Historical Hua Hin
Back in the year 1834 before the name Hua Hin was created, some agricultural areas of the Phetchaburi Province was hit by a severe drought. A group of farmers had to move southwards until they found a small village which had  white bright sandy beaches and a row of rocks along the beach. They settled in the place and gave it a name Samore Riang which means rows of rock.
 
In 1921 the director of the state railway, Prince Purachatra, built the Railway Hotel close to the beach. King Prajadhipok (Rama VII) liked the place so much he built a summer palace there . The palace was named Wang Klai Kang Won (’Far from Worries’) is now the full-time residence of His Majesty the King of Thailand.

His Royal Highness Prince Krom Phra Naresworarit who was the first member of the royal family to build a group of palaces at Ban Laem Hin called Sukaves and he gave the name of the beach next to his palace Hua Hin, (Rocky Head).

In the year 1932 Hua Hin was part of the Pran Buri district. Until the year 1949 Hua Hin was promoted to be in the district of the Prachuap Khiri Khan province. After the building of southern route railway Hua Hin became the first and most popular beach resort of Thailand.
