Hua Hin is about a 4 hour drive from Bangkok and lies on the North eastern coast. It can be reached from Bangkok by coach, taxi, train or a short flight.Hua Hin is possibly the most luxurious of destinations and has been associated with Thai Royalty since the 19th century which will account for it having some of the best hotels in Thailand.

If you are staying in some of the more well-known hotels such as the Hilton or Marriott then you will be treated to a perfect stretch of sand to laze about on (most hotels have their own beach area).Attractions around Hua HinKaeng Krachan National ParkThis park is just over 60km north-west of Hua Hin and can be reached by bus or an arranged tour. It is Thailand's largest protected area and if you are lucky (very lucky) you may spot elephant, tiger, leopard, gibbon and the endangered woolly-necked stork.The park is also home to caves which are a good hours walk from Nongphlab village. These caves have many stalactites and stalagmites to see.It is recommended that you enlist the services of a local (English speaking) guide to take you on a tour of the park and into the caves.Khan Sam Roi Yod National ParkThis park is approx. 45km south of Hua Hin and due to the surrounding limestone and salt flats it provides a huge array of wetland habitat. It is relatively small so is easy to walk form one sight to another and gives you ample opportunity to view many of Thailand's water-birds.Khan Sam Roi Yod also has caves so you can also see an impressive display of stalactites and stalagmites.
