Step by step guide to see the places in the Video

Arrive at Khao Hin Lek Fai.

Take the small path to the right.

Follow the path through beautiful nature.

Climb the rock formations opposite of the radio tower.

First stop of the viewpoint towards the south part of Hua Hin.

Return to the arrival area and go straight, following the path.

Watch out though - the area is know to be home to some cheeky wild monkeys so be careful with your bags, phones and don't let them know if you have any food on you.

You will easily find the central viewpoint - its views are equally panoramic but not as unobstructed as on the other two spots we recommend here.

From the central viewpoint continue the small path left from the previous angle - it is slightly overgrown but you should be able to reach the southern spot which we captured here during the arrival of afternoon storm in Hua Hin's rainy season.
