Since the 1920s, Hua-Hin has held the two attractions of a charming coasted fishing environment, and Royal history. Cha-Am (just 2 hours drive south of Bangkok ) has been a favorite for Thais ever since. Perfect beaches, refreshing sea breezes and the range of fascinating local diversions draw visitors back-some weekly, many monthly, most annually, returning for memorable experiences. Also in this area is the Klai Kangwong (far from worries) Summer Palace, which continues today to be the official holiday residence of their Majesties, the King and Queen of Thailand.
