Thai Fruit Festival

Since May is the season of fruit harvesting in Thailand and the month of a long school vacation, the Tourism Authority of Thailand, thus, initiates a travel campaign to agricultural areas so as to promote the agricultural products nationwide

Koh Singto

This small island is situated just off the coast of Khao Takiab and its name literally means "Lion Island" as the shape resembles a crouching lion.

It's a worthwhile spot to visit and boat trips out to it can be arranged in the fishing village of Khao Takiab. The island has decent rock formations and is good for underwater exploration, particularly while snorkelling. Fishing and sailing can also be enjoyed around the island.

Some operators will organise day trips to Koh Singto, Koh Tao and Koh Nok, then heading for the beach at Haad Sai Noi. Fishing tackle, bait, deckchairs and umbrellas for the beach, a picnic lunch, soft drinks and transfers to your hotel, if necessary, are included in the price. The duration of the trip is approximately 5 hours.

Half-day trips to the island can be arranged from a local ticket office and the price is 300 Baht per person.
Excursions depart Bangsaphan at 9.00am and return at 1.00pm. Try to avoid weekends when things can get really busy. Alternatively, you can charter your own boat and 2,000 Baht should be enough for you to find your own "private location".
You can also book trips to Koh Talu direct from Hua Hin however there is around 3 hours travelling each way invloved.
Inland, tropical evergreen rainforest covers the island and trekking is possible. Other activities include kayaking and sailing but most of these are arranged by the sole resort on the island.

Koh Talu scuba diving and snorkelling

Koh Talu has lovely palm fringed beaches and a shallow reef that is ideal for snorkelling.
Fish life is thriving and you'll see parrotfish, wrasse, seargent major fish and a good variety of hard coral.
It is the closest place to Hua Hin that you can go scuba diving, depths are around 14 meters max and visibility ranges from 5 to 15 meters. It is ideal for beginners as currents are slight and there is some good coral formations a little deeper and surrounding the smaller islands off Koh Talu.
