Have you set your sights on a beach holiday in Hua Hin? If so, you are in for a truly unbelievable getaway. If it’s going to be your first time here, however, you may be a bit unsure of what to pack. Don’t worry, just keep the packing guide below in mind, and you will be good to go!
With Hua Hin’s gorgeous beaches and poolside retreats, you will practically live in your swimsuit. Pack a few different styles for beach selfies and pool pics, because who doesn’t love options? Bonus: Rotating suits give them a chance to dry while you keep having more fun!
The tropical vibes call for comfy clothing, so bring cotton or linen shorts, skirts, and T-shirts. Hua Hin is all about keeping things casual, and these lightweight fabrics will keep you cool while looking fab. Plus, it’s the perfect excuse to break out those summer outfits!
Planning to visit temples in Hua Hin like Wat Bor Fai? Pack a shawl, sarong, or clothing that covers your shoulders and knees. It’s all about showing respect while staying comfy. Pro tip: a versatile shawl can double as a beach cover-up later!
While you can enjoy carefree barefoot days on the beach while staying at properties like Avani+ Hua Hin Resort, having flip-flops (or sandals) will come in handy as you get about. Of course, when it comes to exploring the town, bustling night markets, or vineyards, comfy walking shoes are ideal.
Be it on holidays planned ahead or at the last minute, Hua Hin hotels will offer easy access to the beach and endless days in the sun. Of course, suffering sunburn can ruin your getaway, so bring effective sunscreen (ideally, at least SPF 30) and use it regularly. Also, if you plan to go in the water, ensure your product is reef-safe as well.
Shield your eyes and stay chic with a good pair of sunnies. Add a wide-brimmed hat or cap to complete the look and protect your face from the sun’s glare. You will thank yourself later when you look cool in every snap and selfie too!
Saltwater and sun can leave your skin parched. That’s why, apart from drinking lots of water, you should have a good moisturising cream. Of course, in between time at the beach and a nightly moisturising routine, you can also enjoy some pampering at a resort spa in Hua Hin to give your skin some extra TLC!
Exploring Hua Hin can be thirsty work, so it’s important to drink plenty of water. But while staying hydrated is key on your adventures, so is being eco-friendly. With that in mind, bring a reusable water bottle, which you can easily fill up during your excursions, and help to reduce plastic waste. Win-win!
Keeping your devices charged is a must for navigating, snapping pics, and staying connected with loved ones back home. That said, keep in mind that the standard voltage in Thailand is 220 volts (frequency is 50 hertz). Not sure if your devices can be plugged in? An ideal option would be to have a universal adapter, which you can use in other destinations too.
With so much time spent by the water, a waterproof travel pouch is your gadget’s best friend. Keep your phone, Kindle, or even a bit of cash safe while you enjoy the waves worry-free. It will also come in handy in case a sudden shower catches you unawares on your escapades.
