It is easily accessible by Sam Lo – three-wheeled pedal vehicle, Song Thaeo - minibus and rental car service provided to the centre of the district or nearby places.

Chatchai Market (ตลาดฉัตรชัย) is an old market of Hua Hin, which is well-known among both domestic and international tourists, located by Phetchakasem Road in Hua Hin town. This market was built in 1926 after the royal initiative of King Rama VII on the occasion of his first royal visit to Klai Kangwon Palace with Queen Rambhai Barni. The Chatchai Royal Family, by General Prince Purachatra of Kambaengbejr, had the market constructed and presented it to the king. The structure of the market was made of reinforced concrete with a 7-curved roof, symbolising its construction during the reign of King Rama VII. Nowadays, it is a marketplace of souvenirs, as well as fresh and preserved food.

Hua Hin Night Market (ตลาดโต้รุ่งหัวหิน) presents the colours of Hua Hin’s nightlife and is a source of various kinds of food such as Thai dishes, seafood, Thai desserts, Roti, etc. Both Thai and foreign tourists usually visit this place.

Hua Hin Railway Station (สถานีรถไฟหัวหิน) The unique feature of this place is Phlapphla Phra Monkutklao which is a royal pavilion in a cruciform plan. It was constructed during the reign of King Rama VI, was originally called as Phlapphla Sanam Chan and situated at the Sanam Chan Palace in Nakhon Pathom province. This pavilion was originally for the king to watch the Wild Tiger Corps and boy scouts from all over the country conduct annual military practices. After his reign, the State Railway of Thailand removed and kept it in order to commemorate His honourable deeds in 1968. Colonel Saeng Chunlacharit, the governor of the State Railway of Thailand during that time, realised that the pavilion should be reconstructed in Hua Hin to be the royal train platform for His Majesty the King. The reconstruction was done by Thai craftsmen. During its opening ceremony on 6 April, 1974, it was renamed “Phlapphla Phra Mongkutklao” on 6 April, 1974, by Her Royal Highness Princess Bejaratana Rajasuda Sirisobhabannavadi. This railway station is considered as a very famous venue of Hua Hin. Moreover, it is a place collecting an ancient steam engine that the State Railway of Thailand bought from England.
