Hua Hin is a beach town in the northern part of Thailand which is around 200km away from the city of Bangkok. The city has been closely linked to the royalty of Thailand and there are several royal monuments and memorials that are found in the city. King Prajadhipok who was once a King of Thailand visited the city in the 1920s and decided to build a summer palace in Hua Hin. It was the residence of the king until 2006 where he had to move back to Bangkok because of health issues. There are several other royal palaces and temples in the area which add to the grandeur of the city.
If you want a bird’s of view of all that is in store for you at Hua Hin then go on a hot air balloon ride. Ballooning in this part of the world has become a popular tourist activity since it is a large area which most tourists do not get the opportunity to explore. The balloon rides are available from the time period of December – March. It will be an early start as the hotel transfer takes place at 6am when you will be taken to the launch site. While the crew prepares the balloon ride guests will be served some tea and snacks. The hot air balloon ride lasts for one hour when the crew will take you across the northern peninsula of Thailand and describe the major sites that you encounter.
When you finish the ride you will be offered champagne and breakfast and most hot air balloon rides offer a flight certificate. If you haven’t experienced the excitement of a hot air balloon ride, Hua Hin is the location to launch such a journey. The sunny and windy atmosphere and the taste of the sea on your lips is a feeling you won’t forget. Visitors who want to explore the area should stay at Hua Hin hotels during their vacation. Simply search for a hotel Hua Hin on the internet to find out more about the accommodation options available. A place that can be recommended is Anantara Hua Hin Thailand Resort as they offer luxurious rooms inclusive of all amenities and services.
