Hua Hin Holidays

This has become one of the most popular tourist attractions in the area in recent years and it’s not hard to see why. Located approximately 15km outside of Hua Hin, the waterpark offers a great choice of water slides including the exhilarating Black Wave and nerve-testing Purple Speed to the gentler Green and Wide Wave slides which are a little more suited to the younger guests. There’s also a lazy river, wave pool and a children’s adventure pool to keep everyone entertained and happy! This place really does provide a great day out for families and thrill-seekers alike.

If you’re interested in local art and would like to try painting or sculpting, then this original arts centre is a popular choice offering classes for all abilities. Home to about fifteen artist families, they also exhibit all of their work, which ranges from woodcarving and clay sculpture to oil paintings, photography and costume design.

Located approximately 20km south of Hua Hin, and best reached using one of the local taxis, is the village of Khao Tao. Here you’ll find Hat Sai Noi, a beautiful stretch of secluded beach and the perfect place to visit if you’re looking for something a little quieter (although we would recommend visiting it during the week and avoiding the busier weekends and public holidays). There’s also a large temple complex perched on a cliff above the bay which is worth visiting and contains several Buddha statues and shrines.

There’s a good selection of night markets and bazaars which are worth a trip to but do check which days they open as some are not daily. If you just fancy a browse, then people-watching is great, but if you’re after a few souvenirs then these markets are a great place to pick up a few bargains! Remember to barter hard though as the stall holders will often start with a price which is double that that they would accept. If the whole bartering process is done in a light-hearted way, it can be fun for all those involved!
