and small houses available for rent in the area. Hua Hin rentals can be difficult to find during the high season but there are many agents that can help with Hua Hin rental situation. Luxury villas can also sometimes

Hua Hin is an ideal spot for a family vacation. Many tour agencies offer vacation packages offering reduced Hua Hin hotel rates, tours, green fees and transport in the package.

Many of the larger chains have hotels and resorts in Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Pattaya and Hua Hin so transfering from one location to another can be
quite simple. Full spa facilities are more and more available at the larger hotels.
The oldest and most renowned of the Hua Hin hotels is the Hotel Sofitel Central Hua Hin, formally known as the Railway
Hotel. Originally built in 1924 by the State Railway Authority and now leased
by the Central Group and managed by the Sofitel chain of hotels, the Sofitel
Hua Hin offers historical charm and elegance comparable to only the best
hotels in the world. Like the Oriental in Bangkok, the Raffles in Singapore
and the Galle Face in Colombo, a holiday here is a once in a lifetime experience.
Situated on 40 acres of well manicured gardens with shrubs trimmed in delightful animal shapes, the grounds alone are worth a visit. After which, afternoon tea in the Museum or a long drink in the Elephant Bar are a must. 1 Damnoenkasem Rd. Tel: (032) 512-021.
The Dusit Resort and Polo Club is the perfect place to escape for some beach
side relaxation. There are over 300 rooms, five restaurants, four bars, and one of the largest pools in Thailand. The pool and
gardens are reason enough to visit this resort. Service is excellent. As the complete resort, the hotel also provides
an extensive choice of sports and recreational amenities, including a
comprehensive range of water sports, tennis and squash courts, fitness center,
horse riding track and the Palm Hills Golf Course is right across the road. The San Marco restaurant hosts the resort's ever popular 'Pasta Factory Buffet' every Wednesday.
1349 Petchkasem Rd., Cha Am. Tel: (032) 520-009.
The Dusit also hosts the Annual Cricket Six's Match This international cricket match is held early April. With over a dozen teams competing from around the world, the local Hua Hin Hopalongs have their work cut out for them each year. Come see cricket the way it should be played--for only 50 minutes a match. If you're planning on coming to Thailand or Hua Hin for the Songkran Festival, and enjoy cricket also, then come a few days early and you can do both.
After many years of traveling in Thailand, this is probably one of my favorite of all Thailand hotels. There's been nothing like, at the end of a long drive north from Had Yai, arriving at the Dusit to be walked to my room by a charming and friendly staffperson, then to have a long cool one on my balcony overlooking the magically lit pool. Then it's back to reality when I turn on CNN to catch up on the news of the day while I call Bangkok to check the email. I never had the time to sample most of their facilities but I have many fond memories of the service and view.

This is not to say that there are not many outstanding facilities in Hua Hin. While not even all the luxury resorts can offer the same standards as Chiva-Som, not all charge almost $1,500 per person per night for their basic treatment package, or are able to offer the wide variety of health and treatment packages as does the premier spa in Asia.
