It’s not
a bad idea to start from historic place- Hua Hin Railway station, where
you can touch a feeling of Hua Hin in1920s, when most people arrived and
left this beach resort by train. This is a nice place to take a picture
for your memory about Hua Hin.
Walk straight
to the east on Damneonkasem Rd., Pon Kingpetch (1st Thai boxing who won
the World Boxing Champion) statue stands on the right side. Across the
main Street-Petchkasem Rd., pass the Post office you will find many of
nice restaurants in European style especially Italian. Go furthermore
to very end of the road; you will enter another symbolic place of Hua
Hin- Sofitel Central Hotel (1st hotel built in Hua Hin), where its landscape
is unique by formed tree. Take some time relax at the Museum Café in the
beautiful colonial architecture. (Suggest walking in from the side and
outing at the main entrance.)
Now, You
are on The Naresdamri Rd.- the dining and shopping district for Hua Hin.
From the front of Sofitel Central’s main entrance, keep going on north,
Hilton hotel seems to be a Landmark for Hua Hin already since more than
10 years ago (nice viewpoint on the 17th floor). Just follow the light,
many kinds of restaurants, tailors, and souvenir shops along both side
the road well describe why some people name this path “the Golden Mile”.
As you pass Hilton, small alley on the right will lead you to the terrace
by the sea- another observation deck at the heart of Hua Hin.
All the way
to the end, Fishing Pier is another spot that you could see Hua Hin in
a wide skyline panorama. Coming in a right time, and you will see the
nature sun beautifully set down behind the hill.
Back to
Dechanuchit road, which leads you to the famous Hua Hin night market,
where you could feel and touch the ordinary Thai way of life.
Approximate
time spending: 2 hrs.
You may find a nice place for you dinner during your leisure trip.
After a walk
at Night Market, other choices of optional routes are available with some
scattering retail stores along. Also, nightlife area is just a short distance
away.
