Hua Hin Mongkol Resort Co., Ltd.

HuaHin Town’s Society
Laying opposite from Pattaya in the Gulf of Thailand, the same can be said for the type of resort it is. The town doesn't have the general bawdyness that has been associated with Pattaya and doesn't posses so called 'entertainment centres'. So for those who want a more tranquil atmosphere, surrounded in a more traditional ambience, then Hua Hin is a more suitable place to visit.

History of Hua Hin
Hua Hin is Thailand's oldest seaside holiday town and has had connections with the Royal Family since the 19th century. The royal connection started in 1868 when King Mongkut travelled here to observe a total eclipse of the sun.
In 1910 the brother of Rama VI, Prince Chakrabongse visited the area on a wild-game hunt. He became so enchanted with the place, he had a villa built there. The first royal to build a palace here was Prince Naris, the son of Rama V, who had Saen Saram House built. In 1928 the Prince's brother King Vajiravudh (Rama VI) added to the royal connection by having the teakwood palace Deer Park built. Finally, in the late 1920's Rama VII had another palace built, Klai Kangwon or 'far from worries'. The name is ironic as it was while the king was here that he was dislodged from the throne in a coup d'etat in 1932. The Royal family still visit the palace to spend their summer days there.

The 1980's saw a resurgence in development, mainly to cater for the wealthier patrons of Bangkok. Condominiums stretch along the white sandy beach to the south of the bay. Championship golf courses have been constructed, to match that of the Royal Hua Hin Golf Club - the oldest in the kingdom, built in 1928. Resulting in Hua Hin becoming a major destination for golfing enthusiasts. Despite the modernisation, the charm of Hua Hin can still be found in the local community's continuence of their everyday activities. Visitors need not go no further than the fishing harbour and pier. The common sight of the fishermen turning over their catch, before loading up with ice and then head off into the night for the next days catch. Several restaurants near the pier are a good place to sample the catch. The nightmarket in the centre of town is another good place for getting to try out as many local dishes as you want.

Breezy Beaches
Hua Hin’s peaceful beach differs to many others in Thailand due to its refreshing sea breeze, and near the Sofitel Hotel, large rounded rocks protrude from the sea. A few sailing and jet ski operators work from Hua Hin, but not enough to disturb swimmers. However, occasional pests are jellyfish (these give painful burns, so be vigilant) and tiny black sand flies (their harmless-looking bites become very itchy a day later).

Imposing Views
For a good view of Hua Hin Beach, follow the shoreline south to Khao Takiap and walk up the steps to the temple. This is a good 7-km walk, but songthaews and taxis also go there. Alternatively, you could hire a pony from operators on the beach. Forty kilometers south of Hua Hin is the 98-sq. km Sam Roi Yod National Park, home to an impressive array of flora and fauna.
