Aparthotels & serviced apartments in Hua Hin

14 stays · 12 aparthotels and 2 serviced apartments

Hua Hin was Thailand's first beach resort, and aparthotels and serviced apartments suit the way many people use it: as a base for a week, a month or a whole season by the Gulf of Thailand. A kitchen and separate living space help families and anyone staying longer, while the town's night markets and restaurants mean you never have to cook every evening.

Where to stay in Hua Hin

Town centre and Night Market

  • first-time visitors
  • dining
  • no car

The grid of streets around the Night Market on Dechanuchit Road and the clock tower on Phetkasem Road is the busiest part of town. Minivans to the south stop at the clock tower, and green songthaews pass along Phetkasem Road. It is the easiest base if you will not be driving.

Hua Hin Beach

  • beach
  • couples
  • families

Hua Hin Beach is a six-kilometre strip of fine white sand running south from the town centre to a headland with a Buddhist temple, lined with resort hotels. Some beach entrances are controlled by hotels, so check how to reach the sand.

Khao Takiab

  • quieter stays
  • markets
  • views

About 8 km south of the centre, Khao Takiab is a hill crowned by Buddhist temples at the southern end of the main beach. The Cicada Market, with crafts, artists' work and food stalls on Friday to Sunday evenings, is on the road towards it. Nong Kae railway station is the closest stop on the line.

Khao Tao

  • long stays
  • peace and quiet
  • beach

Further south, about 13 km from Hua Hin, Khao Tao has two beaches, Hat Sai Noi and Hat Sai Yai, and its own railway station. It lies off the main road along a short branch, so it suits anyone with a car or scooter.

Cha-am

  • quieter stays
  • families
  • beach

North of Hua Hin, Cha-am is a small, quieter beach town on Narathip Road between its train station and the sea. The Mrigadayavan Palace, a 1922 royal summer residence of teak houses on stilts, is nearby. Songthaews, taxis and buses along Phetkasem Road link it with Hua Hin.

Getting around Hua Hin

Most visitors arrive by road or rail from Bangkok. Trains on the State Railway of Thailand's Southern Line run from Krung Thep Aphiwat Central Terminal to Hua Hin, where a new elevated station opened in December 2023; the former station building, rebuilt in the 1920s, is being preserved as a historic building. Buses and minivans also run from Bangkok, and the trip takes around three to four hours by either. Hua Hin Airport has a limited schedule, with AirAsia flying to Chiang Mai, and the Tourism Authority of Thailand is promoting it as a gateway to the region.

Within town, green songthaews (shared pick-up trucks) run up and down Phetkasem Road at frequent intervals, which covers the centre, the beach hotels and Khao Takiab. Motorcycle taxis and tuk-tuks are available but agree the fare first. Scooters and bicycles can be hired, and a car or scooter makes life easier if you stay in Khao Tao or Cha-am. Wikivoyage notes that Hua Hin has few places to stroll outside the beach and a few central blocks, so expect to use a songthaew or taxi for longer hops.

Living in Hua Hin for longer

Hua Hin's markets cover a lot of daily shopping and eating: the Night Market on Dechanuchit Road is the central one, and the Cicada Market on the road to Khao Takiab opens on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings with food, crafts and shows in its amphitheatre. The town also has Hua Hin Hospital, the largest hospital in Prachuap Khiri Khan province, which is reassuring for a longer stay.

For an extended stay, choose your base by how you will move around. The town centre works without a vehicle thanks to the songthaews, while the southern beaches are better with your own transport.

When to visit Hua Hin

Hua Hin has a tropical savanna climate, warm to hot all year with little variation. The dry season runs from December to April, the monsoon arrives in May, rains ease somewhat from June to August, and the heaviest rain falls from September to November. The cool season from November to February is the most comfortable time to visit, while March to May can be very hot.

The resort grew up around the southern railway in the 1920s, when royal palaces and a railway hotel were built beside the beach, and it still has a royal summer palace, Klai Kangwon. It lies about 199 km by road south-southwest of Bangkok, close enough for a weekend but far enough to feel like a separate world. Explore more of Thailand for other beach and city bases.
