ARTS & CULTURE

We’re not going to lie: There are difficulties associated with a visit to Hua Hin or Cha Am. One is having to eventually leave. The other is figuring out what to do when you get here. There are so many choices, especially when it comes to the area’s cultural attractions. Chief among them:

Hua Hin Jazz Festival, a celebration of international music produced by acclaimed artists and held every June.

Kao Takiap Temple, a headland with a Buddhist temple clinging to the cliffs just three kilometers south of Hua Hin.

Wildlife Friends Foundation Thailand, where Edwin Wiek leads hands-on animal rescue projects.

Hua Hin Night Market, a haven of mouthwatering Thai street food and local handicrafts.

Hua Hin Food Festival, a week-long showcase in November of exciting events and flavorful foods.
