Businesses and food vendors whose stalls
illegally impeded on the beach, were ordered to cease trading and take
down their work-places so as to improve the look of Hua Hin and to
ensure fair pricing. Businesses on the nearby Takiap and Hua Don Beaches
have also started clearing away their stalls.
Officials and city cleaners helped with
the clean-up and the vendors were assigned new areas to
conduct business a little further away from the main beach. All vendors
will now have to follow strict guidelines regarding cleanliness, hygiene
and pricing.
These beach clean-ups have been arranged
by the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) to improve the image
of Thailand and to ensure that all travellers enjoy hassle-free fun when
visiting the kingdom’s attractions.
The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT)
lauds the move as being great news for Hua Hin, a sleepy town that is
the epitome of a Thai seaside resort and for decades has attracted
tourists seeking family fun.
TAT Governor Mr. Thawatchai Arunyik, said
“Now that international travellers have discovered its charms, we need
this clean-up to return Hua Hin Beach to its pristine state and reassure
visitors that they can enjoy it without hindrance. The so many new
attractions and activities to be found around Hua Hin make this seaside
resort the perfect place for a few days of peaceful fun.”
Hua Hin has long been Bangkok’s weekend
retreat and a home-from-home for the Royal Family. Now that the town is
known internationally, many new attractions and annual festivals have
opened up in the area.
As well as the annual Jazz Festival which is fast becoming an international fixture for music lovers, Hua Hin boasts the Cicada Market, which attracts artists and creative people selling unique wares; the Sam Phan Nam Floating Market which recreates the feel of a traditional Siamese market with shops and atmospheric shows, and the charming Hua Hin Hills Vineyard which
takes advantage of the ideal climatic conditions around the region to
grow increasingly appreciated world-class wines and offer educational
tours to visitors.
In addition, there are many world-class hotels in the small town that boast the best of Thai hospitality and chic modern luxury living. Later this year, Thailand’s Proud Real Estate Company Limited has scheduled to open the first water jungle theme park in Asia; namely, Vana Nava Hua Hin Water Jungle.
