Hun Hin is noted for its traditional fishing port
with many seafood restaurants, and a splendid
sandy beach which starts from a rocky headland
next to the port and curves gently for some 3
km. to its southern point where Buddhist temples
surmount hilltops.
Prachuap Khiri Khan provinces capital, Hua Hin, is located
281 km. south of Bangkok. The old town was abandoned during
the fall of Ayutthaya in the 1760s and a new settlement was
established in 1845.
Hua Hin is one of Thailands most popular seaside resorts
among overseas visitors as well as Thais. Located on the
sunrise (west) side of the Gulf of Thailand, Hua Hin lies some
200 km. or a three-hour drive southwest of Bangkok and is renowned
as Thailands most traditional beach resort. |
