Hua Hin Beach
The name Hua Hin "Rocky Head" in Thai, is derived from the rocks that can be seen on the beach in front of the Sofitel Central Hotel. It has a 6-kilometer beach lined with a variety of private luxury beach houses, hotels and 5 star resorts. The beach stretches some 7 kilometres from the hill in the south called Khao Takiap, where the famous temple Wat Khao Takiap is located. The beach is wide and long with white sand and scattering rocks in some area. Some parts of the beach can be tranquil but activities such as horse riding, kite boarding, and water sports can also be found here.

Pranburi Beach
Pranburi - a haven of Boutique Resorts is some 25 km - 30 km south of Hua Hin. The beach itself may not be spectacular but its peaceful environment infuses a sense of privacy and exclusivity. It was never a popular weekend destination among travelers. In the past, holidaymakers preferred to stay in Hua Hin and drive to Pranburi for a one day trip. However, this is not the case, today, since it becomes a popular getaway among travelers from Bangkok who seek to relax in style. That contributes to the increase in the number of chic and boutique resorts. The trend started in 2002 when Evason Hotel Resort opened its first Boutique Resort in Pranburi. The resort was a huge success, luring local and foreign investors to follow its footstep. Yet it maintains its serenity. Some resorts in Pranburi offer a shuttle van service for their customers who want to go to Hua Hin for a night out.Nowadays, Pranburi is a tourist attraction by its own. An interesting attraction nearby Pranburi and Khao Tao is the Pranburi Forest Park, which occupies a large area with a one kilometre pine-fringed beach and mangrove nature trails.
