Asked about the destination, Hua Hin, David Martens from Centara Grand Hua Hin commented: “Hua-Hin is a spectacular seaside town within just a 3 hour drive from Bangkok. It serves as a good space for wedding ceremonies, with soft natural light, as it faces east, making for a great option for a beach destination wedding. For Centara Grand Hua Hin, the hotel itself boasts that charming old-world feel as it was restored to its original elegance of 1923. When combined with its perfect seaside location, Centara Grand Hua Hin makes your wedding truly unique and unforgettable.”
