Nearby Attractions

Three unmissable local sights sit within easy reach of Baan Bayan:

• Hua Hin Railway Station: Just 2 kilometers from the hotel, this iconic 1920s wooden station is one of Thailand’s most photographed landmarks, with its brightly colored royal pavilion and well-preserved colonial architecture. It’s a quick 10-minute drive for a scenic morning stroll.
• Black Mountain Golf Club: Located less than 3 kilometers from the property, this championship 18-hole course is a favorite among visiting golfers, with rolling greens, mountain views, and a clubhouse with casual dining.
• Hua Hin Night Market: A 15-minute walk from the hotel, this bustling evening market offers everything from handmade Thai silk and souvenirs to fresh grilled seafood and street food, ideal for an evening of browsing and local dining.

Travel Tips

Book a sea-view room during dry season (November to February) for the coolest temperatures and most stunning sunrises over the gulf. Airport transfers can be arranged directly through the hotel in advance, which is far more reliable than hailing a ride on arrival. Don’t skip the on-property breakfast—its spread of local Thai dishes and Western favorites is well worth including in your booking. If you’re traveling with kids, the hotel offers children’s books, board games, and plenty of open beach space for playing, making it a great pick for family trips. Finally, remember that the spa and laundry service charge small additional fees, so factor these into your travel budget if you plan to use them.
