This hotel has a beautiful setting and was perfectly situated about 200 meters from where my husband took his kite surfing lessons. There was plenty of space for lounging in the sun that didn't require getting up at 6AM to claim a spot. The room was beautifully decorated, spacious and quiet making for a sound sleep at night. The location... More

This hotel is in a lovely setting and the staff is very friendly. You have your choice to sit poolside or to sit overlooking the beach, or to sit on the beach, all of which are delightful with your choice of umbrellas, sun, etc. The location is great with an easy walk to restaurants, bars, shopping, etc. Our adult kids...

We had the most amazing three night/four day stay at Baan Bayan in January 2013. It was my third stay in the last 15 months. This 21-room boutique hotel offers the charm of a historic family home with the amenities of a small resort and incredible service overseen by its manager, Mr. Tawat.

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
Baan Bayan was originally built in the early 1900s. Facing Hua Hin’s white sandy beach, it has the undeniably superb location in one of the most sought after areas there. Baan Bayan forever catches the eyes of passersby with its hundred-year old frangipani tree, its spacious veranda together with its carved eaves and railings embracing the house. Originally a family’s summer retreat, Baan Bayan was one among many summer beach houses owned by Royal Highness Prince Devawongse Varopakarn. Built during the early period of construction of Hua Hin town and railway station, the house had been handed down to Princess Absornsamarn, consort of Royal Highness Chantaburi Naruenart, before being sold to Khun Prabha Chaiyawat on 1 April 1952. The house was then renamed Baan Bayan, as coined by Ya-Khob, the renowned Thai writer. In the past, Baan Bayan was regularly visited by Khun Prabha, her children and grandchildren and great grandchildren. Its charm and ambience render feelings of warmth and happiness in its simplest form. Not only does Baan Bayan hold its value as a rare architectural building, but it also reminds those very fond of the house of times passed and memories still cherished. Today, it is one of the rarest and finest examples of a golden teak Thai style bungalow house, lovingly restored to its former glory. Baan Bayan was awarded the prestigious Historical Architectural Conservation Award in 2005 by the Association of Siamese Architects (ASA) under the Royal Patronage. Guests staying at Baan Bayan can experience the glory of a bygone era, yet with all of today’s modern comforts and amenities. It is positioned as a small exclusive luxury beach hotel offering the charm of a traditional Thai aristocratic beach house. Baan Bayan will allow guests to sink back into a history rich with associations of the swinging, glorious 1920/30’s. Guests who have a desire to experience history and culture and seek a different vacation venue will appreciate the atmosphere at Baan Bayan. Advantageously, the resort is only a few minutes away from Hua Hin town center, market, and airport. ... more   less
