Hua Hin Nightlife
Hua Hin's nightlife offers little in the way of comparison to the hedonistic areas of Phuket, Bangkok and Pattaya. Due to its status as a 'Royal Town' tourism authorities have been making a conscious effort to preserve the heritage of the city.
But don't imagine for one minute that after midnight the town turns into a pumpkin; there are several pubs, beer bars and a handful of nightclubs featuring live entertainment and spacious dance-floors
Hua Hin Beach
This is the place to go if bar-hopping is the flavor of the night. Here a multitude of bars reside, ranging from the Blue Angel Cabaret show for some kitsch classics, the more risqué (if possible) Octopussy to your average Irish bar. A good mix of people surround the area.
Expect to see a fusion of Thai and European holiday-makers wandering in and around the area, doing some late-night shopping or enjoying the sport on one of the huge TV screens found at most pubs. (Read more...)
Live Music
Even though Hua Hin prides itself on being more of an idyllic family retreat than a hedonistic party hub, the town has emerged as an innovative art centre within the country, thus it is quite easy to find venues playing live music until the early hours.
Karaoke is also a favorite pastime in Hua Hin; this is where things really get into the swing with aspiring Celine Dions getting attached to the microphone. These bars are mainly in central areas and easily stumbled across, even after a few too many cocktails. (Read more...)
Nightclubs in Hua Hin
Most of Hua Hin's popular night clubs belong to the major hotel chains with a price range that is less competitive than your average beach side bar. The Satchmo Club, situated in the main lobby of the Sofitel Centara Grand Resort & Villas, is considered to be Hua Hin's prime jazz venue. Consequently they pull in a good crowd during the late week and weekend when the in-house Filipino band keep dancers entertained until the early hours.
The Hilton Hua Hin Resort & Spa club is also very popular with locals and tourist alike who flock to the dance floor to enjoy some rock and pop classics. The area around the Hilton has a number of other lively places to choose from. (Read more...)
