Once a sleepy fishing village, these days, Hua Hin is a popular seaside resort town just a couple of hours south of Bangkok. Thanks also to the continued patronage of the Thai monarchy, the Royal Coast, with Hua Hin at its centre, is also a favourite weekend and holiday escape for well-to-do Bangkokians. Importantly, this family-friendly location retains much of its authentic Thai culture and character.
Although not as popular as other Thai international tourist destinations like Phuket, Pattaya, Koh Samui and Chiang Mai, Hua Hin is highly appealing to those longing for a laidback lifestyle or considering retirement in Thailand.
The region offers a good infrastructure and necessities for modern living, with excellent healthcare, sporting and recreational activities, shopping, including imported foods and groceries, and a great range of housing at affordable prices.
If you plan to invest in Hua Hin, condos close to the beaches are popular. Just out of the town centre are fantastic pool villas and detached houses favoured by families and people planning to retire in Hua Hin. Here are three cracking pool villa projects ranging from 7.3 to 10 million THB (215,000 to 240,000 USD) to give a sense of the opportunities available.
1. Aria 2 Hua Hin 
We are not surprised by how quickly this project is selling. Designed by award-winning contractors, quality, comfort, and liveability are top-notch. Situated out of town, in a rural setting, it’s under 15 minutes to Market Village Shopping Mall, beaches and the renowned Black Mountain Golf Club.
The three-bedroom, three-bathroom, single-story home includes a large swimming pool, private landscaped gardens, and a two-vehicle carport with a storage room. Each villa has 190 sqm of internal living area plus a large shaded patio area, perfect for breakfast, lunch and dinner beside the pool.
Two house plans are available, with alterations to the villa allowable within specific guidelines. Furniture packages make it even easier to settle into your brand-new haven.
The development provides 24-hour security, garbage collection, cleaning of common areas, and maintenance of the public road. Electricity and water are billed directly to the owner from the provider. Priced from 7.4 million THB.

2. Baan Phu Thara
This award-winning project took out not one but three awards at the 2017 Thailand Property Awards relating to design and sustainability.
Developer Thai Country Homes prides itself on selecting quiet country locations, and Baan Phu Thara is no exception. Hua Hin International School, Black Mountain Golf Course and Water Park, Big C supermarket, and Palau Road, with its rapidly growing foodie scene, are within easy reach.
Another hallmark of this developer is their eco-focus, providing low energy and maintenance costs. Sustainability features include solar power, rainwater harvesting, Q-Con Superblock walls, roof and ceiling insulation, UPVC double-glazed windows, inverter air-conditioning, energy-efficient pumps and lighting, and grey water treatment.
The design and construction of these luxurious three-bedroom and ensuite pool villas are also a huge plus. With three different villa layouts on offer, they feature an open-plan kitchen, dining and living areas, a spacious terrace, separate laundry, and an office. A 900,000 THB furniture package is included in the sale price, further complementing the stylish contemporary finish.
