Hua Hin
This phenomenal beach town resort in Thailand is incredibly old and highly rich in antiques. It is only 200km away from Bangkok capital and lies to the west of the Gulf coast, ultimately making it the best getaway destination for the wealthy and the affluent. Right after the 1920s, the construction of the southern railway ushered in an era of accessible travel and luxurious resorts. The pioneer hotel was the Railway Hotel, now called the Centara Grand Hua Hin, a popular destination in the area.
At the local markets, you will find assortments of souvenirs ranging from local foods to crafts and exotic fruits. The broad range of Hua Hin bars and restaurants is more than a statement. Then, you can relax to a refreshing massage at the spa before moving to the center’s shopping mall where you can shop to your heart’s desire.
Do you love golf? You will find the Banyan Golf Club only half an hour away from Hua Hin. In addition to this is the Sea Pines.

Another golf course is the Royal Hua Hin Golf Course which was constructed in 1924 at the Hua Hin Train Station.
