Hua Hin is Thailand's oldest seaside resort town, with its origins dating back to the reign of King Rama VI and achieving great prosperity during the reign of King Rama VII after the railway arrived and Klai Kangwon Palace was constructed as a royal summer residence. Hua Hin is situated on the Gulf of Thailand, with its long, sweeping beach being the main attraction. Transportation is convenient, both by car and train, making it a continuously popular destination for over a century. Hua Hin is a city that clearly preserves the ambiance of an aristocratic retreat from the past.
