If you are a golfer shop around for greenfees and never go straight to the golf club as this is the most expensive choise. Example Palm Resort charges Baht 1800 but I bought it for Baht 1400 at a travel agency in the Bookazine shop. If you want a break from Thai and sea food, visit Brasserie de Paris which is very good with excellent service at reasonable prices.

Hua Hin is a seafood lover's paradise. Giant prawns the size of small lobsters, crabs and mollusks and fish - some swimming in tanks - beckon from the dozen or so jetty restaurants set on Hua Hin Beach but accessible from Naresdamri Road. Do ask for your choice of seafood to be cooked in the aromatic Thai-style
as they bring out the flavours best. But specify less "spicy" - the local term for chili-hot if required.
Work off your dinner excesses with a stroll through the lively Night Market just 10 leisurely minutes away down Dechanuchit Road. En route, you can also pick up a copy Tag Heuer for 400 baht, or order a custom tailored suit for 3000 baht.
Golfers will love being pampered by the lady caddies on the many resort courses. But don't leave Hua Hin without having a massage or three at the Royal Thai Spa opposite the Hilton. Did someone mention paradise?

I can recommend a visit to the Elephant village. Very friendly people, cute elephant baby performs and a very funny bumpy ride on an elephant plus drink costs 700 baht/person. Easiest way to get there is by Tuk-tuk.

After one week in Bangkok, Hua Hin is a nice change at this time of year. It is quiet and much less hectic than the capital. I found the high number of Italian restaurants quite surprising. The Springfield golf course is nice and easy, and my compulsory caddie was quite good. She knew the course and could read the greens very well.

We played golf at Lake View, Majestic Creek and Springfield. All three courses is very nice and professional. There is a little to save if booking Springfield by a golf shop 200 meters left from the hotel, about 500 THB per person. Remember to tip the caddie, normally doubble the caddie fee (200 THB). The caddies are normally young people living only from the tip. We were transported round in Hua Hin first by bicycle, 2 hours 200 THB, later in car for 4 hours 500 THB.
Elephant riding was not that good, ½ hour 1000THB for both of us.
Interesting to go to the monkey mountain, and feeding the monkeys. It is cheap to buy suits, and a lot of other things. When having a suit, go for the best quality - Kashmir wool with Thai silk. I got 2 suits for 10000 THB.
Don`t forget to get massage - Thai massage for one hour 300 - 400 THB.
My wife and I can highly recommend to go to Hua Hin. We have only tried Bangkok and Pattaya earlier, and Hua Hin is a lot better - we think. The people in Hua Hin are very nice and always smiling. If you say no, not interesting to buy, they always accepted a no. You can exchange money a lot of places on the streets, and withdraw from a lot of ATMs. But the max level for withdrawing per card/day is about 10000 THB. Weather in march is OK, 2 days cloudy for a week.

Apart from the hotel, which I can recommend, Hua Hin has great golf courses close by and in comparison with other countries " dead cheap" and some of them are a real chalenge like Former Royal Millor or the Springfield golf club. I experienced the best and the worst caddy over here. The best was no. 284 from Lake View Gulf Club. She was my personal coach for 4,5 hours. Very good and very profesional. Great Caddy. The worst ah what, forget it. Furthermore if you don't like golf, it is a rather quite (boring?) place Hua Hin. But I liked it very much. For families probably the best, Pataya and Phuket are loud and noisy.

Stayed at Hua Hin Marriott Resort And Spa - Hua Hin, Thailand.

We took a private tour of northern Thailand - I highly recommend this. It was amazing. We stayed both in hotels and villages in Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai - I recommend the villages and guesthouses if you want a true feel for the country (although a bit rough, most have no electricity and showers). You really get a feel for the area and how others lived. We ended our trip with 5 days in Hua Hin. We stayed at the Marriott Resort. It was a perfect ending to a perfect vacation!

Played golf at Palm Hills Golf and Country Club 6 times during our stay. Low season and not many others on the course. Good conditions on the course and friendly staff. The Hua Hin Brewing Company Restaurant and bar was excellent (co-located with Hilton) with live music and very good food and beer. The Italian Mamma Mia! restaurant can also be warmly recommended.

Stayed at Hua Hin Blue Wave Beach Resort - Hua Hin, Thailand.
|
The resort offered tours, which I did not use. The resort retaurant was very good, and I ate off the property only once. The free van service was very convenient for visiting Hua Hin and shopping. I came by bus from Bangkok, and the resort will pick you up when it coincides with their van service.

Stayed at Chiva-Som International Health Resort - Hua Hin, Thailand.
|
The Spa is outstanding and the list of treatments is breathtaking - try the flotation tank!! To get the best from this retreat, you need to commit yourself to the Chiva Som way - don't be surprised to see residents in bathrobes at the constantly walking around and even in the restaurant. The food, all calarie/fat counted, is truly natural and delicious - my best memory.
