Our top 10 places to stay in and around Hua Hin
Extra splash of style
The Sukkasem aims to be cushier, cleaner and more stylish than the other perched-over-the-sea options on Nares Damri.
It succeeds in terms of cleanliness and style, with a shared open-air loft offering floor cushions, tables and benches to go with sea views. Adorned with woven bamboo walls and original dark-wood floors, rooms come with LCD TVs, small electronic safes, desks, mirrors and good-quality beds with crisp, clean linens. Unfortunately, space and natural light are minimal in the standard rooms with windows facing a hallway. The larger rooms have glass doors opening onto a deck. The value is questionable across the board, but that hasn’t seemed to affect the place’s popularity; they were practically full when we stopped by in low season. That’s no doubt partly due to Sukkasem’s strong online presence, but also to its helpful staff and relaxing atmosphere. We were offered 100 baht off the listed rate on the one room that was left during our visit. Reservations are a good idea if you’re set on staying here.
