Hua Hin on the North Western Gulf Coast of Thailand has long been a favoured holiday destination of the rich and royal, and is the location of a number of the Thai Royal Family's summer palaces. As a result of their affection for the area and their years of visiting, it is said that Hua Hin may be Thailand's oldest beach resort. Even the first golf course in Thailand was opened in Hua Hin in 1924!
The Pala-U Waterfall is in the Kaeng Krachan National Park, some 60kms west of Hua Hin. The park is one of the largest in Thailand and sits right next to the Burmese (Myanmar) border.
