Hua Hin is the oldest beach resort in the Kingdom of Thailand. Hua Hin has been transformed from a fishing village in a fashionable beach resort in the 1920's with the construction of the Hua Hin railway station here in the reign of King Rama VI (1910-1925) and the Klai Kangwon summer palace during the reign of King Rama VII in 1926. The Thai Royal Family still uses the summer palace in Hua Hin. The Maruekatayawan Palace was constructed by His Majesty King Vajiravudh (Rama VI) in 1923 as a place where he could fully relax in great comfort. The beautiful, colonial style Railway Hotel (known now as Sofitel Central Hua Hin Resort) was built near Hua Hin's famous rocks in 1923 by the State Railway Authority. In 1924 Thailand's first golf course opened, the Royal Hua Hin Golf Course.
