The stylish beachfront Seenspace mall is a very hip place to hang-out; the place not only offers some fab shopping options, including the purchase of mid-range designer wear but is also home to ritzy eateries and beachside bars, offering delicious and refreshing concoctions to drink and delicious bites to eat on the sandy shores. Good news for guests staying at Anantara Hua Hin Resort, this hip mall is a mere 5 minutes away and hanging out there eating, shopping and chilling is one of the best things to do in Hua Hin Thailand.
This gorgeous paradise is a scenic 1 hours' drive from your Hua Hin resort and boasts its own fascinating legend. According to myth, it is believed that 300 tradesmen from China sought refuge in the park when their Junk capsized; keep in mind that in that time the sea spread further inland. Hence, the place was named Ko Sam Roi Rot which means 'Island of Three Hundred Peaks'; however, over time the sea receded causing the park to be named Khao Sam Roi Rot meaning 'Mountain of Three Hundred Peaks'. Nature lovers will find the park a stunning haven of scenic lookout points, complete with coves and caves to explore; that's not all, you can look forward to a full day of discovering isolated beaches, verdant marshes, and uninhabited islands.
A mystical place to explore Phraya Nakhon Cave should be visited in the morning. Try and time your visit to the cavern to coincide with the moment the sun's rays penetrate its interior through the hidden Thai Pavilion; to be precise, make sure you're there by 10 am to view this spectacular show.
Hua Hin's iconic viewpoint, Khao Daeng promises to stun and awe you with its breath-taking birds-eye views of the surroundings. Make sure to put on a sturdy pair of walking shoes before you take on the 50-minute hike to the popular lookout point. Make the effort to trek further to the summit of the mountain, just before sunrise and you will be rewarded with a very spectacular show.
This pretty boardwalk is spread 1km over the lush marsh of Hua Hin. The Bueng Bua boardwalk is not the only option to explore the place, although a saunter along its wooden path will treat you to stunning views of marshes, and ponds full of lotus flowers as misty mountains frame the background. You can take along a bike or bicycle and explore the park further.
