Hua Hin District

Hua Hin District is a coastal area in Prachuap Khiri Khan Province stretching along the Gulf of Thailand with sandy beaches and several protected forest areas. The land combines seaside terrain with upland zones that create different environments throughout the region.

This former fishing settlement developed into a seaside destination after 1920 when a royal summer palace was built in the area. The royal connection influenced how the place grew and attracted more visitors over time.

The district features active markets where locals buy fresh seafood and handmade items from vendors every day. These gathering spaces shape how residents and visitors experience daily life throughout the area.

Visitors can reach the area by direct train service from Bangkok with a journey taking about four hours. The train station provides central access to different parts of the district for exploring.

The district is home to Thailand's first commercial wine operation where grapes grow in highland areas. This unexpected wine production in a tropical region offers visitors an unusual experience.
