10 Destinasi Wisata di Hua Hin, Thailand (Plus Estimasi Biaya)

So, last Idul Fitri long holiday, I went to Thailand with husband, kids, and my mom.

It was a little bit unplanned. We just bought the ticket, pack and go the next week.

It was fun tho! Although it was so damn hot, but still enjoyable.

Where did we go? Let's wrap up from my instagram posts :)


 

1. SANTORINI PARK STAY

Actually this place is the main reason I wanna visit Hua Hin since last year :))

Yes you can tell from the name, it's all about Santorini! 

Santorini Park Stay - Check In ⚓️ Everybody knows how I kinda obsessed with all about Santorini but haven’t had the chance to go there yet. Well, almost, but had to cancel it just 2 days before departure (Read the story on my blog last year). ⚓️ I want to make it really special so I patiently wait until the timing is just right, with the love of my life. While waiting, I had the chance to feel the beauty of Santorini. Not in Greece, but here in Cha Am, Thailand. In @santoriniparkstay ⚓️ No sea view and golden sunset but still, I see the beauty in every corner. So beautiful that I kinda resist to share the pics, it took me some days to finally publish this :)) ⚓️ Btw, we booked the room directly from their website santoriniparkstay.com . We had deluxe room cost 7600 baht, bunk bed room 6500 baht, and extrabed 2200 baht. All costs mentioned are for 3 days 2 nights and including all the facilities, totally worth it! ⚓️ Will share more about the facilities on the next posts! ⚓️ #nutstory #nutsplace #nutsinthailand #nutsinhuahin #nutsantoriniparkstay #huahin #chaam #thailand #santorini #santoriniparkstay

Santorini Park Stay - Facilities ⚓️ Beside the beautiful Santorini ambience, why I loved staying at this @santoriniparkstay was the facilities, including: ⚓️ 1. Common Room. This is like pantry where we can make our own tea or coffee or warming food using microwave, and chitchat in the room anytime for free. There’s also vending machine if you’re still craving for more drinks, snacks or noodles 🍝 ⚓️ 2. Next to it was 24 hour Play Room where kids can play cute games like little kitchen, tent, mini billiard, while adults can enjoy reading magz 📖 ⚓️ 3. Game Room. This is for bigger kids games such as nintendo, ping pong 🏓 n billiards 🎱 I had so much fun played billiards with mom and my firstborn for an hour, while daddy played stack and nintendo with the lastborn. There’s water dispenser inside so we don’t have to go anywhere when thirsty. ⚓️ 4. Bikes to borrow for free! 🚲 Too bad we didn’t try it because it was so hot when we went out. ⚓️ 5. Free shuttle bus 🚎 that took us to Hua Hin Night Market (will post about this place soon). We took it 2 nights in a row. Depart 6.30pm from hotel and pick up 9.30pm from the night market, and the journey time was about 30mins. ⚓️ And of course, as the guests of Santorini Park Stay we were entitled to @santorinipark and @santoriniparkwaterventures entrance for free! Will also post about it later :) ⚓️ #nutstory #nutsplace #nutsinfo #nutstips #nutstrip #thailand #nutsinthailand #nutsinchaam #chaam #nutsantoriniparkstay #santoriniparkstay

I’ve been wanting to tell you a story but pending since I don’t know how to express it better than just a sincere thank you. 🙏🏽 So I’ve already checked out from @santoriniparkstay and moved to Hua Hin area, when my eldest showed me an sms from staff of Santorini Park Stay saying that I left something on safety box. 🙏🏽 The night before I got a terrible stomach so I let @nataliardianto do the packing and remind him to clear things up in safety box. 🙏🏽 Turned out, it was my wallet full of credit cards and money other than baht (coz I brought the baht with me using using a new wallet provided by @santoriniparkstay ) 🙏🏽 I didn’t realize it until the staffs of @santoriniparkstay tried to reach out for me in every way: sms, phone call, email, and even instagram DM 😅 🙏🏽 So 2 days later I dropped by at @santoriniparkstay and got my wallet back. It was very neatly wrapped, with my namecard on it, and intact contents inside. 🙏🏽 They were so sincere that when I expressed gratitude by giving a tips they looked a bit reluctant and confused, until the manager convinced them to take it 😅 🙏🏽 My trip to Thailand was mainly to visit @santorinipark and stay at @santoriniparkstay and I was impressed by the beauty of it. This event top it off perfectly 👌🏼 🙏🏽 Once again thank you so much @santoriniparkstay for excellent hospitality and honesty, I really2 appreciate it and would definitely recommend everyone to stay at @santoriniparkstay 😍 🙏🏽 #nutstory #nutstrip #nutsplace #nutstyle #nutslyfe #nutsinfo #nutsinthailand #nutsinchaam #nutsantoriniparkstay #thailand #chaam #santoriniparkstay

3. HUA HIN NIGHT MARKET 

Oh I love this place for its super affordable shopping spree, foods and body pampers!


Hua Hin Night Market 🛍 Selama menginap di @santoriniparkstay 2 malam berturut2 kami jajan di Hua Hin Night Market memanfaatkan shuttle gratis mereka. 🛍 Berangkat jam 18:30, perjalanan 30 menit, dijemput pulang jam 21:30. Jadi total punya waktu 2,5 jam buat jajan belanja dan makan. 🛍 Asli semuanya murah2 banget di sana. Misal: 👍🏽 Makan minum enak berlima 300an baht, ga sampai 200rb rupiah. 👍🏽 Souvenir/oleh2 rata2 20-100baht, dirupiahin nggak sampai 100rb. 👍🏽 Pijat 30 menit 99bht dan 60 menit 169baht (sejam ga sampe 100rb) 👍🏽 Si sulung beli phone case cuma 30baht (ga sampe 15rb), si bungsu malah dapet phonecase yg bisa sekalian tetris, cuma 300baht. 👍🏽 Ajaibnya lagi, kalau beli barang banyakan masih dikasih diskon atau bonus! Mantap. 🛍 Hua Hin Night Market 📍Petchkasem Road ⏱18:00-23:00 (Paling asik dateng stlh 19:00) 🛍 #nutsinfo #nutsplace #nutstrip #thailand #nutsinthailand #nutsinhuahin #huahin #huahinnightmarket

4. WAT HUAY MONGKOL

Must bring: umbrella. Super hot!



5. MONSOON VALLEY & HUA HIN HILLS VINEYARD

Makanannya enak2, worth it sama harganya. Jangan lupa keliling vineyardnya juga ya!

Siapa yang nyangka ada perkebunan anggur di Hua Hin yang literally super hot alias puanas buanget? Emang bisa anggur tumbuh subur di tempat super gitu? Eh ternyata bisa aja kok. 🍷 Tempatnya luas banget: 560 hektar! Kita keliling naik mobil terbuka dari mereka, bayar 100baht per orang termasuk welcome drink dan pemandu berbahasa Inggris. 🍷 Pastinya kita makan siang juga di restonya, enak2! Yaa harus enak sih, karena lumayan mahal. Berlima totalnya habis 1,5jutaan (rupiah). But worth it kok, apalagi dengan pemandangan indah di sekelilingnya. 🍷 Kalau mau ke sana sebenernya paling asik pertengahan Februari sampai Maret karena pas musim panen, dan mereka ada paketnya buat petik anggur, antar jemput Market Village, dan live music jazz. Tapi kalo mau nikmatin suasananya sih bisa kapan aja, tetep asik :) 🍷 Hua Hin Hills Vineyard Opening Hours: 10:00 –18:00 (kitchen 11:00-17:30) Location: Baan Khork Chang Patana (about 36km from Hua Hin town, in the same direction as Pa La U Waterfall) 🍷 Read more at: http://www.bangkok.com/huahin/hua-hin/hua-hin-hills-vineyard.htm?cid=ch:OTH:001 🍷 #nutsinfo #nutstips #nutsplace #nutstips #nutslyfe #huahin #nutsinthailand #nutsinhuahin #thailand #huahinhillsvineyard #monsoonvalley #wine

6. THE VENEZIA

Ini tempat tematik kayak yang ada di Kota Wisata Cibubur atau De Voyage Bogor gitu dehh...


Gondola at The Venezia 🛶 Latihan naik gondola di The Venezia Hua Hin Thailand sebelum ke Venezia beneran 😁 🛶 Tempat ini sebenernya shopping mall aja tapi dibalut dengan nuansa Eropa khususnya Italia. 🛶 Untuk bisa naik gondola harus bayar 160baht per orang atau bisa ambil paket lengkap semua rides 480baht per orang (sekitar 200ribu). 🛶 Jujur ya, yang worth it cuma gondola aja jadi kalo ke sini aku saranin beli tiket satuan buat yg gondola aja deh. Yang lain2nya gak penting 🤣 🛶 Eh kecuali kalo suka 3D Art gallery ya, anak2 sih suka, banyak foto2 lucu di sana. Nanti dipost juga deh. 🛶 The Venezia Opening Hours: Mon - Sun 10:00 - 23:30 Location: 1899 Petch Kasem Rd.

7. CICADA NIGHT MARKET

Must bring: lots of cash! 

Kalo kalian ke Hua Hin Thailand wajib banget deh mampir ke @cicadamarket ! 🇹🇭 Soalnya asik banget: ada jajanan lengkap, street art, live music dan show, gratisss ! 🇹🇭 Jangan salah hari ya, karena bukanya cuma Jumat-Sabtu-Minggu aja dari jam 4 sore sampai 11 malam. 🇹🇭 Pilihan makanannya buanyak dan enak2. Pilihan belanjaannya unik2 dan lucu2. 🇹🇭 Sayangnya waktu itu kita baru ke sana jam 7 lewat. Muter2 makan hampir 2 jam. Sisanya baru liat2 jualan yang unik2. Eh jam 10 keburu hujan! Misbar deh... 😭 🇹🇭 Tips: bawa uang tunai! Kalo kehabisan, jajan di pasar sebelah, makanan dan minumannya jauhh lebih murahhhh! 🇹🇭 PS: aku baru tau cicada itu artinya jangkrik! 🤣 🇹🇭 #nutsinfo #nutsplace #nutstips #nutstrip #nutslyfe #nutsinhuahin #nutsinthailand #huahin #thailand #cicadamarket

8. PHRAYA NAKHON CAVE 

Must wear: super comfy shoes for hiking and anti-wet slipper for walking in the mud!



9. KHAO DAENG CANAL 

Must bring: sunglasses, and camera of course :)

Khao Daeng Canal 🚣‍♀️ Ada yang ketinggalan diceritain nih dari Thailand trip kemarin. Padahal lumayan bagus. 🚣‍♀️ Jadi setelah hiking ke Phraya Nakon Cave di kawasan Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park, kita cari aktivitas lain yang ngga menguras tenaga. 🚣‍♀️ Driver @klooktravel kami menyarankan naik perahu menyusuri Khao Daeng Canal karena kita tinggal duduk manis aja. 🚣‍♀️ Dan sungguh itu saran yg sangat tepat. Karena selama 1 jam perjalanan menyusuri kanal itu aku menikmati panorama & berpose, sementara yg lain.. lelap tidur semua :) 🚣‍♀️ Oya 1 boat itu cuma kita berlima aja, jadi private. Bayarnya sekitar 600an baht kalo ngga salah ya. Worth itlah, sejam loh. 🚣‍♀️ Pas baliknya kita dikasih bonus pemandangan kadal guede banget sampe sempat aku kira buaya 🐊🙈 🚣‍♀️ #nutsinfo #nutsplace #nutstips #nutstrip #nutsinthailand #thailand #nutsinhuahin #huahin #khaodaeng

BONUS: NORNDEE HOTEL

Ini sebenarnya bukan tujuan wisata tapi referensi tempat menginap karena lokasinya persis di seberang Cicada Night Market. Hotelnya juga nyaman dan bisa buat bertiga/berempat sekamar. Yang paling saya suka karena pengaturan ruangnya semi open air jadi banyak udara segarnya :)




Ok that's it! Ada lagi sih beberapa tempat lainnya yang kami kunjugi, tapi di Bangkok hehehe.

Family Holiday at Club Med Bintan - Premium All Inclusive Resort

I just had family holiday at Club Med Bintan, on 14-17 December 2017. To be frankly honest, it was way more fun than I expected as a short weekday getaway. Definitely one of the best vacation that we ever had! Photo of us in Club Med Bintan by Sweet Escape Transportation from Jakarta to Bintan Island We flew on Thursday morning, 14 December by Garuda Indonesia from Terminal 3 Soekarno-Hatta International Airport to Tanjung Pinang Raja Haji Fisabillah International Airport. It was scheduled to be boarding at 10:30 but unfortunately got delayed for about an hour, so we arrived at around 1pm.  Transportation from Bintan airport to Bintan resort  At Bintan airport, a driver was already waiting with a sign board "Club Med". We then continued the journey by car, an hour long road without traffic jam at all. Not much to see along the way, most of it was some kind of deserted areas. But when we entered Lagoi area, it is green everywhere I see.  Arrival at ...

Broadway & Lo-Deh

We spent the afternoon around Alam Sutera today because my eldest had a hangout date with a friend. While dropping her off, I sneaked in a quick errand to Vintage Vibes Broadway to drop some preloved items. I’ve been consigning there for years now. It’s almost a ritual. End of year equals decluttering season. Sorting through things forces me to ask honest questions. Do I still need this or is it ready to have a new life with someone else. Some items get sold, some get donated, and somehow my head always feels lighter along with the shelves. While waiting, the youngest sat with daddy, wrestling numbers and fractions like a true year end plot twist. Math lessons in public spaces have their own soundtrack. Scribbling, deep sighs, and occasional I think I get it now followed by wait no I don’t. All that while sitting in front of coffee shop, ordered their signature coffee and tea, and our daughter bought iced chocolate from the shop next door.  When the hangout was done, we decided t...

Perawatan wajah dan cerita masa muda

Andaikata blog dan social media saya punya semacam FAQ (Frequently Asked Question, alias pertanyaan yang paling sering ditanyakan), sudah pasti di urutan pertama akan bertengger pertanyaan: "Pakai produk perawatan wajah apa?"  Banyaaaakkk banget follower instagram / facebook / twitter saya yang nanya gitu, dan minta saya mengulasnya. Saya bilang sabar, tunggu tanggal mainnya. Tapi sebelum saya jawab pertanyaan itu, saya mau mengenang masa muda dulu ah..  Jadi begini cucuku... Waktu pertama kali ngeblog 15 tahun lalu , usia saya masih 21 (yak silakan dihitung usia saya sekarang berapa, pinterrrr). Jadi jangan heran kalo gaya bahasanya masih 4I_aY 4b3zzz.. (eh ga separah itu juga sih, hehe). Tapi ekspresi nulisku di masa-masa itu masih pure banget, nyaris tanpa filter. Jadi kalo dibaca lagi sampai sekarang pun masih berasa seru sendiri. Kayak lagi nonton film dokumenter pribadi. Kadang bikin ketawa ketiwi sendiri, kadang bikin mikir, kadang bi...

Roadtrip With No Deadline and Plenty of Snacks

Road trip day! We hit the road at 8 a.m., thirty minutes later than planned. But honestly, who cares? There was no deadline, no race to win. As long as everyone was accounted for and nothing important was left behind, we were good. Bonus point: I actually slept well the night before, which meant as the navigator of this journey, wasn’t half-asleep behind the wheel feels like small but crucial victory. Our first stop was at 9:30 a.m. at KM 57 rest area . The reason was simple and non-negotiable: coffee. My husband also needed to stop to do some office transfers, because work apparently travels with you now. While he was busy, I took Coffee Kenangan promo : buy two Toffee Nut Lattes , get one Americano free. Perfect timing, because my mom had specifically requested an Americano. Total damage: 50k. Cheap joy is still joy. While my husband was still glued to his phone, I dragged my mom to participate at Jasa Marga survey . The prize? An umbrella. She was ridiculously happy because, surpri...

Year End Reflection Ritual : 2025 - 2026

I came across Mel Robbins’ year end reflection ritual, six questions she has been answering for the past twenty two years. Six questions sound harmless, almost cute. Like a magazine quiz that ends with “you are a sunflower.” But once I started answering them honestly, I realized this was not a personality test. This was an emotional audit. Let’s start with the hardest one. The low points of the year. There were some. Actually, quite plenty. I can say this without drama now, but 2025 has been my lowest year since 2013. That year taught me survival. This year tested endurance. One of the heaviest moments came quietly, from a place I never expected to reach our home. It felt like standing in the middle of a storm that wasn’t ours to begin with, yet somehow found us anyway. My husband chose to stay when it would have been easier to leave, to keep holding the bridge together so others could cross safely. Opportunities passed by, shiny and tempting, but he remained where he believed responsi...

Christmas, Cake, and a 45 Year Old Legend

Merry Christmas and happy 45th birthday to my amazing husband! The yin to my yang. The calm app to my permanently open tabs.  Year 2025 really said, “Let’s test you,” didn’t it?   Testing limits, patience, and faith all at once. So here’s my prayer for the new year. More luck. More ease. More people loving you. And above all, God’s blessing wrapped around you like bubble wrap. Amen. The day started exactly how every memorable family day should. With chaos. From BSD , we had to swing by Jagakarsa first. The main mission was innocent enough. Pick up pre ordered bread from my former neighbor. Secondary mission, collect a giant burger from Ken’s Burger for birthday candle blowing purposes. Because nothing says “happy 45th” like a burger pretending to be a cake. But of course, upon arrival, another neighbor was about to leave for mudik . So we talked. And talked. And kept talking while repeatedly saying, “We really have to go,” yet not moving at all. Our Dutch tenant had alrea...

Full Plates, Full Agendas

Ladies’ day out with Mba Fit usually begins with me doing nothing but being picked up. At around 09:20, she arrived in the lobby carrying not gossip, but food. The best kind of opening. She handed me a Wegogrill package filled with frozen chicken sausages and their signature smoked chicken—no flour, no sugar, no MSG, no eggs, no milk. Healthy and genuinely tasty. Thank you, Mba Fit and Wegogrill! Next stop: Itjeher Salon . The plan was straightforward. I did creambath and blow, Mba Fit did creambath and manicure. Unfortunately, this time my experience was not as good as the usual. The massage lacked soul, the blowout lacked commitment, and the final result lacked longevity. By the time I stepped outside, my hair had already given up on life. Better remember the good therapist's name next time! After that, hunger took over, as it always does. We headed confidently to Ramu Saji by Ashoka , our usual safe space. Only to be greeted by a sign that said Tutup. Closed. So we pivoted, li...

A Day Off from Motherhood

Happy Mother’s Day ! This year, I asked for nothing. No flowers, no cake with dramatic candles, no surprise gifts. I simply announced to my husband and children, very calmly and very firmly: today, I am on leave from being a mother. Full holiday. Zero duties. Which meant no cooking, no dishwashing, no laundry sorting, no reminding anyone of anything. And to my surprise, they took it seriously. Like…   seriously   seriously. The kitchen was fully taken over. Meals were planned, cooked, and served. The laundry from the service? Sorted and packed for our upcoming road trip. They even tidied up   before   the Ranger Clean Sheet team arrived, so the ranger could handle the things they couldn’t or simply didn’t want to do. Teamwork, delegation, project management . I was impressed. My husband, who once treated dishwashing like a personal enemy, suddenly became the most diligent man in the room. Yes, we have a dishwasher. Yes, he still washed all the big pots and pans by ha...
