Intercontinental's Hua Hin Resort in Thailand Opens Tomorrow

Where: 33/33 Petchkasem Road, Prachuabkhirikhan, Hua Hin, Thailand, 77110

As of tomorrow, there will be a new Intercontinental resort to choose from in Thailand: the InterContinental Hua Hin Resort.

Hua Hin is about two and a half hours south-west of Bangkok, and being home to the Summer Palace of the Thai royal family gives you a good hint that this is a bit of a beach paradise. The InterContinental Hua Hin is located right on the beach along Petchkasem Road, apparently a famous strip for vacationers.

It has 119 rooms, a bunch of luxurious-sounding suites and three beachfront villas with their own plunge pools. The resort also houses an infinity pool and a beach-side fire pit where you can enjoy a barbecue.

The area around Hua Hin sounds like a quieter alternative to the well-known trails of other Thai destinations like Phuket, but just as beautiful. The local architecture sounds pretty photogenic and there are temples to visit, monks to watch and night markets to shop at.

We did some daydreaming in anticipation of the opening and found there are still rooms available, starting at $154 per night.
