Hua Hin
Khao Hin Lek Fai, or Flint Mountain, is 162 m high and is accessible by road. On foot it's an energetic walk. On the mountaintop, there is a public park and scenic spots that look over Hua Hin and the sea. Lots of monkeys like to hang out around the park too. Good spot for sunrise.

A note before you go. Start with Nightly Street Market, then decide whether Khao Hin Lek Fai deserves a separate visit rather than rushing both. The suggested days are an editable grouping, not a timed tour. Visit allowances exclude transfers, meals and queues; confirm the exact entrance and current visiting arrangements for Tennis before setting off.
Reference material retrieved 2026-10-19. Suggested days and time allowances are editorial starting points. Check the linked visitor information for opening hours, access, and reservations.
BEFORE YOU SET OFF
Most visitors rely on the regular green songthaews that run up and down Phetkasem Road all day at about 10-minute intervals. Their northern terminus is the fresh market in town centre; in the south they turn about in Khao Takiap. Songthaews service Phetkasem north of the central market, but with less frequency. There are many motorcycle taxis and tuk-tuks, fewer car taxis. You may also be able to find samlors (rickshaws) in town centre. Alternatively, you can use Grab for car taxi and motorcycle taxi. Hua Hin is flat, and bicycling is a good way to get around.
Nightly Street Market and Khao Hin Lek Fai are about 1.4 km apart in a straight line. Use the route link to compare the actual streets or transport connections before putting both in the same morning; the measurement is not a walking distance or a transfer estimate.
