"Hua Hin or Pattaya, what to choose for your holiday
Pattaya is an unprecedentedly popular resort in Thailand , but it is far from the only one. Situated on the same coast of the Gulf of Thailand, the royal resort of Hua Hin is an excellent alternative to the noisy and depraved Pattaya , especially if you are looking for a more peaceful and quiet place, and the best beaches. Here is our most objective comparison of resorts, which will help you make a choice faster:
Seasons and weather
Both resorts are year-round, and here (except for the occasional unpredictable weather cataclysms) the weather is clear and warm. Even in the rainy seasons, both resorts offer comfortable rest and sunbathing, as the rains are short-lived.

Beaches
Pattaya beaches are considered to be some of the worst among all beach resorts in Thailand. Indeed, Pattaya city beach wants to be much cleaner, more well-groomed and less crowded. But what can you do, because it is the most popular resort, and also a very large city.
Hua Hin can boast excellent clean, uncrowded and wide beaches, giving a head start of several points to Pattaya beaches. Even within the city limits they are much better here than Pattaya, not to mention areas outside the city. And such warm water as in Hua Hin, probably, does not exist anywhere in Thailand.

Attractions and excursions
This issue is not so clear-cut. On the one hand, Pattaya and its surroundings have very few attractions ( Bangkok and Ayutthaya do not count, they are far away), while Hua Hin and its surroundings have quite a lot of interesting places. On the other hand, Pattaya offers a lot of inexpensive group excursions to all corners of Thailand, and even to neighboring Cambodia and Laos, including in Russian. Nothing like this can be found in Hua Hin. Of course, excursions are also sold there, but not in such quantities and not so cheap. And it is almost impossible to find a guide in Russian, at least for now.
