For the Dutch
Hua Hin — the Dutch expat community's favourite destination
The community
The Dutch feel at home here.
The Dutch have been strongly represented in Hua Hin for years — both as holidaymakers and permanent expats. The town is quiet, royal and international, without the chaos of Phuket or Pattaya.
Direct KLM flights to Bangkok from Amsterdam make it accessible: doing business or visiting family without endless transfers.
