Hua Hin 100th Birthday

Post by huahinjim »

Some months ago I made a note in my diary that this weekend there would be celebrations to mark the 100th birthday of Hua Hin. These celebrations would include a drum & percussion event in Nebkaehart (today's spelling) Road.

I've not been able to find anything more and don't even know if the plans came to anything or nothing.

Anybody have any news? I'll be in Hua Hin on Sunday so will take a walk down Neb Rd out of curiosity!

Thanks in advance. :D

Besides the festive activities, Hua Hin authorities will carry out a project of tree planting as a humble offer to His Majesty the King.
