort’s relationship with royalty.
Prompted by visiting royalty, a railway from Bangkok was completed in 1922. Two stations were built within a hundred yards—one for commoners and one for royalty. The smaller Royal Train Station is a flamboyant gem in Thai-temple style, with a staggered, steeply pitched, four-cornered tiled roof, angled windows, timber slats, and carved timber poles and gables supporting the roof overhangs. The luxurious Eastern & Oriental Express train, which runs from Singapore to Bangkok and on to Chiang Mai, stops here.

The Hua Hin Railway Hotel was built a year after the railway line reached town, as Hua Hin’s popularity was growing among the Thai elite. It is now somewhat clumsily renamed the Sofitel Central Hua Hin Resort, but renovations in 1986 returned it to its former colonial glory. With its breezy open-fronted lobby, leisurely rotating ceiling fans, forests of potted palms, timber paneling, shiny brass fittings, and imaginative gardens of animal topiary, it is now a trademark Southeast Asian colonial hotel. Before the lavish restoration, it was used as the setting for Phnom Penh’s Hotel Le Phnom in the 1984 movie The Killing Fields.

Hua Hin still retains a little of its fishing village character, albeit in a less emphatic way. The fishing pier, The Thiap Reua Pramong, along the town’s north waterfront, livens up in the late afternoon and early evening, when fisher folk return with their daily catch piled into multitudes of plastic baskets. Judging by location, the clutch of seafood restaurants nearby should have the freshest seafood. As you might expect, there is a plethora of seafood restaurants in Hua Hin, from the upscale selections in four and five star hotels, to folding-table rudimentary on the beach, along the footpaths, and in the markets. Be aware that price does not always reflect freshness or quality.

Wedged between the Sofitel Central Resort and the Thiap Ruea Pramong is the main tourist area, with restaurants, cafes, and bars lining the maze of narrow streets. This is the oldest part of Hua Hin, evidenced by the large number of lovely teak buildings and houses (many renovated) that have survived. The degree of gentrification gives the area a degree of charm rarely found in entertainment and tourist districts in the Thailand.

The Sofitel Central Resort opens graciously to Hua Hin Beach, a wide, impressive stretch of white sand that runs south uninterrupted along the Gulf of Thailand for about 3 miles (5 km) before its rocky conclusion at Khao Takiap. Smooth, rounded boulders stick out from the shallows, while the water—although clean—has the cloudy appearance typical of the gulf coast.

An almost iconic feature of the beach are its horses, most of which are no bigger than ponies. They can be rented for gallops on the beach—an especially popular pursuit at sunset. Beach strolling is also popular.

To the south, the beach edges onto a rocky bluff called Khao Takiap, or “chopsticks hill,” because of its twin peaks. A golden 66-foot (20 m) Buddha image abuts the cliff face with appropriate prominence at Wat Khao Lad. Watch for the army of precocious monkeys roaming the temple’s lower grounds; they like to steal eyeglasses and handbags. A staircase leads to the top of the wat, from where there are wide views of the coast and mountains, forest-shaded beaches, and the march of high-rise resort development.

Khao Takiap frames the northern end of a slightly curving bay before meeting Khao Tao about 3 miles (5 km) south. In between are the resort beaches of Hat Takiap, Hat Suan Son, and Hat Tao. The turnoff to Khao Takiap is 2.5 miles (4 km) along the coast road south from Hua Hin, or you can walk along the beach.
Farther south, the road cuts in from the coast to Pran Buri. Head through forests to the busy fishing village of Ban Pak Nam Pran, which has secluded beaches nearby.
In 1932, Rama VII was playing golf at the Royal Hua Hin Golf Course at the western edge of town, when he was told he had been overthrown in a bloodless coup. Scottish railway engineer A.O. Robins designed the course in 1924, which accounts for its “British” layout. Disturbing this Anglo-centric feel are views of hilltop chedis and monkeys that make off with golf balls lying too close to the fairway’s jungle fringes.

Nowadays, golf courses are more refined. The Springfields Royal Country Club of Cha-am, was designed by top U.S. golfer Jack Nicklaus and is one of the finest golf resorts in Thailand.

Eight quality courses in Hua Hin and nearby Cha-am make this area one of Asia’s premier golf destinations. Fees are reasonable, and you can hire clubs and golf carts. Caddies are provided, and tips are expected. Because of the debilitating tropical heat, there are plenty of refreshment stops around the courses. Hua Hin Golf Tours can help with suggestions and arrangements.

About 18 miles (29 km) west of Hua Hin, near the village of Ban Nong Phlab, interesting caves are found hidden in the forests that carpet the mountains of Hua Hin’s scenic backdrop. Dao, Lablae, and Kailon are caves a few miles apart from each other, near the village of Ban Nong Phlab. They are notable for their profusion of unusually wide, shell-shaped stalactites and contorted stalagmites. The best way to get to the caves is with a half-day tour, booked at your hotel.
