Events Calendar in Hua Hin
In addition to the natural beauty spots and architectural attractions that keep visitors coming throughout the year, Hua Hin also has several noteworthy festivals and events worth making the special trip for, or checking out if you happen to be in town.
The Hua Hin International Kite Festival is held in March when the winds are favourable. Kite flying has long been a competitor sport in Asia, and the festival, now into its 1st decade, is truly international, with competitors coming from all over the world. In addition to the arial displays, there are plenty of food and souvenir stalls. It takes place at The Rama VI Army Camp just north of Hua Hin.For more info visit the TAT web site
Songkran, or Thai New Year, falls on the full moon in mid-April. This is the most popular festival in the Kingdom, and is a time for visiting family, making merit, and having a giant water fight on the streets. Be aware that travel during this period is more difficult, and accommodation more scarce. More on the official TAT web site
Hua Hin Jazz Festival is usually held in the first week of June. It has grown rapidly over the years and is now a major international event, drawing music -loving crowds from throughout Asia and beyond. The line-up is of a high caliber, and the event has a festival vibe, with marquee stages, beer and food stalls all on the beach. It can get very crowded, so be sure to book accommodation well in advance, and to arrive at gigs early to secure a good view. More at the official web site

The Hua Hin Vintage Car Rally usually takes place in December. There have been five events so far and the classic cars make the 225km journey from Bangkok to Hua Hin, parade around town following a route that takes in the Railway Station and Klai Kangwon Palace, then park up to be admired outside The Sofitel Central Hotel.
