Abstract
This article aims to study on 3 topics. 1) to understand the background of Hua Hin, 2) to study tourism development in Hua Hin and 3) to propose an appropriate management plan for sustainable tourism.The research method is based on documentation and site observation to explore history and a rapid growth of tourism in Hua Hin. The result of the study revealed that the community in Hua Hin was founded as a community in the reign of King Rama III and grew further during the construction of the southern railways,which was at the end of the reign of King Rama V and the beginning of the reign of King Rama VI. The prosperity of the community went along with the development of the southern railway and Hua Hin became a well-known town. Tourism development by the government from the past until present has developed the transportation system to be more comfortable, which led to an increase in the number of visitors. Hua Hin may face congestion and overcrowded along with other problems such as economic, social and environmental problems including the change of physical of the town, if there is not an appropriate management and sustainability plan.
