camble Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Really enjoyed the Jazz Festival last night, lasted past 1:30 this morning. Staying at the Centera so I can use their beach chairs to enjoy the music. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark5335 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 The beach in the Soi 67 vicinity is much better (cleaner/more sand) than north of the Hilton. If the place in Soi 67 is decent, and the beach quality is an important factor, then stay where you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Batty Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 The beach is very nice, as always. Lots of wind right now, so you’ll probably see a lot of kite surfers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4MyEgo Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 If you walk around the beach from the north and can get in front of the Hilton it's the best around 5pm to 6pm as they have a bar there and the 2 for 1 drinks are great, you can even order gourmet pizzas, if anyone asks are you staying at the hotel say no I am a guest and my friend will be joining me soon, then when you are done, pay and exit with a smile, guess my friend fell asleep again.

Stargeezr Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 I have stayed at the Navy Hotel there north of the pier. I worried about jelly fish, so I go south of Hua Hin to the military beach across from the 2 statues. I did enjoy the quietness of the area at the north of the pier, but I think the fishing boats and boat activity would attract more jelly fish north of the pier, than some of the beaches south of there. The beaches near monkey mountain were also nice. even the beach to the south of the ferry pier, that you catch the ferry Hua Hin to Pattaya.

O'contraire, I recently have stayed at the Hilton before and when I went down to the beach with my wife around 4.45pm, we decided to go back up the steps and to the beachfront bar for happy hour drinks between 5pm and 6pm as previously mentioned. Security asking if we were staying at the hotel, my reply was; we are guests (which was true) waiting for friends to join us and continued over to the bar for drinks and a pizza. The security guard saw us not 15 minutes earlier walk straight on past him down the steps to the beach, so if he couldn't remember us, and accepted my reply, then I guess the poster could also enjoy himself there without paying to stay at the Hilton. Just having fun with security seeing how far one could push the envelope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaLa Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 I've always found the best beaches in Hua Hi are......in Cha Am. All the way from the airport right up to Chaosamran beach 25 miles North of Cha Am. The 6 Km long beach front road in town itself has a much better Thai 'feel' to it with a great selection of all you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moontang Posted December 7, 2020 Author Share Posted December 7, 2020 Follow up... Cut my stay short by three days...beach doesn't exist north of Hilton, but that was a minor issue. Hot dogs (bunless) and prison food are much too prevalent. Hotel is a three star disgrace. Jomtien wins in every category, and it has its shortcomings.

Stargeezr Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Navy Phi Rom is a nice hotel with a pool and restaurant. It also has rooms close by, for Thais and Military personal, that is cheaper about 550 baht per night. The hotel rates were about 1200 baht per night, with breakfast included. The beach is okay except not much beach at high tide, but that is the same at the Hilton, when the tide is high. The beaches south part of Hua Hin are nicer and cleaner and I did not see any jelly fish. Geezer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
