Why go, and how to do it well

Hua Hin's resort strip gets tiring after a few days, and this is the antidote, a working forest park in Cha-am with trails through real woodland rather than landscaped gardens. The higher sections open out to views over the surrounding country, and there's wildlife about, birds and monkeys mostly, though nothing is staged for you. It's low-key and not especially developed, which is the appeal.

You can treat it as an hour's shaded stroll or stretch it into most of a day, depending on how much walking you fancy. It works well for families and for anyone traveling independently who wants a change from the beach. Wear proper shoes rather than sandals, because the ground is uneven in places, and carry more water than you think you need. The humidity doesn't let up whatever the month.
