Assume you mean "employees".
There is no Hua Hin newspaper.

The Bangkok Post has an extensive vacancies section and will display the ads in Thai if needed. I would check with your lawyer first if you need to place the ads before your work permit is issued.

To reach Thais shouldn't you advertise in Thai media? I've not seen a lot of Thais reading The BKK Post or The Nation. Advertising is all about identifying the audience/customers and choosing the right medium to reach them.

You can also advertise on the local Hua Hin Cable TV channel.
They run a ticker-tape type service.
When we first opened our restaurant, we got about 20 responses over a 5-day period and actually found the 4 people we wanted from those applicants.
It wasn't expensive either.
