Fun in the sun and other alluring charms

To the south of Khao Takiap is Takiap Bay, a 5km strip that includes the beaches of Hat Takiap, Suan Son and Khao Tao. These beaches are more isolated and are fronted by numerous hotels and resorts. Hat Takiap is the most popular of the three and is easily reached by ‘songthaew’ (local hop-on taxi) from the centre of Hua Hin. It is also the site of a small fleet of fishing boats and a collection of excellent seafood restaurants where you can enjoy sumptuous seafood at a fraction of what it would cost back home.

Hua Hin’s other charms include an array in interesting sights and attractions to explore, such is the Summer Palace, a beautiful train station, local markets, a butterfly sanctuary, vantage points, waterfalls, scenic walks – to mention but a few (have a look at our What To See page for all the highlights). Overall, Hua Hin is a fantastic beach destination that has all the ingredients of a memorable holiday – whether you’re travelling alone, with a partner, kids or even your mother-in-law!
