After spending time in Thailand’s most decadent city, you might be ready for something a little more laid-back, and that’s exactly what Hua Hin offers.

What to see when traveling from Pattaya to Hua Hin
The vistas and views offered on your trip to Hua Hin from Pattaya depend upon whether you travel by road or sea.
If you travel by road, the trip isn’t anything exciting, but it’s very comfortable and simple.

This part of Thailand is incredibly well-developed, so the journey is largely comfortable, but not the most interesting of jaunts along wide highways.
If you choose to travel by ferry from Pattaya to Hua Hin, the journey is way more beautiful. By ferry, you’ll enjoy deep-blue seas, fantastic views and distant sights of idyllic islands. You’ll also get to experience two of Thailand’s busy piers, which can be an adventure in itself.
