From October to January wind speeds typically fall between 15 and 25 knots, which is perfect for kite surfers. Those who have never tried this activity before will be pleased to discover that learning it is not difficult.

Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park

Its name means the “Three Hundred Peaks”, which refers to the limestone mountains that pepper the area. Here you will find a green, lush paradise filled with trails, caves, marshes and protected beaches.

Bicycle and Motorbike Rental

Renting a bicycle or motorbike and exploring the surrounding scenery at their own pace. In most cases, a bicycle can be rented for only 100 baht per day, and motorbike rentals can be found for just a little bit more. Some visitors pack a homemade lunch and ride until they find an appealing area in which to have a picnic.

Wine Tasting Tours

You would not have thought of vineyards in Thailand, but there is a guided tour of the Hua Hin Hills Vineyard. Wine-tasting sessions and explanations of how various wines are made appeal to many Pranburi visitors. The majority of vineyards are located about 45 kilometres west of Hua Hin and tours leave from various resorts and establishments in the area.

Beautiful scenery and delicious food and wines are characteristics of such tours, and excursions of this type are worth a try.

Hua Hin Night Market

Vendors set up colourful stalls and are more than willing to bargain with visitors and the latter will find plenty of shopping opportunities and interesting gifts to bring back for friends and family. Some of the area’s best seafood establishments are also found in the market area and nothing less than superb dining should be expected by guests.
