Beyond the Lobby: Inside the Secrets of Hua Hin

BK Magazine’s Beyond the Lobby heads to Hua Hin’s, where Warisa ‘Natty’ Neranartkomol continues the series with Hilton Hua Hin Resort and Spa’’s assistant front office manager Jantima “Nook” Buamark. 

Khun Nook first points us to Wat Khao Takiab, perhaps more commonly known as “Chopstick Hill”, for striking Buddha statues and sweeping coastline views as well as small cafes and restaurants. Keep on the lookout for the playful monkeys. 

For you foodies out there, one can’t-miss, according to Khun Nook, is the Cicada Market, where you’ll find plenty of shopping of handmade local goods to go with your traditional Thai street food and live music.

For your ideal 24-hour stay at Hilton Hua Hin Resort and Spa’s, just wake up and hit the beach and then move on to the Gingerfire restaurant for international treats. Then, it’s off to Khao Takiab for some seafood, before heading back to rest at the pool and hit the spa. 

For your nighttime fun, Khun Nook recommends the Hua Hin Railway Station for some charming culture before hitting up the local night market, one of the liveliest of its kind in Thailand, and a good Mediterranean meal at the romantic Chay Had. To top it all off, head to the rooftop for drinks for views above the city.
