As such, Hua Hin (Thailand’s first Bangkok is well-loved for its vibrant city life but perhaps what’s lacking is ready access to a beach. Because of this, Hua Hin (a beach resort frequented by the royal family since the 1920s) has become a popular weekend escape among Bangkokians as it’s just a 2.5-hour drive down South of the capital.
