Travel back through time on a journey woven from memory Experience Hua Hin as it once was – through culture, architecture, and the charm of local life
As the clock slows and waves gently whisper stories of the past, Devasom Hua Hin Resort invites you to experience a new way of travel. The “Devasom Curated Half-Day Trip” is a carefully crafted half-day journey back in time, to take in the charm of Hua Hin – a treasured resort town – through the stories of old temples, a royal palace, and traditional ways of life that still breathe.
This half-day trip from Devasom Hua Hin has been designed to offer more than sightseeing – it invites guests to savour the atmosphere and spirit of Hua Hin through thoughtful details at every stage. Guests travel in “Jao Khun Pu”, a classic vintage Mercedes with a chauffeur in period uniform. Vintage hats and accessories are available for those who wish to dress the part, along
with an instant camera and film to capture memories. Through activities along the way, guests have the chance to create their own stories.
Two Routes into the Past
The Devasom Curated Half-Day Trip departs from Devasom Hua Hin Resort, with two programmes available based on the day:
1. Devasom ‘Local’ Curated Journey
Monday to Thursday | Approximately 3 hours
Route: Wat Klai Kangwon – Naeb Kehasan Road – a heritage restaurant – Hua Hin Railway Station
This programme is ideal for those drawn to local life and traditions of the past.
The journey begins with merit-making at Wat Klai Kangwon, an old temple with traditional Thai wooden pavilions – a moment for blessings and peace of mind. From there, the car gently winds along Naeb Kehasan Road, a historic street lined with heritage homes that still stand as quiet witnesses to time. Next, a stop at a local restaurant over 80 years old, its original wooden-house charm carefully preserved – an opportunity to photograph the setting and enjoy a meal. The journey concludes at Hua Hin Railway Station, one of the town’s most recognised landmarks. Built in 1926, its Victorian architecture in cream and red remains a treasured symbol of Hua Hin.
2. Devasom ‘Wat & Wang’ Curated Journey
Friday to Sunday | Approximately 3 hours
Route: Wat Klai Kangwon – Mrigadayavan Palace
This programme is ideal for those seeking tranquility, history, and architecture.
The journey begins with merit-making at Wat Klai Kangwon, before travelling to Mrigadayavan Palace – a wooden seaside palace commissioned by King Vajiravudh (Rama VI) between 1923 and 1924. The architecture blends Thai and European influences with understated refinement. Elevated wooden buildings, airy and open, are connected by covered walkways stretching over 400 metres, inviting the sea breeze in naturally. Every element reflects the beauty and taste of its era.
