About the Royal Thai Army Resort

A military-run resort doesn't exactly fit the typical image of a beach vacation – and that's precisely the point. This is a resort run by the Royal Thai Army in Nong Kae, away from the main hotel strip in central Hua Hin. Here, you're more likely to encounter Thai families and members of the armed forces than an international clientele. If you're looking for a pool bar, concierge service, and the ability to organize excursions, you should look elsewhere. However, if you prefer functional and quiet accommodation on the southern outskirts of town, this is the perfect place.

Expect more of an institutional atmosphere than that of a well-known resort: well-maintained grounds, simple rooms, and limited English skills. Nong Kae is closer to the southern beaches and hills than to the Hua Hin night market, so it's best to plan on renting a scooter or taking a taxi if you want to eat in the center in the evening.

    Tips for visiting hotels and resorts

    Compare the rates of online travel agencies and direct providers.

    After finding a deal on Agoda or Booking.com, you should always check the hotel's own website as well. Many Thai hotels offer a best price guarantee or extras like free breakfast when booking directly.

    A pool villa doesn't have to be expensive.

    Villas with private pools in Krabi, Hua Hin, and Chiang Mai are available from around 2,500–4,000 THB per night – a fraction of the prices in Bali or the Maldives. Search specifically for "pool villa" to discover hidden gems.

    Location is more important than the stars

    A well-located 3-star hotel is often better than a remote 5-star resort. In Bangkok, proximity to a BTS or MRT station saves hours; on islands, proximity to the desired beach is crucial.
