Hua Hin continues to surprise us as we’ve discovered a few hidden gems: Centara Grand Beach Resort & Villas, Anantasila Villa beach hotel, little coffee shops, and spas: Let’s Relax and Asia Herbs Association (those two are my favorites).

We spent a wonderful afternoon at Centara Grand Beach Resort & Villas Hua Hin. An elegant hotel was built in 1923, renovated, and considered one of the finest hotels of the East. Centara’s beautiful landscaped grounds and colonial charm should not be missed.

I think that hotel’s gardens must be added to the list of attraction in Hua Hin.

Can you believe that these photos are taken in Hua Hin, a small beach town in Thailand?

I would think that it is a cute coffee/tea shop somewhere in Princeton, NJ…

Here are a few pictures from our farewell dinner at Anantasila Villa beach hotel in Hua Hin:

great view, orchid’s garden, excellent service, gourmet food… What a blessing!

Saying goodbye to our beautiful villa where we blissfully lived almost three months (November, February, and March); going to Ko Pha Ngan, a small island in the Gulf of Thailand.
