Hua Hin became popular as a rainy season retreat in the 1920’s with the construction of the railway line from Bangkok. The beautiful, colonial style Railway Hotel was built near Hua Hin’s famous rocks in 1923 by the State Railway Authority, which also built Thailand’s first public golf course in Hua Hin in 1924. In 1926, King Rama VII built the Klai Kangwon Palace on the beach a few km north of the Railway Hotel and this palace is still frequently used by the Royal Family.

RE: Travel: Thailand - Phuket
Hello all,
I am going to be on holiday in Phuket next month. Can anybody who stayed there before recommend a good 4 or 5 star Hotel in Phuket? I don’t have any preference for the area in Phuket but the hotel is the most important factor for me.
Thanks a lot,

RE: Travel: Thailand - Koh Samui
The best time to visit Koh Samui is between December and February. The temperatures at this time hover at 30 degree C, which is the coolest it will get. There may be a burst of tropical rain in December. Carry sun-protection, hats and cotton clothes.
Thanks a lot,
