Fishing Port

Like many holiday places, Hua Hin grew out of a fishing village (the name means 'stone head' from the smooth boulders studding the beach). Siam's Southern railroad connected it to Bangkok in 1903 and it then grew as first a destination for Thais, then later foreigners. A wedding yesterday on the waterfront, with a reception in the hotel grounds underlined the draw of the place internationally.
