For those who want to go to the beach near Bangkok, Pattaya and Hua Hin are both very good vacation destinations~ located on the east and west sides of Bangkok, respectively, and can be reached by a two-hour drive. Both are seaside resort cities~ Pattaya's beaches are very open and popular, and anyone can easily play on the beach, especially when taking a taxi or tuk-tuk to Pattaya Beach Road, where there is an endless sea and coconut trees on the right, and countless bars, restaurants and hotels on the left. Hua Hin is a completely different form~ Hua Hin has a very long coastline, but it does not have the mass commercialization that is closely connected to the beach like Pattaya. There is no road next to the beach, but there are countless luxury resorts and private villas. As a favorite vacation destination for island owners, today we recommend some hotels in Pattaya and Hua Hin:
