Hua-Hin is perhaps the oldest sea resort of Thailand.
It is located about 200 km from Bangkok. Maybe not the oldest, but since the 20s of the twentieth century, this town is the official summer residence of the Royal Family of Thailand, after this place "opened" the Great Rama VI. At least once a year, members of the royal family come to relax in Hua Hin (at the Palace of Klaw Kangvon).
Hua Hin is a very picturesque place, with its tropical thickets (some of which belongs to the reserve), five kilometers of a snow-white beach and luxurious views. Interestingly, the name of the city is translated as a "stone head", this is because in the coastal waters of the city you can see sticking stones. Single stone heads. That's so simple!
The sea in this part is quite calm, strong adversies almost do not happen. In Hua-Hin, you can see many English-style houses, great hotels, small bungalows. It's great to come here to take up diving, fishing, well, or just be on the beach on the west coast of the Siamese Gulf.
The city is noisy, lively, almost 85 thousand people live here, and quite a few tourists. In the narrow alleys of the city of Magazins, shopping shops, restaurants and snack bars. Getting to the city is quite simple, by bus, for example, and there is a small airport, from which you can make flights around the country.
It can be noted that there are many attractions in the city.
Church of Huai Mongkol (Wat Huay Mongkol)
This Buddhist temple in Prachuap Kiri Kir is a 20-minute drive from the Hua Hin center to the West. By the way, this province is considered to be a gateway to South Thailand, so this wat built here. In honor of the very revered monk Luang on a tuada, who, during his lifetime, worked perfect wonders. A monk statue towers on a pedestal in the center of a beautiful park. This statue is huge, see it from afar! Near the statue - Pavilion. It seems like dedicated to the spirits of teak trees. In addition, in this temple, you can see the statues of smaller, which depict an elephant, no less impressive, its body is decorated with bas-reliefs, and on the fangs during the holidays hang flowers garlands. Near the figure of the monk there is a playground to which religious holidays are sometimes held.

The park occupies a large enough territory and borders with the cities of Phetchaburi and Prachuapkhirikhan. In this park on the elephants of the mountains of Tenassery (with the highest point of 1200 meters), tropical forests, oaks, chestnuts, maples, palm trees grow. And here there are 57 species of mammals, such as gibbons, tigers and deer, and a huge number of birds (400 views of minimum).
Two rivers run through the park, which merge in a lake area of about 46 sqm. Sometime, wild elephants were worn around the park, however, now there are much less. From Hua-Hina about two hours riding east.
