In-Depth Information
(13km south of Hua Hin)
A barely inhabited beach stretches several kilometres
south from Khao Takiab to Khao Tao (Turtle Mountain). It is blissfully free of civiliza-
tion: there are no high rises, no beach chairs, no sarong sellers and no horseback
riders.
Activities
Hua Hin is an ideal kiteboarding spot: it has a long, consistent windy season. It's
also home to the country's first golf course, and continues to be an international and
domestic golfing destination.
