In 1926, a summer palace was built for King Rama VI in the seaside town of Hua Hin. It is only a 3 hour drive to the south-west from Bangkok and a very popular holiday spot for Thais. As it is low season it was very quiet and it was a nice last trip to take in Thailand.
The beach at Hua Hin is 5km long and quite clean. I took an early morning walk along this nice stretch of white sand and warm water.
When you reach the end of the beach your reward is the the spectacular Buddha of Wat Khao Takiap overlooking the water.
Then you turn around and this is the view back to the north and the town centre.
The actual town of Hua Hin is not much to write home about but does have its own charm.
The Chinese Temple sits on a rocky outcrop (with the Hilton towering over it from behind).
Hua Hin is a fishing village and the fresh seafood was excellent. The final shots show the harbour and piers of Hua Hin.
A pretty beach. The photo with the beach and the high rise buildings is not unlike our beaches here. A good place to relax and swim.I guess this is your last blog before setting off for home. See you soon
