Hua Hin, from the seafront to the hills

1 of 9 · From the seafront to the hills

Four Hua Hins, from the beach to the hills, and four ways of living there

Hua Hin was born with the Southern railway and became the country's first seaside resort. Today it reads in four movements: the centre, its station and its beach; Khao Takiab, where the sand runs into a rock; to the south, the road to Pranburi; to the west, the hills of Black Mountain. We track 424 developments and 3,997 units for sale there. Their median square metre stands at 46,475 ฿, against 47,774 ฿ across the district.

2 of 9 · The centre and the station

In the centre, the royal town of beach and train, and Hua Hin's most expensive address

The Southern line reached Hua Hin in 1911. Its Victorian-style pavilion, rebuilt in 1926, stands 850 metres from the beach; since 2023, trains stop at a neighbouring elevated station, and the old one is preserved. Facing the sea, the Railway Hotel, now the Centara Grand, opened in 1923 with 14 rooms, and the Klai Kangwon summer palace was completed in 1933. The neighbourhood has 75 developments, the oldest in this story: 2010 at the median. A condominium asks 85,176 ฿ per square metre, a villa 34,044 ฿, and InterContinental Residences Hua Hin, completed in 2021, reaches 318,182 ฿, the highest price in the four neighbourhoods.

3 of 9 · Khao Takiab

In Khao Takiab, where the beach runs into the rock, Hua Hin's most expensive square metre

6.4 km south of the station, a limestone headland pushes into the sea: Khao Takiab, with its temple and its great standing Buddha facing the open water. On either side stretch Khao Takiab beach, some 1.5 km of fine sand, and, further south, Suan Son Pradiphat, shaded by casuarinas. The sub-district has 124 developments, and the median square metre reaches 70,316 ฿, 1.5 times the district median: the highest of the four neighbourhoods.

4 of 9 · Black Mountain and the hills

In the hills, the villa with a view, a short walk from the golf course

8.5 km west of the station, the hills hold the fairways of Black Mountain, which opened its first eighteen holes in 2007 and now has 27. Around it, estates of villas cling to the hills, and 1 international school, Hua Hin International School, has its campus here. 185 developments, 90% of them villas; 92% of units have three bedrooms or more, and buildings are the youngest in this story: 2018 at the median. The median square metre is 41,187 ฿, a unit 8.2 million baht at the median per development, and recent houses cost more: 39,889 ฿ since 2015, against 36,426 ฿ before. Sansara Black Mountain, completed in 2019, reaches 119,759 ฿.

5 of 9 · The road to Pranburi

On the road to Pranburi, the gently priced villa, between fishing village and national park

19.0 km south of the station, Pak Nam Pran keeps its fishing village at the river mouth and a long seafront running south; Racer Marina advertises 80 berths there, and further on begins Khao Sam Roi Yot, the country's first coastal national park, created in 1966. Here, 40 developments, 85% of them villas, and 87% of units have three bedrooms or more.

Bella Costa, completed in 2016 facing the sea, reaches 95,918 ฿.

6 of 9 · Price by neighbourhood

In Hua Hin, price follows the sea: the flat facing the water, the villa inland

Ranked from most to least expensive: Khao Takiab at 70,316 ฿ per square metre, the centre at 47,866 ฿, the hills at 41,187 ฿ and the road to Pranburi at 34,680 ฿, for a district median of 47,774 ฿. The type of home widens the gap: in the centre itself, a condominium asks 85,176 ฿ and a villa 34,044 ฿, a 150% gap. The coastal neighbourhoods sell flats; those inland, houses.

The hospital, the beach, the golf course: each neighbourhood has its distance
