Prachuap Khiri Khan provinces capital, HuaHin, is located
281 km. south of Bangkok. The old town was abandoned during
the fall of Ayutthaya in the 1760s and a new settlement was
established in 1845.
Hua Hin is one of Thailands most popular seaside resorts
among overseas visitors as well as Thais. Located on the
sunrise (west) side of the Gulf of Thailand, Hua Hin lies some
200 km. or a three-hour drive southwest of Bangkok and is renowned as Thailands most traditional beach resort. It was here,
in the 1920s, that King Rama VII built a summer palace, thus
creating a vogue among high society for Hua Hin as a favourite
retreat from Bangkoks summer heat. Today the Royal Family
continues to reside at Hua Hin for part of the year. Hua Hin is
noted for its traditional fishing port with many seafood restaurants, and a splendid sandy beach which starts from a rocky
headland next to the port and curves gently for some 3 km. to its
southern point where Buddhist temples surmount hilltops. Hua
Hin is a well-established beach destination, with full facilities.
But in contrast to Pattaya, the long-established resort on the
opposite shore of the Gulf, Hua Hin provides a quiet, relaxed
retreat amid surroundings which preserve a typical Thai ambience. Hua Hin is thus well suited for families or those who wish
simply to escape the city bustle.

where it was reconstructed. Its gable tops were raised by
the king himself.
