Khao Takiab: New Tourist Attraction in Hua Hin!

A newly developed and fast growing city, Khao Takiab, is situated about seven kms from Hua Hin, Thailand and emerging as a new holiday destination for tourists, which has facilitated all the amenities required by visitors. Like all other touristic destinations, this place also offers a comprehensive package of peaceful holiday with all right accommodation, facilities, beaches, beautiful weather, adventurous activities, eatery places and so such more. Though, this place has been lately added to the list of top holiday destinations but one cannot question on its offered services as it has manifested almost everything which a person looks for spending treasured time. 

The name of the place ‘Khao Takiab’ literally means ‘chopstick hill’ due to its 272m high peninsula which can be seen from southern part of Hua Hin Beach. Going by this side, you can see 20m tall Lord Buddha statue, few Thai and Chinese religious figures and statue of King Rama V. This place is also known as ‘Monkey Mountain’ because of the presence of hundreds of monkeys at Khao Takiab. Though, they are not brutal and usually do not harm people but one should be cautious while being around them as they have a normal tendency to snatch away things which they find different than usual or interesting. Handbags and cameras should be taken special care and all the precious things should be kept inside the bag. The people who have been to this place have experienced their aggressive reactions in case of scarcity of food being served to them; so, it is better not to serve them or call for a grand party.

In a way, it is a very interesting place to visit which is situated at a very convenient location and one can easily come down to this place without any difficulty. Khao Takiab beach is just 190km south of Bangkok and travelling to Hua Hin from Bangkok is just a matter of four hours by train. One can also opt for car or bus services that best suits their requirement. This place has recently became a known name among visitors and with its rigorous efforts to provide the best possible services to customers, package tours as well as individual charges have also been offered by it. Even things can be customized on customer’s demand. 

The beach of Khao Takiab has been called as one of the best beaches of Hua Hin which also offers many activities such as beach cycling, beach jogging, swimming, local temples, restaurants and much more. One can play beach volleyball, football and takraw and can entertain themselves. Khao Takiab beach is less busy than Hua Hin beach and offers a place to people to taste local delicacies and relax afterwards. When talking about food, fishes and seafood are the most famous delicacies for which people come from far away and pamper their taste buds. However, one can find international cuisine too.
