Team Building in Hua Hin Thailand
Hua Hin as your team building and MICE destination
Situated on the west coast of the Gulf of Thailand and about 200km south of Bangkok, Hua Hin embodies its status as one of the country's favorite beachside destinations by royalty and members of the Thai elite, as well as offering good infrastructure and accommodation.
Hua Hin (Huahin) is a tourist city and famous beach resort in Thailand, located 281 kilometers south of Bangkok. Hua Hin is the oldest beach resort of Thailand. If you enjoy walks through the quiet winding streets of a friendly coastal village, sampling delicious seafood in restaurants overlooking the brightly lit fishing boats on the Gulf of Thailand or a round of golf on one of the several international standard links, Hua Hin could very well be what you’re looking for.
MICE Hotels
A number of splendid resorts can supply all facilities for a meeting or incentive, with vast ballrooms for seminars and delightful gardens for gala dinners.
The surroundings are also very interesting with several national parks, beautiful landscapes, lakes and rivers for eco-adventure activities and caves to arrange original cocktail parties. The nightlife is also very well alive with a great choice of western and Thai restaurants, plus several discotheques and open air bars.
Getting There
Hua Hin and Cha Am are located at only 2 hours and 30 minutes by coach from Bangkok. The seaside resort can also be reached by local train from Ratchaburi after the early morning visit of the floating market "Damnoern Saduak".
Weather in Hua Hin
Hua Hin is fortunate, in as much as it is fairly centrally located and on a narrow peninsula that extends down to Malaysia.
As a result, Hua Hin has three distinctive seasons - as opposed to four that most western countries experience. Thais will refer to these as "cool, dry", "hot" and "rainy". However many a westerner will experience them as "hot", "even hotter" and "hot,rainy"!
Dry season
Roughly speaking the "cool,dry" season is from November-February. At this time of year, nights can get cool and the average temperature is 26 degrees centigrade. There is plenty of sunshine, although it is not as strong as later in the year. Tides are high and it can get windy in the afternoons, although rain is very seldom experienced.
Hot season
The "hot" season extends from March-June. Temperatures can easily reach an average of 29 degrees centigrade, with daytime heat rising to 35 degrees+. Nights are also hot and humidity rises. Tides are not so high, but it can again get windy in the afternoons. Towards the end of this season, it is not unusual to get some showers, but only in the afternoons and lasting generally not longer than an hour or so.
Wet season
The "rainy" season lasts from July-October. However, Hua Hin does not suffer from the monsoon downpours that the north and south get. You can expect temperatures to be at an average of 28 degrees centigrade with the evenings slightly cooler than in the hot season. Mornings can be overcast, but most days brighten up and become hot and humid. Any rain is normally reserved for mid afternoons as cloud cover builds up over the hills in Burma (Myanmar) and when showers occur, they don't last long and are a refreshing respite to the balmy days. Tides are low and the sea is generally calm. |
