The 10 Best Activities & Tours in Hua Hin, Ranked
What strikes me here is how little of this list is actually in Hua Hin proper. Most of it is parks, boardwalks and wildlife centers scattered south and west of town, with a couple of water parks thrown in for anyone traveling with bored kids. Wildlife Friends Foundation leads the list, and the mangrove boardwalk at Pran Buri costs nothing to walk.
