whats on in paradise city ...
As Hua Hin has grown over the years, so it has spawned a variety of events and these are sure to grow in number and popularity in the future.
If you're lucky enough to be in town at the right time, you may find yourself getting extremely wet, floating candle laden contraptions down canals and into the sea, dancing to jazz music or viewing vintage cars.
Some events are particular to Hua Hin and now attracting international attention, whereas others are festivals celebrated nationwide. We hope that the following information will help you choose the best time for your visit to Hua Hin. Bear in mind that town can get extremely busy at certain times of year and particularly if that co-incides with a big event. In these instances, accommodation can be difficult to find, so try to plan ahead.
Take a look at the Hua Hin Municipality events page for more happenings in Hua Hin.
