There's actually been a few threads on here over the years that show old Hua Hin.

Maybe they could all be collated in a sticky? Maybe they already are?

This shows Hua Hin itself. I guess the bypass has certainly been effective!

I've got some from the first time I came here for a holiday in 1989. Was staying at the Royal Garden Village - now Anantara.

There's one photo that will always stay with me. A shot on the beach from the hotel looking south to Takiab.

There are only two high rises visible, The Melia (Hilton) and City Beach.

That photo was scanned and put up on the forum years ago. Maybe I've still got the original? Don't know.

I've just seen this on Facebook. I've never seen such a comparison before, and thought I'd share it. I've seen many similar of Pattaya, but this is the first I've seen of Hua Hin. Found on the Thailand Travel page.

Is there any indication of when the old photo was taken?

No, there wasn't. Petchkasem looks a bit different

Japanese reconnaissance prior to WW2.

I am just wondering if jimk still reads the forum. He was first time in Hua Hin in the early 60's.

Late 1962, just after the Cuban missile crisis. I was bumming round the world at the time and had just spent a month or so in Petchaburi with a friendly and hospitable Thai family. I hitched a ride with a vanload of travelling salesmen who stopped for the night in Hua Hin. We all slept on the floor of a room above the Bata shoe shop on Petchkasem Road, across the road from Chartchai Market. It's still there. My share of the cost of the room was 2 baht, I remember. The next day we continued south, on a bumpy dirt road, and I parted company with them at the crossroads outside Chumphon. I spent the night in a petrol station and awoke to find the road under water and most of the trees flattened. I'd slept through one of the worst storms ever to hit southern Thailand - on a workbench in a corrugated iron shed. I must have been tired.

Would be nice to know if he has any photos of Hua Hin from those days. Or anywhere in Thailand then.
