Top Things to do in Hua Hin
What to do and see in Hua Hin, Prachuap Khiri Khan Province: The Best Budget-friendly Things to do
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.

There was a Kid´s introduction to Thai Cooking. Kids were accompanied by their parents who stood aside but ready to assist. The Executive Chef explained to both Thai and Foreign kids what they were going to cook. The menu consisted of Pad That with Chicken and Sticky Rice with Mango. Neatly and well protected cooking spaces were in the middle of a vintage Thai environment with ancient wood carvings and statues, contributing to a cozy Thai atmosphere. The kids had a lot of fun and were very proud of their cooking. For the accompanying parents, there was a serving of Chicken with Cashew nuts and another choice of Massaman Curry with steamed rice. All done before our very eyes, repeatable at home. Kids paid THb 500. Money well spend as it was a lot of fun! Cooking classes and event lunches and dinners can also be planned there. I will definitely bring my tennis buddies and spouses for an original Thai cooking class and celebration afterwards to this great venue on Soi 19. easy to find . there is an Arch on Petschkasem which is the Soi 19 entrance. The Venue is on the right side, Fourth road on the left. It is a must !

3. Wat Khao Krailas

Named after the sacred mountain Kailaaśa in the Himaalaya, this temple complex offers good panoramic views of the surrounding areas - both the sea and the hills. The architecture is subdued and tasteful, and the hill is dotted by kuTis, monastic dwellings that suggest it having been used as a meditation Wat. Overall a worthy short pilgrimage.

A nice place to spend the evenings where you can browse the arts and crafts, sit in the open air and listen to live music, you have a great choice of food, the Cicada market though is only open at the weekends and can be very busy if you a going by car.

As from 1st October 2017 we are proud to announce that trekking will no longer be offered at Hutsadin, instead we offer our visitors a range of activities that promote a close interaction with our elephants. In a safe environment for both elephant and visitor. Here you can take a bareback ride, walk with an elephant, shower and feed them or simply visit us. We also offer educational talks 3 days a week and a 3 hour mahout experience is available twice a week. Check out our website activities page where you will find full descriptions of the activities that we offer along with costs.

We chose to visit the elephant foundation based on good reviews on trip advisor and we were not disappointed. The sanctuary has 6 elephants all with sad but interesting stories of how they came to be in the sanctuary. It is obvious all the elephants are well loved and cared for by their mahouts and the volunteers at the centre. We chose to do the elephant walk where you go on a walk with one of the elephants and their mahout and also the volunteer who tells you the individual elephant’s story, about their personality and you have a basket of fruit to feed your elephant as you walk alongside it. You then get to shower the elephant on return from the walk. It was up close and personal and extremely interesting. On a previous visit to Thailand we did an elephant basket ride but they do not offer this at the foundation due to the discomfort and stress it can cause the elephant and which I wouldn’t ever do again based on the experience with the elephants and information we received on our visit. You can do a bareback ride on the elephant at Hutsadin but we chose not to and instead loved our elephant walking experience.

A nice place to come once you have one/two hours and if you like art. Paintings start generally from 500 bat and can easyly reach 25.000/30.0000. You can negotiate of course. There is a limited number of antiques. We really connected with the artist Wetchayan Unhasuwan very nice and modest person. We bought a few of his nice paintings. Price/quality of his paintings is very good. Also restaurant was nice, facing a little pond. Food was od a good quality and arrived pretty quickly.

travelled by boat from beach at National park entrance round to bay where we found path to cave. Not really a path so much as roughly hacked out steps in the rock. very steep climb for about 1/2 K, definitely not for the faint hearted or unfit. Well rewarded on arrival by fantastic scenery & great photo opportunities. Dont leave anything lying around or the monkeys will have it.
