Tourist Spots

One of the oldest railway stations in southern Thailand, its most striking feature is the classical Thai style Royal Waiting Room, built during the reign of King Rama VI to welcome royal visitors to Hua Hin. Just across from the station is the Royal Hua Hin Golf Course, the first golf course in Thailand opened in 1924. The station is not too busy and very informal. If you feel like taking a look around, just wander in — no one will stop you or ask for a ticket!
