Beach activities:
One minute stroll from the house is Khao Takiab beach which is wonderful for swimming, playing and walking. There is horse riding, water sports and massage/manicure services available on the beach. Or if you just want to relax, you can sit at one of the beach cafes for some fresh fish or use the deckchairs provided by various cafes. At one end of the beach is Monkey Mountain which you can climb to find local monkeys. At the other end is Khao Tao a lovely little fishing village. If you like walking early in the morning, going from the house to Khao Tao is wonderful as the beach is wide and expansive with little development the further you walk. You certainly cannot get this experience on Hua Hin beach which is quite narrow and tends to get very busy in the peak season.
Elephant riding and other nearby activities:
Shopping for groceries is very easy as there is a small shop at the corner of the entry road to our street. For bigger shops you can find a huge Tesco in the Shopping Mall located half way between Khao Takiab and Hua Hin town (4km). Of course you can also explore Khao Takiab village which includes ATM machines, locall shops, 7-Eleven, etc. Very close to the house you can find elephant riding and quad-bike riding for those adventurous enough to ride around the dirt tracks. For golf enthusiasts, you can find a range of golf courses nearby. What better way to enjoy your golfing holiday than staying by the beach and heading to the courses when you want to play. My Thai Manager is on hand to help with anything you need. Most house rentals leave you to figure it all out by yourself. We believe in helping you to have the best possible holiday.
Short rides from Hua Hin:
Within easy reach of Hua Hin you can visit a number of attractions such as Pala-U Waterfall, National Parks, Koh Talu Island for snorkelling and the pineapple plantations of Pranburi + lots more. We provide a full range of booklets and maps at the house for your perusal.
Golf:
The diversity of golf courses rivals the Kingdom itself. Hua Hin's Royal Hua Hin Golf Club was Thailand's first course and many of its fairways are lined with huge trees and topiary shrubbery in shapes of animals and Thai mythological creatures. A twenty minute drive west to the base of the mountains brings you to Springfield Royal Country Club, a Jack Nicklaus signature course of 27 holes that has hosted many pro tour events. A few minutes south is Imperial Lake View with 36 holes and the site of the Asian Tour's 2007 Thailand Open. Imagine playing a morning round at Royal Hua Hin then spending a few hours on the beach, followed by an hour and a half rejuvenating spa treatment and you feel so good you want to play another round. It's 2:30, no problem, as Palm Hills is less than 10 minutes from town and you can easily get in a round and watch the sun set into the Gulf of Siam as you finish the back nine. There is still Majestic Creek and Milford Golf Club to enjoy and the drive to these courses take you through the fertile farmlands of pineapples, mango, sugar cane and aloe vera. The Black Mountain, Banyan and Queen's Valley (aspiring to host a European PGA Tour event) golf courses are all under construction and moving towards completion and there are other courses in the planning stages. This once small fishing town has trulytransformed itself into the premier golf destination in Thailand
