  The Royal Resort of Hua Hin

Hua Hin is the oldest and most traditional Thai beach resort holiday destination in Thailand. Home to the King of Thailand's summer palace, the beachfront resort town of Hua Hin is held in high regard by Thais. In recent years, the charming town has become recognized as a premier holiday destination and is now attracting visitors from around the world, many deciding to purchase a second home or settle here permanently.


  Historic Town

In 1926, during the reign of King Rama VII, Klai Kangwon Palace was built. Meaning 'far from worries', Klai Kangwon is still the official royal residence and in recent years the King has spent much of his time at the palace. His presence ensures that there is a strong military and police presence in Hua Hin, resulting in controlled development and a low crime rate.
