Khao Hin Lek Fai (เขาหินเหล็กไฟ - aew) (HuaHin) Khao Hin Lek Fai is a small park 2 km west of the city. You can enjoy a beautiful view of the city and its surroundings. Dozens of high rise buildings catch your eye, among them many half-finished and ruined buildings, the unfortunate result of 'false speculation'. Impressive temples with huge Buddha statues are under construction in the north-western part of the city, just before the elephant camp and opposite a Chinese cemetery.

Temple >>
Wat Huay Mongkol *** (วัดห้วยมงคล ) (HuaHin) Wat Huay Mongkol is a very busy temple and worshipers come from far away to pay respects to the huge statue of Luang Phor Tuad. Not only is the temple regarded as a holy place, it has also become a recreational area for visitors. It is supposedly the largest statue of its kind and represents Somdet Phako, formerly called Poo, whose birth date is assumed to have been around A.D.1582 or 1588 (B.E. 2125 or 2131). Luang Poh Tuad is an important Buddha for the people of the south; it is linked to the supernatural power of turning salt water into fresh when Buddha soaked his legs in the sea. His Majesty the King has visited the temple many times and the Royal initial of Her Majesty the Queen is installed in the front of the statue. Wat Huay Mongkol is located west of Hua Hin near the mountains and the Burma border. Thap Tai, Hua Hin, Prachuap Khiri Khan 77110 |
