Living
in Hua Hin, Thailand
Hua Hin is located
200km from the South of Bangkok on the East Side of the Malay Peninsula.
The drive from Bangkok to Hua Hin is an easy journey, taking about 2 hours
to 3 hours, tops in heavy traffic. This is one of the many reasons why
many foreigners and locals alike invest in Hua Hin Property due to its
proximity to Bangkok city.
The new highway
is almost 100% completed or one can also take a flight from Bangkok, arriving
in Hua Hin in only 40 minutes.
Hua Hin is much
bigger than one would think. Regular Travel books do not include all the
surrounding villages that are considered part of Hua Hin by most foreigners
living here. Here is a breakdown of the areas:
Bor Fai :
North
of Hua Hin City; and known for its scenic mountain views and amazing sunsets.
Hua Hin Center:
This area is rapidly changing with a major facelift so to speak. New shops,
restaurants and services are opening on a monthly basis. If one enjoys
city living in a country style environment, this is it.
Hua Hin West:
This area is well known for its calm mountainous living surroundings and
Sea Views.
Khao Takiab: This
Quaint Fishing Village is 5km south of Hua Hin's town center. This area
offers many new condominium choices, restaurants, and boutique resorts
on a long stretch of white sandy beach.
Khao Tao: This
area is 10km from the center of Hua Hin and is quickly becoming a major
area for foreigners when it comes to exciting new developments. I especially
like that it has both lakes and the sea.
In the last
few months, we have seen an increase of foreigners moving to Hua Hin, Thailand
as the financial crisis escalates back home for many in the West. The substantially
lower cost of living in Thailand, and the housing offers in Hua Hin are
the main attraction. For a fraction of what it costs in the West, one is
still able to enjoy a comfortable and even luxurious lifestyle in this
beach town.
Many are turning
to renting a home as a temporary option until the dust settles and this
has caused a recent surge in the residential leasing market. In response
to this demand, developments with unsold finished homes are furnishing
and making them available as rentals. This is good news as it offers clients
more choices; and newly furnished homes at reasonable prices.
