Hua Hin is a coastal town that is a 3-hour drive from Bangkok. It is the traditional holiday resort of the Thai royal family. Compared with lively Pattaya, Hua Hin's downtown area has an elegant and calm atmosphere and boasts the most ancient and beautiful railway station in Thailand, as well as the former Thailand imperial palace.

Cha-Am is connected to Hua Hin and is a seaside resort on the east side of Thailand. Its continuous bay draws the outline of a beautiful curve. The sandy beach is very wide and the calm blue sea water is very clean. At the quiet and casual beach, Cha-Am has a more quiet environment compared with Hua Hin. There are very few foreign visitors. Bangkok's families and students come here for vacations, weekend parties, and during holidays and festivals.

Means of transport: Starting from Bangkok, you can arrive at Cha-Am by bus in about two or three hours. It is more convenient to start from Hua Hin, and you only need around a half-hour drive. You can spend a half day or one day enjoying leisurely holiday time here.

During the cozy vacation period, the clean white sand at the beach is soft and charming in the blue sky and sunshine. Only people wearing bathing suits strolling on the beach can be seen sporadically. You can sit on a beach bench and sunbathe, buy a drink and relax your mind, enjoy the seafood under an Arenga Pinnata tree, or experience simple entertainment activities such as banana boats, etc. The prices are relatively affordable.

Khao Takiab and Khao Krailart are 4km away from downtown Hua Hin. As these two mountains stand side by side, they look like a pair of chopsticks. So the local people call them "the chopstick mountains."

You can play with the naughty monkeys dotted around the mountain and next to a small temple. The mountain isn't high and you can arrive at the peak in about ten minutes. When climbing the mountain, you should pay attention to your baggage and belongings because some monkeys will try to grab your things. Bold tourists can also purchase bananas to feed them.

You can appreciate the coastline of Hua Hin as much as you like because there aren't many tourists, and the mountain overlooks the shore of Hua Hin at the summit of the mountain. There is a small fishing village at the foot of mountain as well as some local small inns where you can sit and have a meal.

Phraya Nakhon Cave is located in Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park and is adjacent to Bang Pu Village. The cave is located on a small island which is formed by an original reef due to the seawater decline. The cave is wide and beautiful with a grand landscape. There is also a natural opening at the top of cave that provides a natural light source. When the sunshine enters into the palace from the top of the cave, the resulting resplendent and magnificent landscape is stunning.

There is a four-corner palace with a unique style that was established during the reign of Rama V, the King of Thailand. Because of the unique style and charm of the palace, it has become the representation and symbol of Prachuap Khiri Khan. There are few tourists and the seawater is clear right to the bottom. The island's landscape is quite like the scenery of the south island, and is very pure and quiet. You can come to put your mind at rest and contemplate life.

The body of an eminent Thai monk that is highly respected by the Thai people is buried at the far right end of the cave, and there is a Buddha statue for worship. Rama V, Rama VII, and even the current Rama IX, all the Kings of Thailand pay religious homage to the monk by braving the long journey and the difficult climb up the mountain road.

Khao Wang is located on a hill in Phetchaburi. Mongkut, the King of Thailand, really loved this hill due to its natural essence, so he built his temporary imperial palace on the hill and named it "Phra Nakhon Khiri", meaning "city on the hill". Now, it has been changed into the state-run Phra Nakhon Khiri Museum.

Mongkut, the King of Thailand, was the inspiration for the valiant and majestic king in the film "Anna and the King", and Khao Wang was naturally used as the temporary imperial palace for the king in the film. When surmounting Khao Wang at the peak of the mountain by cable car, you can not only feel the natural essence of the "City on the Hill", you can also overlook the elegant urban landscape, and the vast land at the foot of mountain. It is a truly fascinating view.
