Thailands oldest beach resort town, Hua Hin and its twin Chaam have

endeavoured to preserve their old world charm and casual elegance.

Favoured by Thai Royalty, the town owes its existence to King

Prajadhipoks (Rama VII) decision to build a summer palace here.

What set Hua Hin on the road to prosperity was rst the construction

of the railway line during the reign of King Rama VI (1910-1925),

which was soon followed by the establishment of the Railway Hotel

and the Royal Hua Hin Golf Course. But even more important was the

construction of the summer palace, the Klai Kangwon Palace, meaning

far from worries, by King Rama VII in 1926 (The palace is today

the permanent residence of Thailands ruling monarch His Majesty

King Bhumibol). Once Hua Hin became the ofcial Royal Retreat, Thaiaristocracy ocked to the newly discovered seaside resort, building

summer homes in its bucolic surroundings. For long a cherished secret

of Bangkokians who retreated to it on the weekends, Hua Hin today

increasingly nds itself on the international tourist map thanks to the

western tourists who stumbled on Hua Hin. Ever since it has been on

the tourist trail. Yet it must be said, despite its growing popularity

Hua Hin has retained its provincial charm.
