Looking for a nice weekend getaway with a lot to offer? Then Hua Hin could be the answer.
Located around 200km south of Bangkok, Hua Hin boasts an impressive 5km sandy beach which is much less developed than either Pattaya or Phuket. As the oldest beach resort in Thailand, Hua Hin was the summer residence of choice for the Thai Royal family. Today, Hua Hin attracts Thais from Bangkok and foreign tourists looking for ‘something different’.
Hua Hin has its fair share of attractions including the Royal Summer Palace, national parks, the Pa La-U Waterfall, international golf courses, the Ploen Wan shopping center, a very popular Night Market and the Hua Hin Railway Station (the most beautiful and historic railway station in Thailand).
The town has a wide range of restaurants – from cheap Thai restaurants to those offering the international cuisine to the highest standards.
Hua Hin is about a 3-hour drive from Bangkok. Many Bangkok taxi drivers are happy (with prior arrangement) to take you to and collect you from Hua Hin (usually around 2,000 – 2,500 baht each way) or alternatively book a private limo service.
While the gay scene is certainly quieter in Hua Hin than Pattaya or Phuket, there is a strong gay and lesbian community in the region. All year long, gay folks from Bangkok travel to Hua Hin, not necessarily to explore the gay scene but to relax and spend time with their friends. There are a number of gay bars and venues that can can be found near Hua Hin’s main street. Some open and close after just a couple of years. We list those that have endured.

Hua Hin has a wide selection of hotels and resorts. The so-called “boutique” resorts usually offer great value for money. We list those that have proven popular with gay travelers. It’s worth mentioning that although most of our hotel recommendations are rated five stars, the prices are not exorbitantly high by Western standards.
