Why people are buying property in Hua Hin

We’re going to kick this article off by listing the top reasons why people are buying property in Hua Hin. Following that, we’ll highlight some of the key locations that make Hua Hin so attractive to both investors, expats, and holiday makers alike!

• Breath-taking natural environment: Thailand is gorgeous – period. And whilst it’s renowned the world over for a wide variety of reasons, there are few quite as compelling as its natural beauty. In Hua Hin, you get a real taste of its breath-taking natural environment without being too far from the action! Hua Hin boasts a smorgasbord of golden sandy beaches lined with fish-tail palms, rolling, emerald-green hills, and a local vineyard that produces some truly delicious wine.  You can find everything from national parks, conservation centres, elephant sanctuaries and so much more (which we will get to shortly).

• Convenient, strategic location: Particularly for those looking to invest in property to rent out to holiday makers, Hua Hin is one of the most strategically located destinations in all of Thailand. Due to its convenient vicinity to Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok, many tourists choose Hua Hin as their ideal holiday location. This is largely because once touching down in Bangkok after a long-flight, few people want to connect to another flight and head down to Krabi or Phuket – especially when they’ve got such a gorgeous location within a short taxi or bus ride away. In Hua Hin, holiday makers can have a taste of Thailand’s exotic beaches and verdant hills without having to spend a large part of their vacation in transit.

• Wide selection of local amenities: Hua Hin is kitted out! In addition to its stunning natural environment, Hua Hin is packed full of amenities like shopping malls, schools, international hospitals, hotels, gyms, restaurants, cinemas, and bars – not to mention the annual Jazz festival and a host of other regular events! The fact is, Hua Hin is both ideal for holiday makers in search of adventure and expats looking for a place to settle, with the perfect blend of natural beauty and the convenience of civilization.

• Endless activities: Further to having plenty of local amenities, Hua Hin is an ideal spot for activities. Hua Hin is ideally situated for kite surfing, kayaking, diving, snorkelling, surfing, cycling, hiking, and so much more – perfect for anyone who loves the great outdoors! As for the golf-lovers out there, Hua Hin is home to some of the most pristine golf courses in the world – we’re talking about championship quality.

• The laid-back life: While Bangkok and Hua Hin are rather close in proximity, they’re worlds apart. Bangkok has all of the hustle and bustle, whereas Hua Hin is all about that laid-back life. You could argue that Hua Hin is in the “goldilocks zone,” in that it provides the perfect conditions to support life – gorgeous natural surroundings, ample local amenities, an ideal lifestyle for people of all ages, and the perfect balance of calm (with plenty of opportunity to party when you need to let loose)!

• Excellent value for money: Put it this way – the average price for a property in London, England, is £ 1,041,501 (฿ 46,219,856.36). As for the average property listing for luxury villas in Hua Hin: £ 270,797.09 (฿ 12,014,134). So, for roughly ¼ of the price for a small 2-bed house in a country that is (for the most part) cold and wet, you can buy a 4-bedroom luxury villa with a swimming pool, moments way from a tropical beach in a country that is (for the most part) hot and cheerful. We’d say that’s pretty excellent value for money, wouldn’t you?

• The perfect climate: Hua Hin is conveniently located in the centre of a narrow peninsula which protects it from the more extreme weather conditions that occur in Thailand. Temperatures are consistent, the breezes are cool, and the weather is irrefutably gorgeous.

• A bright future: Hua Hin has steadily been rising in popularity over the years and that trend is showing no signs of slowing down. Again, due to its convenient location, stunning natural environment, and all of the amazing local amenities – there has never been a better time to invest than right now!

• Great healthcare and medical services: Medical tourism has been huge in Thailand for many years due to its exceptional standard at highly competitive and affordable prices. Hua Hin already has a number of excellent medical institutions, including hospitals and dentists.

• Food glorious food: Hua Hin has no shortage of amazing restaurants and eateries. Whether you love street-food or living the high life in 5-star restaurants, Hua Hin has something for everyone – not to mention the exceptional seafood.
