Top Things to do in Hua Hin
What to do and see in Hua Hin, Prachuap Khiri Khan Province: The Best Nature & Parks
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.

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.

Hua Hin Beach. The beach from our hotel the Centers Beach Resort was easily accessible. There are long flat stretches of amazing sand in both directions. The sea was calm and warm which made paddling delightful. Food and drink was availablel at beach cafes. Horses replace donkeys for those who prefer to ride rather than walk. The beach was never crowded even at weekends during our stay and is popular with Kite Surfers.

This beach was recommended and we went on a Thai national holiday so it was lovely to see a beach that wasn't full of just Europeans on sunbeds. It gave it a totally different feel. You have to go through an army checkpoint to get onto the beach. There are some small shops and a restaurant if you want something to eat. If you go along the beach towards Takiab, there is a hotel where you can sit and get a drink (no food that day as it was NYE and they were preparing for their gala dinner)The sea was shallow and good for swimming and you could rent a deck chair for pennies.

Khao Takiab Beach is relaxing. I don't usually do sun loungers under an army of parasols. I hate being burnt. However, this beach got me good. I was paddling, swimming, reading (a full Jack Reacher novel), and eating the most delicious food (by the Blue Wave Resort pathway). Some memories will never leave you. That was a good two days of visits to such a long and active - yet quiet beach. So much to watch, so much to see.
