Discover The Best Photo Spots in Hua Hin

Hua Hin is a photographer's dream, partly because it's a charming coastal town with some of the best photo spots in Thailand. Contrary to other popular beach destinations in Thailand, Hua Hin is more relaxed and home to calm beaches, lively markets, ancient landmarks, and verdant green escapes, making it a popular spot for sightseeing. You could be a professional photographer or just someone who loves snapping photos; Hua Hin is guaranteed to inspire you with its natural beauty and unique attractions.

If you are planning a visit, Holiday Inn Vana Nava Hua Hin is the perfect base, offering easy access to the town’s most iconic photo spots and places to visit. The best part? Some of the best photo spots in Hua Hin are in the hotel itself!

Let’s take a closer look.

1. Wat Huay Mongkol

Wat Huay Mongkol is home to the awe-inspiring statue of Luang Phor Thuad, one of Thailand's most revered monks. This massive sculpture, surrounded by peaceful gardens and serene ponds, exudes a sense of grandeur and spirituality. The peaceful atmosphere is a unique contrast to the striking size of the statue, making it one of the best places for sightseeing and photo opportunities in Hua Hin.

2. Cicada Market

For stunning, colorful shots, check out Cicada Market, a lively evening market filled with unique art installations, handmade crafts, and delectable street food. The glowing lanterns and busy stalls create a magical atmosphere, perfect for night photography. Holiday Inn Vana Nava Hua Hin guests will find this market conveniently accessible via the Nong Kae Train Station, which will open in November 2024 and connects directly to the resort’s back entrance.

3. Khao Takiab (Monkey Mountain)

Khao Takiab, also known as Monkey Mountain, is a must-visit for breathtaking panoramic views of Hua Hin’s coastline and cityscape. The hilltop vantage point is ideal for wide-angle shots, while the playful monkeys along the path are an excellent opportunity for candid wildlife photography.

4. Hua Hin Train Station

Step back in time with a visit to the Hua Hin Train Station, one of Thailand’s oldest and most beautiful railway stations. Popular for its traditional Thai architecture and classic wooden pavilion, this charming landmark is a favorite among photographers who love vintage aesthetics. The station's vibrant red and yellow hues add a pop of color to your travel photos.

5. Vana Nava Water Jungle

If you want to add some fun and excitement to your photography adventure, why not visit one of the best water parks in Hua Hin and in all of Thailand? Vana Nava Water Jungle is South East Asia’s first water jungle park and is also one of the most picturesque ones for great photo shots. Get ready for a super fun time on some of the first and largest water slides in Thailand, like the Abyss™ and Boomerango™. The park is also beautifully decorated and surrounded by a lush landscape - the Vana Nava Waterfall, for instance, is an excellent photo spot for those memorable family photos.

One of the biggest advantages of staying at Holiday Inn Vana Nava Hua Hin is that this water park is right next door to our hotel, and all guests enjoy free access. This provides ample opportunities to explore and photograph these attractions at your own pace.

We have another great piece of news as well: Holiday Inn Vana Nava Hua Hin guests will enjoy convenient access to top attractions like Cicada Market and Khao Takiab, thanks to the new Nong Kae Train Station opening in November 2024. The station connects directly to the resort’s back entrance, making it effortless to explore these popular sightseeing spots in Hua Hin.
