Hua Hin, Administrative district with coastal resorts in Prachuap Khiri Khan, Thailand

The district extends over 911 square kilometers of land, encompassing long sandy beaches, mountain ranges, and seven administrative subdivisions with 63 villages.

Originally named Samore Riang in 1834, the area transformed from a farming settlement into a coastal destination after the Railway Hotel opened in 1921.

The Ratchaphakdi Park displays seven bronze statues of former Thai kings, each measuring 14 meters in height and weighing 30 tonnes.

The district connects to Bangkok through multiple transportation options, including a railway station, buses, and a 199-kilometer road network to the south.

The Wildlife Friends Foundation Thailand Rescue Centre maintains a sanctuary for 700 animals, including tigers, bears, and native birds in natural surroundings.
