CITY GUIDE · HUA HIN
Five beach resorts in and around Hua Hin, from a wellness retreat to pool villas near the town's night markets.
Hua Hin is a beach town on the Gulf of Thailand, roughly a two-and-a-half to three-hour drive from Bangkok. InterContinental and V Villas both sit on Petchkasem Road in the middle of town, close to restaurants and local markets. The Standard is on Naresdamri Road, with street vendors and markets just beyond its edge. Chiva-Som is a beachside wellness retreat built around programs rather than sightseeing. Pick the central hotels if you want to walk to dinner, and the retreat if you want a quieter, structured stay.
Reference rates: nightly, 2 adults in one room, before tax, across four dates a year; from about US$93 a night.
Naresdamri Road, Hua Hin · near Hua Hin street markets · 196 rooms
The Standard is at 59 Naresdamri Road on the Gulf of Thailand coast, with 196 rooms, a modernist-influenced design and a blue-tiled pool.
