If you come to Hua Hin and want to change the atmosphere from the crowded main beach, try moving a little further south and you will find "Khao Takiab", a small mountain that juts out into the sea. It is an important landmark that gathers all kinds of tourist activities, whether it's for merit-making, nature, or food, all in one place. The most prominent symbol is the large "Buddha statue in the posture of forbidding relatives" that stands majestically facing the sea.
A popular activity when visiting here is to go up to "Wat Khao Takiab" to worship sacred objects and see the view of Hua Hin from a high angle. Along the way, you will meet the locals, a large "monkey troop" that lives on the mountain. Tourists can buy food to feed them, but it is recommended to be careful with your belongings and follow the instructions of the staff. In addition, at the foot of the hill is the location of the "Guanyin Shrine" and the statue of the Thousand-Handed Guanyin Bodhisattva, which is a beautiful and peaceful viewpoint, suitable for making wishes for good fortune.
After making merit, don't forget to take a walk at "Takiab Beach", which is quieter than Hua Hin Beach. The sea water here is quite clear and the water level is not very deep, suitable for bringing the family to relax and enjoy the cool sea breeze, listening to the sound of the waves crashing on the shore.
End the trip with a highlight that foodies will love, with a trip to the "Khao Takiab Community", which is an old fishing village. This place is famous for seafood restaurants that are fresh, clean, and reasonably priced. There are many restaurants to choose from, lined up next to each other. Or if you want to buy fresh food from fishing boats that have just landed to grill yourself, you can buy it at the market in the community. Guaranteed that the freshness and sweetness of shrimp, shellfish, crab, and fish will make your Khao Takiab trip the most perfect.
