» Hilton Hua Hin Resort & Spa, which has long been a Hua Hin favourite for three decades, keeps up with the time with a big renovation plan. The spacious lobby is now modern and minimalist, compared to its grand but old-fashioned vibe in the past. The iconic floor-to-ceiling glass windows allow in ample natural light and afford guests a sense of arrival with a view of the swimming pool down to the horizon, befitting a beachfront property. Facilities and accommodations have also been refreshed while the garden and swimming pool area is up next for renovation.

For the (curious) records
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 13/09/2019
» It seems like not a month goes by without Thailand being recognised on a global scale. Recently, Bangkok beat Paris and London as the most visited city in the world for 2018, for the fourth consecutive year, according to a MasterCard ranking. Thailand's capital hosted 22 million overnight travellers. In the midst of the flattering and not-so-flattering world titles Thailand has received, you may not be aware of the times we receive recognition for rather peculiar feats. If your curiosity is piqued, allow me to present the strange/cool world records in the Land of Smiles.
