Hua Hin Marriott Stresses Distance from Thai Turmoil

While Bangkok remains in a state of political unrest, a century-old beach resort three hours' drive down the gulf is reporting "business as usual." "Nothing's changed here in Hua Hin," said Boyd Barker, general manager of the Hua Hin Marriott Resort & Spa. "It's as peaceful as it's ever been. In fact, if anything, it's the most peaceful than it's ever been. We've had some cancellations strictly because some people don't feel comfortable flying into Bangkok, even though the action is miles away from Suvarnabhumi Airport. Access to Hua Hin couldn't be easier," said Barker. "Land and head west. Bangkok is 22 kilometers (13 miles) east of the airport the opposite direction you'd go if you were trying to get to Hua Hin."
