I have no problem in beach umbrellas, in moderation. After all I am married to a Thai who would never go to the beach without cover. Facilities should cater for all, but please tell me which you would prefer.

Interesting point mentioned in the article
"The Ministry of the Interior currently allows 22 vendors who provide beach chairs and umbrellas to use an area beside the Centara Grand Hua Hin Hotel, on the condition they must ensure visitors have easy and convenient access to the beach"

I've never heard of Hua Don beach but "Baan Hua Don" turns up in the address of several hotels in Khao Takiap when you do an internet search.

DM has it. Takiab beach is the one immediately north of Khao Takiab, and Hua Don beach is the one immediately south.

But they have just pulled down resteraunts and removed some beds from there! IMHO it's much better as the food stalls have moved back allowing people to sit under the trees getting natural shade.
