Hua Hin and Thailand's Royal Coast: Baht Basics

Hua Hin offers a gentler take on the Thai beach holiday, a few hours from Bangkok with night markets, golf and long sandy beaches. Like everywhere in Thailand, it rewards travellers who buy Thai baht before arrival, and a commission-free provider such as Travel FX makes that a five-minute job online.

Night market economics

Hua Hin's night markets are the town's biggest draw, from grilled seafood to local crafts, and they run entirely on cash. Small notes keep transactions quick.

Day trips worth the notes

Vineyard tours, national park visits and water parks along the coast are simpler with cash, especially for entry fees and local transport.
