Hua Hin is Much Bigger when Including Surrounding Towns
Hua Hin is located 200km from the South of Bangkok on the East Side of the Malay Peninsula.
The drive from Bangkok to Hua Hin is an easy journey only taking about 2hrs. This is one of the many reasons why many foreigners invest in Hua Hin Property. The new highway is almost 100% done or one can take a flight from Bangkok, arriving in Hua Hin in only 40mins.
Hua Hin is much bigger than one would think. Regular Travel books do not include all the surrounding villages that are considered part of Hua Hin by most foreigners living here.
Here is a breakdown of the areas:
Bor Fai : North of Hua Hin City. Known for its scenic mountain views and amazing sunsets.
Hua Hin Center: This area is rapidly changing with a major facelift so to speak. New shops, restaurants and services are opening on a monthly basis. If one enjoys city living in a country style environment this is it.
Hua Hin West: This area is well known for its calm mountainous living surroundings and Sea Views.
Khao Takiab: This Quaint Fishing Village is 5km south of Hua Hin’s town center. This area offers many new condominium choices, restaurants, and boutique resorts on a long stretch of white sand beaches.
Khao Tao: This area is 10km from the center of Hua Hin and quickly becoming a major area for foreigners to view some exciting new development projects. I especially like that it has both lakes and the sea.
