first beach resort, Hua Hin has an almost continuous royal connection since the
19th century. King Mongkut journeyed to Hua Hin to observe a total
eclipse of the sun. Prince Chakrabongse visited Hua Hin on a hunting trip and
was so enchanted by the sea.
Hua Hin refers to a stone outcrop at the end at the end of the fine white sandy beach. The beach has a different atmosphere to Pattaya, having promoted itself as the “Queen of Tranquility”.
