Top 5 Things to Do in Hua Hin This Summer

Splash Around at Vana Nava Water Jungle

Summer can get super hot in South East Asia and one of the best things to do is to cool off at a water park in Hua Hin, Thailand. Head to Vana Nava Water Jungle, the first-ever water jungle in Asia and one of the largest water parks in the region. Featuring thrilling rides such as the Abyss, a massive funnel slide, and the Boomerango, which blasts you up a vertical wall at high speed before dropping you back down with a splash, this park is a thrill-seeker's paradise.

If you're up for something more laid-back, you can float along the lazy river, frolic in the wave pool, or let the kids explore the splash zones suitable for children. It's a great spot for families, groups of friends, or anyone looking to escape the heat with some serious fun amidst the tropical greenery.

Relax at Hua Hin Beach

Nothing screams summer like a day at the beach! Hua Hin Beach is renowned for its golden sand and gentle, shallow waters, so it's an ideal place to relax. Whether you need to sunbathe, enjoy a cooling swim, or simply enjoy the ocean breeze, this beach provides a serene escape from urban mayhem.

If you would like to incorporate a bit more adventure into your day at the beach, horse riding along the beach is a popular activity, and it's a great way to check out the views. You can even pick up some fresh seafood from street vendors in the area for a tasty snack while you enjoy the ocean views. Hua Hin Beach is also easily accessible via train with a connecting gate right behind Holiday Inn Vana Nava Hua Hin hotel.

Cicada Market

If a combination of arts, culture, and food sounds like your kind of scene, Cicada Market is the place to visit. Open only on weekends, this busy market is not your standard shopping complex - it’s a haven for creatives with local artists selling handmade items, quirky souvenirs, and stunning paintings.

To reach Cicada Market, head to the connecting gate to the train station behind Holiday Inn Vana Nava Hua Hin Hotel for easy access. While exploring the market, you'll be entertained by live music performances, street artists performing their craft, and lots of tasty food stalls offering Thai and international cuisine. The welcoming atmosphere and open-air setting also make it an ideal destination to enjoy a relaxed evening window shopping for quirky souvenirs to bring home.

Visit Hua Hin Night Market

No trip to Hua Hin would be complete without stopping by the Hua Hin Night Market. This busy market really gets going in the evening with lines of food stalls offering up everything from grilled seafood to mango sticky rice.

In addition to the amazing food, you'll also find handmade crafts, souvenirs, and local products that make for great gifts. Exploring this market is one of the best things to do in Hua Hin and the perfect place to experience summer in Thailand like a local.

Visit Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park

For nature lovers, Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park is a must-see. The scenic park features high limestone mountains, caves, and mangrove forests, and there is plenty of scope for exploration. A highlight here is the Phraya Nakhon Cave, a massive cave containing a golden pavilion lit by a single shaft of natural light in a way that seems almost mystical. You can walk to the cave via a scenic hiking trail or take a boat to the trailhead for a more leisurely experience. Either way, the scenery is well worth the effort!
