Thailand's oldest beach resort, Hua Hin has been a royal retreat since King Rama VII built the Klai Kangwon Palace here in 1926. The seaside town sits on the Gulf of Thailand, 200km south of Bangkok, and was connected to the capital by rail in 1911. Its charming wooden railway station is one of the most photographed in Southeast Asia.
Nights sit around 26°C and afternoons around 32°C, though some days reach 35°C.
Hua Hin barely changes season: afternoons sit around 32°C and nights around 25°C most of the year.
Rain is spread through the year — about 937 mm in total, from 250 mm in October down to 12 mm in December — so no single month is a washout.
Wind is rarely an issue; most months sit between calm and a light breeze. Air quality is worth watching: January averages an AQI of 83, while August clears to 19.
Daylight is steady all year, around 12.0 hours a day.
For what you're after, the best months in Hua Hin are November – August. Expect fast internet (286 Mbps) and a low cost of living (about €700 a month).
