The 9 Best Temples & Cultural Sites in Hua Hin, Ranked
Cave temples run this list, four of them, plus a couple of royal palaces and a memorial park, and most sit well outside Hua Hin proper in Phetchaburi or Sam Roi Yot. Phraya Nakhon Cave is the one I'd build a day around, since it tops the ratings and you earn it with a proper hike.
