Fancy
something different in Thailand? Hua Hin is great for Kiteboarding and Windsurfing
with winds up to 20 knots. The PKRA (Professional Kiteboard Riders Association)
managed the Intercontinental Hua Hin Kiteboarding World Cup last year. Great Sun, Sand and Wind!
Unusual
for a Thai beach town, Hua Hin has a relatively tame nightlife. This can be attributed to the fact that this
town is where the royals come to unwind from city life. South of Bangkok on the Malay Peninsula, Hua Hin by itself is on the tourist map for its 5 kilometer long and very wide and
clean beach.
If
you want to unwind with a little nightlife, Soi Bintabahn in Hua Hin is the place
to go to. For jungle adventures such as
trekking, the nearby Sam Roi Yot Park has limestone mountains, caves, swamps,
and beaches to go explore. There are also
the Namtok Pa Lau waterfalls to go splashing about and a little ways away, Dan Singkhon is the border town with Myanmar, where you can see or buy Myanmarese
nature products. After your stopover in Hua Hin, you can continue on to Koh Samui
and the rest of the sun soaked country down south.
