Lying two-and-a-half hours southwest of Bangkok, Hua Hin has long-standing regal connections, seaside-resort allure and upstanding character that have given the town a lofty reputation among weekending capital dwellers and overseas visitors. In the latter half of the last decade, the popularity of Thailand’s first-ever beach getaway further soared as arrivals rose by 6% annually despite a bomb attack in 2016, and will be reinforced by the promise of high-speed rail links and flight connections serving Hua Hin’s modest airport.
Once a mere fishing village, the town’s historical appeal, balmy year-round climate, and solid range of amenities (healthcare, sporting and retail) continue to attract property developers both in the beachside area and the hillside hinterland. And the latest condominium openings only serve to bolster the resort’s chichi credentials.
