Hua Hin
Hua Hin is a coastal town, located in Prachuap Khiri Khan province in the south of Thailand, about 200 km from Bangkok. Often called the “Diamond City,” it welcomes more than five million visitors each year and is one of Thailand’s most loved beach towns. Its royal history goes back to the 1920s, and the town still has summer palaces that give it a special charm. Once a retreat for Thai kings, Hua Hin mixes history with a relaxed beach vibe, offering long white sandy beaches, busy night markets, and some of the best seafood in the country.

Hua Hin, Thailand
The Dusit Thani Hua Hin offers the ultimate resort experience in a historic seaside town known for its royal heritage. Overlooking a wide stretch of beach on the Gulf of Thailand, the resort is situated approximately 9 km from Hua Hin city center, and offers guests an easy access to local destinations, including Hua Hin Night Market, Cicada Weekend Market, Kaeng Krachan National Park and many others.
Transportation
Congress participants can book accommodations in Dusit Thani Hua Hin resort under a special congress rate. See details below.
The most convenient way to travel to Hua Hin is to fly into Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK). From there, you can take a bus directly from the airport to the town of Hua Hin (for instance, with this bus company).
Private taxis are also available if you’re willing to pay a bit more or you’re sharing a ride with friends. Here is one taxi service that is easy to book with reasonable prices, for individual travel, small or large groups: https://www.bangkok-huahintaxi.com/.
Note that taxi is more convenient than bus since it will drop you off right at the hotel, while the bus may take you first to the bus depot and will transfer you to the hotel in a small van for an additional fee.
Another travel option to Hua Hin: Take a train!
It's better for the environment and works well with today's gas prices. Plus, you don't have to deal with the traffic. It works especially well for the return trip (Hua Hin-Bangkok) if you plan to stay in Bangkok City for a day or two after the congress.
Ideally, you would want to take '2nd Class, Seating, with Air Con', which will cost about USD 31. The timing from Bangkok to Hua Hin is not the best, however. It leaves the central station (Hua Lamphong) at 7.30 in the morning, and you will need to be at the station at least 30 minutes before departure. The departure time for the return from Hua Hin to Bangkok is at 14.30 and you will arrive to the central station around 18:00. The train station is also a subway station stop.
You can book online (https://thai-railways.com/) or buy the ticket at the station.
