Hua Hin is a seaside resort city in the Gulf of Thailand. Once a quiet fishing village, it grew into a fashionable escape for residents of Bangkok after the 1920s, when the Thai royal family built their summer palaces here.
As a royal residential coastal city, Hua Hin earns its status as a well-organized and low crime area.
Hua Hin is a premium city for wonderful vacations and permanent living, situated just 2 hours from Bangkok. The population of 90,000 people has a large ex-pat community with a broad mix of nationalities headed by Scandinavians. There is a wide range of local and western shopping facilities, a variety of Thai and Western cuisine restaurants as well as many sports activities including Golf, Kite surfing, and other water sports. For the golfer, Hua Hin is just the place to go with more than 10 golf courses of international standard.
Education facilities for families with children considering permanent settlement are excellent with several international schools.
The climate is brilliant close to the ocean, fresh air and no pollution is normal in Hua Hin. Wherever you wish to settle down in the region, you can enjoy great nature with beaches and green hillsides and still you will be able to go shopping, dining, golfing and to entertainment within just a 15-minute drive.
Hua Hin Airport is planning to expand the runway for more international traffic. Later a high-speed train will take you to Bangkok in short 45 minutes. Also, a catamaran ferry for cars and passengers will connect Hua Hin with Pattaya on the east coast of the Gulf of Thailand.
