Who this trip suits
Hua Hin has been a royal resort town for a century, and golf has been part of it from the start. The modern draw is a cluster of hill courses west of town led by Black Mountain and Pineapple Valley, balanced by the gentle, historic Royal Hua Hin beside the railway. Caddies come with every group and the welcome is famously warm.
The town itself is relaxed and walkable, with night markets, beachfront seafood and good value hotels rather than the intensity of the bigger Thai resorts. It is an easy long weekend from Bangkok and a comfortable week for a group that wants quality golf without resort prices. It suits a buddies trip, a society tour or any golfer chasing winter sun and a strong exchange rate.

A sample five night structure
Day one, transfer from Bangkok and settle into central Hua Hin. Day two, Black Mountain in the hills west of town. Day three, Pineapple Valley among the plantations, then the night market. Day four, a rest day for the beach and a massage. Day five, the historic Royal Hua Hin beside the railway before heading home.
When to go
November to February is the cool, dry season and the time to come, with warm days and low humidity. March to May is hot; the green season from June brings afternoon showers but the lowest rates. Tee times are easy to secure outside the peak holiday weeks.
