8 Things to Do in Hua Hin That You Shouldn't Miss
A favorite getaway for Bangkok residents, Hua Hin is a pretty beachside town. Family friendly and relaxed, it lacks the all-night partying and seedier aspects that make other nearby beach resorts a haven for unsavory characters. Once a small fishing village, it was transformed into a royal resort, and it’s these close links with Thai royalty that ensure Hua Hin won’t become overdeveloped or lose its small-town vibe.

The charcoals burning and the street foods cooking. everything from fish, satay skewers to food trucks with ribs. The local Thai Idol winner (only joking - but sang as if he's been on Idol), kept us all entertained as we dined in with the locals for a wonderful selection of Thai food.
3. Black Mountain Water Park
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1 reviews
The Black Mountain Water Park is spread over 48000Sqm and is situated a short distance from the centre of Hua Hin, just 15 minutes from town. It opened in 2011 and is now one of the most favourite tourist attractions in the region. Tourists and local residents have been extremely complimentary about the good times spent on the many exciting attractions. The Park is full of high quality, modern equipment that is all operated in line with the highest safety standards and supervised by highly trained lifeguards. We have a 17 metre high tower with 9 different slides, a spectacular wave pool which is made the biggest wave in Thailand, the lazy river, a beach/infinity pool and children's pool, inflatable "Wibit" Sport Park all providing the best fun filled day out a family can have.

Was almost baffled at how well run this place is. We went with grandma and two kids (2 and 8 years old). Everyone had a fantastic time.
- Friendly, helpful staff. This in itself is a rarity, but here, the staff seemed genuinely engaged. My son lost his goggles in the lazy river and one of the lifeguards immediately started looking for them, grabbed a net, and fished them out two minutes later. I didn't even ask for or expect help!
- Well-designed. The park is compact and well laid-out, easy to find your way around. It's also safe - the equipment is well-maintained, they have helmets (required on the bigger slides) readily available, the inner tubes are all well-inflated. (Ok, the only questionable thing here is the little playground, which is directly out in the burning sun with no cover. Unsurprisingly, I didn't see anyone using it.)
- Something for everyone. Grandma loved the lazy river, and even went on one of the slides. There are baby slides for little ones, and super curly steep ones for older kids. One of the slides was genuinely frightening (but I went on it with my kid 4 times), others are vary degrees of exhilarating and fun. There's a blue tunnel one with lights inside that you ride in a tube - this is the best one. The wave pool was also a lot of fun.
- Manageable. We were there on a holiday weekend, and it was not too crowded. There were plenty of people there, it was just big enough to handle the numbers that come. Lines at the slides were minimal if at all, which is really great when you're with impatient kids.
- Reasonably priced. Unlike a lot of these kinds of attractions in Thailand that charge staggeringly high ticket prices, the entry fee is perfectly fair. You have to eat their food, but prices are fine. Nice to not feel like you're getting ripped off the whole day. Also - same price for foreigners and locals, which is refreshing.

They treat the elephants very well here. We really enjoyed taking them for a walk and giving them a cool shower. It might seem a bit pricey but it’s going towards a good cause.Thank you for taking one of our gentle giants for a walk - the experience is priceless and something not available anywhere else in the area :)

We spent 2 days at the park while relaxing at the Holiday Inn. It does not get any more convenient, than to have your watchband to access the park. Great slides and water activities. We will be back and recommend to anyone, that is looking to get away from the heat in Bangkok, to visit this Water Park to cool off :)
