Anantasila Villa by The Sea

Anantasila Villa by The Sea is in a lovely location

and the beach is quite lovely

Here is our trip to Hua Hin in 2018...

The summer seaside Palace, often referred to as the 'Palace of love and hope' is located midway between Cha-Am and Hua Hin. It was built in 1923 under the royal command of King Rama VI using golden teakwood from the demolished Hat Chao Samran Palace.

We decided to have something to eat. And have a family photo together.

We walked to the end - where the building meets the sea.

The Palace is made up of three sections connected by long covered walkways. Two long covered corridors connect the Palace with the beach, one from the King’s personal living quarters and one from the women’s section of the Palace.

The views were amazing.

Mrigadayavan Palace Tea Room

Mrigadayavan Palace Tea Room in Hua Hin is the former Summer Palace of King Rama VI (1924).

We have visited more than once and each time

we like to have Afternoon Tea here.

Here's our visit for Mother's Day and here's

some ideas for things to do in Hua Hin.

Ratchaphakdi Park

We came upon Ratchaphakdi Park on

our trip to Hua Hin, and on writing this I

wanted to visit again.

There are seven statues of former Kings of Thailand and they are approximately how much each would weigh I have no idea - I would like to see the building of this place !

The Kings represented here are -

1) King Ramkhamhaeng (reigned 1279-1298)

of the Sukhothai Period

2) King Naresuan (1590-1605)

of the Ayutthaya Period

3) King Narai (1656-1688)

of the Ayutthaya Period

4) King Taksin (1767-1782)

of the Thonburi Period

5) King Rama I (1782-1809)

of the Rattanakosin Period

6) King Mongkut (1851-1868)

of the Rattanakosin Period

7) King Chulalongkorn (1868-1910)

of the Rattanakosin Period.

They were built by the military government after the coup to inspire the loyalty of the people to

the monarchy in Thailand.

Here's something about

it being built.

We even had a Cape Panwa Hotel teddy bear in the car! I have since read that it is best to visit in the early morning because of the sun rising and then in the early evening because they are lit up!

Khao Ta-Kiab Beach - Visit 2

Khao Ta-Kiab is a wonderful place to visit and we have visited more than once.

Remember to get up early to see the monks

walking along the beach.

And the sun begin to rise.

The fishermen leave early.

It is a popular place for people to have dinner - until very late and late enough

for it not to be cleaned up before the next day.

My daughter enjoys riding the horses.

And in the distance there is a

Wat จุดชมวิวเขาตะเกียบ to visit.

Khao Ta-Kiab Beach (@HuaHin)

Khao Ta-Kiab Beach is the beach we must visit when we visit Hua Hin and we usually stay at Anantasila Villa by the Sea.

Khao Ta-Kiab beach is a long stretch of beach which is still largely un-spoilt.
