Hua Hin Travel: Plus Chaam & Pranburi
Hua hin is the biggest of the three towns and easily accessible at only three hours drive south of Bangkok. The town itself is laid back but by no means boring; good swimming beaches, water sports, golf courses, historical sites, national parks and shopping are all available to keep your days filled. There’s also some nightlife but not quite as over the top as Pattaya, making Hua Hin suitable for families and travelers in general. And it’s ideal for those who don’t want to make the long (and expensive) journey to Phukey or Koh Samui.
You don’t need to travel all the way to the south of Thailand to find wonderful tropical beaches and resort-style accommodations. With a short distance from Bangkok, the beachside town of Hua Hin, Chaam and Pranburi on the northwest coast of Thailand make an ideal short escape from Bangkok or are equally suited as longer tropical of holiday destinations. Cool weather year round makes Hua Hin, Cha-am and Pranburi more enjoyable than Bangkok. Now we’re in the middle of summer and while the temperatures in Bangkok and the North are near boiling the beaches here still average a pleasant 30 degrees Celsius during the daytime.
Once a sleepy fishing village, Hua Hin started to become better known in the 1920s when it was linked to Bangkok by rail. It developed into a popular retreat for the Royal family and, nowadays, the King himself resides at the summer palace there. (Due to its proximity to Bangkok and popularity with the Monarchy, many wealthier Bangkok Thais now have condominiums along this stretch of coast.)
Hua Hin literally means “rock head” but don’t let the name fool you a few smooth boulders are scattered along the beach but the seabed itself is all sand and safe for swimming. The town is developed but still compact making it easy to walk around, and it has retained its casual beachside feel. You’ll find all major amenities including accommodation to suit every budget, from cheapies in town to big name resort operations on the beach.
The famous Hua Hua hin Railway Hotel was built near the beach here in 1923. The magnificent two-storey colonial building has been beautifully restored and is now operated by Sofitel Central Hua Hin Resort. To the north, the Hilton Hotel was the first high rise hotel in town, while Marriot Resort and Spa is located along the southern beach.
Down on the beach in front of the Hilton, deck chairs and umbrellas provide a place to relax and vendors sell all kinds of things from snacks to grilled prawn. Along the beach you can get a Thai massage or even ride a horse.
If you love seafood then you’ll love Hua Hin. There still fishermen operating from fishing Pier who land the catch of the day which is cooked to order and served fresh to your table at any of the waterfront seafood restaurants. You’ll never find seafood this fresh and at these low prices elsewhere. As well as seafood, plenty of international restaurants line the streets, some with live entertainment. There are also a few beer bars but the atmosphere here is pretty relaxed.
While the township can easily be explored on foot some of the other attractions will require transportation. A car is always handy, but those without have a choices of day excursions which take in all the major sights, including natural attractions like Khao Sam Roi Yot (Three Hundred Peaks) National Park with its magnificent views of the Gulf of Thailand and caves to explore. Just to the south of Hua Hin, Khao Takiab Temple is located on a rocky hill with good views of Ao Takiab (Chopsticks Bay) where more beaches and resorts are located. You can also visit other beaches along this coastiline. Waterfalls and the kids will enjoy Hua Hin Zoo.
The other two beaches are renowned; Pranburi is rather new to the scene. Located 30 kilometers south of Hua Hin, this stretch of sand used to be visited just as a day trip, but now has a number of boutique-style resort operations of its own. It’s much quieter than its northern neighbors, but still easily accessible to Hua Hin for those after a bit of action many of the resorts offer free transportation services to Hua Hin for this purpose.
How To Get To HuaHin:
From Suvanabhumi international Airport in Bangkok, You can take minivans and taxis to take you to Hua Hin, be careful for too expensive price. For those in a hurry, there are fights ran by SGA Airlines 3 times a day everyday. Minivans also operate from near Victory Monument BTS Station in Bangkok (Taxi fare to get to Victory Monument could be 250 baht), or air-conditioned buses leaves nearly every hour from the New Southern Bus Terminal to Cha-am, Hua Hin and Pranburi town.
When you get Hua Hin city you can get around easily by feet. However, many of the attractions outside of town will need some kind of transportation. There would be tuk tuks, motorcycle taxis, songthaews and taxis; you usually have to negotiate the rate before you get in, try to lower your fare as much as possible, driver always overcharge a tourists. Better plan your trip before you go out, otherwise you won’t make it on time due to Hua Hin has many attractions to visit.

Introduction to the Largest Rivers in Thailand
Introduction to the Largest Rivers in Thailand
When you think of Thailand the first thing that springs to mind probably isn't rivers. Thailand is famous for its culture but we actually don't realize how many rivers there are to visit in the country. In fact there are many rivers in Thailand and these are well worth checking out if you are holidaying in the country.
Chao Phraya River System
This is the main river system of Thailand and probably the most famous. At 372km long it flows to the Gulf Of Thailand from the central plains of Bangkok. The start of the river is at the exact point where the Ping and Nan rivers meet (Nakhon Sawan)
Once it reaches the town of Chainat it splits into two flows. One of these flows (The Tha Chin) flows parallel to the main river before exiting to the Golf of Thailand just west of Samut Sakhon.
Other River Systems
The Chao Phraya river system is the most famous however there are many other rivers that flow through out Thailand.
These include:
Bang Pakong - This is a river in eastern Thailand. It starts at the point where the Prachiniburi River and the Nakhon Nayok River meet. It flows into the gulf Thailand just north east of the Bay of Bangkok.
Phetchaburi - This river originates in the Kaeng Krachan National Park(western Thailand) and flows right through to the Ban Lat, Tha Yang and Mueang Phetchaburi. At 210km long it then mouths into the Bay of Bangkok
Mae Klong - Another river in Western Thailand. This river starts at the part where the Khwae Noil and the Khwae Yai River meet. It flows into the Gulf of Thailand at Sumat Songkram but not before passing the Ratchaburi Province.
Pran Buri - This starts in southern area of the Kaeng Krachan National Park in the Malay Peninsula. In total it is 130km long; however despite its length it only passes is the Pranburi in the centre of the Pranburi district.
Khlong Kui - This river flows through a number districts including - Ban Pong Kasang, Kui Buri, Bang Thung Faek and Prachuap Khiri Khan
Pattani - This is the longest river in the Malay Peninsula, 214km length in total.
These are just some of the most famous and longest rivers in Thailand. Many of these are picturesque and great to take tourists trips to if you are looking for something different from your holiday
Are They Easy To Get Too?
They are separated throughout the vast country so it depends on which one(s) you want to visit. Try and ask your travel agent for advice before you go. They should be able to advice which ones are in your local area and suggest which ones would be best to visit. If they are not able to help then the tourist guide in your hotel certainly will. Many of the rivers have tourist attractions, river rides etc so they will be easy to find.

A Perfect Weekend Getaway at Hua Hin Beach
A Perfect Weekend Getaway at Hua Hin Beach
Just over two hours away from central Bangkok and Suvarnabhumi International Airport is the seaside resort area of Hua Hin beach. Popularised by Thai royalty in the 1920s, it became Thailand's first beach resort area. Now, its proximity to Bangkok and great variety of accommodation, attractions and beaches make Hua Hin beach a perfect spot for a quick but relaxing weekend getaway in Thailand.
Accommodation in the area can fit any budget range. From the simplest guest house to the most luxurious Hua Hin beach resort, there is something for everyone here. Recently, boutique-style resorts have become very popular with both Thai and international tourists. This kind of beach resort generally has many of the amenities of the bigger international chains as well as local design details and charm in an intimate setting. For example, the Anantara Hua Hin Resort & Spa is modelled after a traditional Thai village, while still containing a luxurious spa and two infinity-edge pools. Even though the beach area is so close to Bangkok, in places like Anantara, it is easy to feel that you have left the city behind you.
Apart from the shoreline in front of your beach resort, there are many beaches to explore in the area. The namesake beach boasts intriguing rock formations that give its name ("hua hin" means "head stone"), as well as the best sunrises for miles around. Neighboring Khao Takiab, seven kilometres to the south, includes a sea-facing 20-metre high Buddha statue, showing the way to a picturesque view of the bay and surrounding area. Just a bit further south of Khao Takiab is Suan Son, a Hua Hin beach known for its thickets of casuarina pine trees that line the shore's sand. Further afield - but worth the trip - are Pranburi and Cha-am, two resort areas known for stylish accommodation and quieter beaches: perfect for a weekend getaway.
Once at the Hua Hin beach of your choice, what should you do? Fortunately, Hua Hin does not disappoint when it comes to recreation and attractions. While sunning yourself on the sand is always an appealing option, there are plenty of other activities for those who want to be more adventurous or active. Horse or elephant rides are perennially popular diversions and can be found at almost every beach. Of course, water sports are also crowd-pleasers - learn to wind-surf or kite-board one afternoon or explore the coastline from a sea kayak. If you prefer to remain on terra firma, the area abounds in world-class golf courses at which your beach resort can arrange for you to play, for nine or 18 holes.
After a day spent hitting the links or exploring the world underwater, you might need a relaxing massage or facial treatment to soothe skin exposed to too much sun. Luckily, Hua Hin is renowned as a centre for some of Thailand's best spas, and it is easy to while away a Sunday afternoon with relaxing and rejuvenating treatments. After the spa, indulge in another form of therapy - shopping. The famous Hua Hin nightmarket is filled with fun goodies and great bargains. Post-shopping, treat yourself to some of the best seafood Thailand has to offer, brought in fresh daily by local fishermen. A weekend getaway at a Hua Hin beach would not be complete without the local seafood buffets along Naresdamri Road.

Going for a Ramble on Dartmoor
Going for a Ramble on Dartmoor
When people visit England, they usually spend a lot of time in London, perhaps visit the ancient University towns of Oxford and Cambridge, with maybe a visit to Shakespeare's birthplace at Stratford on Avon. They may also go to Stonehenge and perhaps take in a few stately homes, but almost never go to Devon and take a walk or a hike on Dartmoor which is a great pity.
Devon is a lovely county, possibly underrated by those who don't live there, and somehow the 365 square miles of moorland bog, granite, and heather that is the Moor comes as somewhat of a shock. To many Dartmoor simply means the forbidding prison, even the adventures of Sherlock Holmes and the Hound of the Baskervilles, and of course Dartmoor is neither of these things, but there is an inevitable shiver that runs down the spine when the vastness of the moor becomes apparent.
So why on earth choose to go to Dartmoor in the first place. The answer is really quite simple, and that it is a great place to just get away from it all, distress, and empty the brain of all the 21st century worries that are cluttering it up. The sheer vastness of the place will soon set you free, and all you really need are some sensible clothes and a good pair of walking boots. As well as that, leave your mobile phone behind, you definitely don't need it here.
The views and sights you will see of colourful gorse, purple heather on the moor, and a light that is somehow different, almost as if a mist is expected at any time. Go if you can in the winter because Dartmoor under snow, and lit by a winter sun is unlike anything you will see anywhere else.
There are good places to stay, and the incredible thing is that literally minutes away you are transported back to bare moorland, a granite tors, as if places like Holne and Buckland in the Moor never existed. The silence is something else to be appreciated after the hustle and bustle of town and city life.
There is a history, and ancient history to Dartmoor, right back to the bronze and iron age. In fact to really appreciate Dartmoor, what you should do is to visit with a knowledgeable guide, because without such a person you will never do justice to such a wonderful and wild place.

Pranburi General Information Guide
Pran Buri or Pranburi (Thai : ปราณบุรี) is a district (amphoe) in the northern part of Prachuap Khiri Khan Province, central Thailand.History
Mueang Pran was a city in the southern cities group of Ayutthaya kingdom. In the reign of King Mongkut (Rama IV), the governor of Mueang Pran had full authorised administrative. In 1906 King Chulalongkorn (Rama V) merged Mueang Pran, Mueang Kamnoed Nopphakhun and Mueang Prachuap to a new Mueang Pran Buri and located the city hall at Tambon Ko Lak, now in Amphoe Mueang Prachuap Khiri Khan. In 1915 to prevent confusion between the cities' names, King Vajiravudh (Rama VI) changed the name of the province from Pran Buri to Prachuap Khiri Khan, as its center was at the same place as the former Mueang Prachuap. This also kept the name of the town and the Pran Buri river together.
Geography
Neighboring districts are Hua Hin to the north and Sam Roi Yot to the south. To the west is the Tanintharyi Division of Myanmar, to the east the Gulf of Thailand.
The main water resource of the district is the Pran Buri River. The mangrove forest at the mouth of the river to the gulf of Thailand is protected as the Pran Buri Forest Park. The beaches of the district are a popular touristic place, still less crowded than those of nearby Hua Hin.
Administration
The district is subdivided into 6 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 44 villages (muban). There are two townships (thesaban tambon) - Pran Buri covering parts of the tambon Pran Buri, Khao Noi and Nong Ta Taem and Pak Nam Pran covering parts of the same-named tambon.
- Pran Buri
- Khao Noi
- Pak Nam Pran
- Nong Ta Taem
- Wang Phong
