Alittle further north of Hua Hin Beach after Klai Kang Won (the Royal Palace) is what is known as 19 Rai or the Queen Sirikit Park Hua Hin. Easy to get to from either Soi 35 or Soi 19 on the Phetchkasem Road going north about 2km from Hua Hin town center.
The beach here is very quiet and on low tides is great for a long walk away from the crowds in Hua Hin, during the week you will probably find you are the only people there. The beach sand here is darker than that of Hua Hin beach and not soft. There are no trees here so no shade on the beach which can get hot. On high tides the ocean comes up to the sea wall.
There are a few large hotels here, the Imperial Hotel Hua Hin and the new Rest Detail Hotel opened in 2008. Rest Detail Hotel has rooms on the 3rd and 4th floors which have jacuzzi's on the terrace facing the sea, they also have villas with private pools and bunglows.
The best part of 19 Rai Hua Hin is a garden area next to the beach where it is nice to bring a mat and have sit down in the shade of the trees during the day or enjoy a drink and some food of a night-time. There are always a few Thai food venders here, more on the weekends and on some Friday nights there is live music from a local band. It is also home to one of Hua Hin's only public children's play areas, with swings, slides and climbing apparatus. For the adults who like to have a play and keep fit there is the outdoor exercise park. So your kids can play on the swings while you get some exercise.
