Sam Pan Nam Floating Market is a large scale market fashioned in the style of middle Rattanakosin Period (King Rama VI). The market’s vast landscaped grounds encompass a large manmade lake, show islands, mini train track, over 200 shops and 40 boat vendors offering all kinds of food and snacks. Tucked in Soi 112, about 6km south of town centre, Sam Pan Nam is one of the two floating markets found on the same street. Coming from Phetkasem Road, you reach Hua Hin Floating Market first, and Sam Pan Nam is about 1km further on. Both markets embrace a retro theme, with 1920s style architecture and long, wooden boardwalks connecting the shops. Daily cultural shows and boat tours are also offered at both markets. The difference is the size and type of activities available. Hua Hin Floating Market is not as big but has a more sophisticated ambience, while Sam Pan Nam offers a wider range of activities and goods. Designed to reflect Hua Hin’s unique history and architectural heritage, Sam Pan Nam Floating Market adopts the same identity as Hua Hin town. The sign posts, railings, roof tiles, folding doors all evoke an air of 1920s Hua Hin. There’s also a replica train station and a miniature tourist train that runs at the back of the market. Although there’s no actual fishing pier, the lake has a few moored fishing boats where you can climb aboard and take photos. On the front section, red wooden bridges and boardwalks link one island with another, while the lake serves as a venue for boat tours and cultural shows. Shops resemble the shop-house buildings in Hua Hin town, but here they’re only one storey high. There’s a good mix of food, souvenirs and clothing shops – many have branches at nearby Hua Hin Floating Market as well as Pattaya Floating Market. Apart from a handful of snack bars wedged in between retail shops, the food section offers a larger variety of snacks, ready-to-eat meals, grilled meat skewers, seafood, noodles, drinks and desserts.

This cascade is found on the south side of Kaeng Krachan National Park, some 60kms west of Hua Hin. The park is one of the largest in Thailand and sits right next to the Burmese (Myanmar) border. It is a beautiful spot to visit. You will pass through stunning countryside and hills on your drive there that will only take 1.5 hours or so. The waterfall has 16 steps, making it one of the highest in Thailand and those who make it to the top will be rewarded by superb views over Thailand and towards Burma. It should be noted, however, that progressing further than the third stage will be arduous and should only be attempted by those fit enough to do so. The third stage itself has a large, deep pool and most visitors will be happy to spend their time here. The water is always cool and refreshing and there are plenty of large fish swimming in it that are friendly, but please don't try to catch them - you are in a National Park and this is forbidden. The surrounding forest is over 1,000 years old and there is a good chance of seeing wildlife, particularly gibbons (which will certainly be heard, if not seen) and many rare species of bird-life. The falls can be visited at any time of the year, but will be in their prime during and just after the rainy season, between July-November. At all times of year, it is wise to be careful of slippery stones, although the path to the third level is well taken care of and relatively safe. Higher up can get dangerous.

Do you want us to make a dark theme ?

His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej passed away on 13th October 2059 (2016) It was a black day for the thai people and everybody who lives in this amazing country. In honor to the beloved Rama IX i dedicate my first blog entry to him and his regency for almost 71 years.

Hi Community I want to make a start here with this Blog and so i will tell you about my new start in Hua Hin. After 2 years living in pattaya i was completely exhausted, angry, aggressive in a few words i was in areal bad mood. I never lied Pattaya in all the 18 years i come to Thailand and i moved once to this city just bcs i thought about good chances for my business. I was wrong. So i moved in August to Hua Hin, a place which i always liked and felt home. Staying now in HuaDon, a bit outside, 2 mins of a beautiful beach..... and a nice view ino the green...
