HUA HIN - IN THE KNOW HUA HIN HISTORY AND TOURIST ATTACHTIONS

281 kilometers south of Bangkok, Hua Hin, which literally means stone head in Thai, is the oldest beach resort of the country and is still very popular. Clean white sand, crystal clear water and a tranquil atmosphere has continued to attract tourists in search of peaceful and relaxing holidays. 

The town was originally known as Ban Samoe Rieng, or Ban Laem Hin (Stony Point Village). The construction of a railway station in the city as part of the Southern Railroad in the reign of King Rama VI resulted in making Hua Hin stand out from many quite

fishing villages. In addition, the construction of a Summer Palace of King Rama VII totally transformed the village into a high-society resort town for royalty. Even today, the Royal Family continues to reside at the Palace for part of the year.

Hua Hin’s consequence came with the opening of the Railway Hotel an elegant Victorian-style resort hotel, and also the country first standard golf course. A cluster of royal and high-society residences gradually became more visible resulting in the transformation of the whole village into the first seaside resort of the country, where visitors could enjoy swimming, fishing, and golfing in the country’s first standard golf course.

Today, Hua Hin is a well-established beach destination with word-class facilities coupled with a true sense of Thai hospitality. Despite its expansive growth and development as a luxurious destination, the splendor of Hua Hin remains intact. Remaining content in itself, Thailand’s oldest seaside resort has never sought international recognition. It has continued to provide a peaceful and relaxed sanctuary in a picturesque environment that comes with a true sense of historical identity.

BAAN ISSARA

It is located outside the Hua Hin Center. The restaurant is very busy everyday as it is favorite with Thais, good taste and reasonable price .Dishes can be toned down for visitors so ask for.

This is a long well-known local Thai restaurant where you can have a very delicious dinner. Don't expect a five-star service. This is a typical upper level beach restaurant.Baan Isara is slightly outside of the city center which probably explains why nobody reviewed it yet.....

What a shame because it is a real gem! Absolutely delicious Thai food in a great setting: and old house right next to the beach. Everything is excellent. Make sure you try one of their house specialties, seafood with lots of garlic and basil (in a way, similar to a “pesto sauce”) served on a piping hot plate.

Whilst service can be a little bit slow, you can't blame them as they are always jam-packed with locals and have extremely reasonable prices which does not entitle one to complain about anything
