It seemed like a nice golf course development
Wondering if anyone has any more information about the residential community there or if any readers are residents there.
There's plenty of information about the golf course.
We'd be interested in finding out if Palm Hills would be a good place to buy property and build a house...some of the pros and cons.
Thanks

Hi Norris,
I used to live in Hua Hin for several years and now I`m staying in Pranburi, just 15 miles away to the South.
As already mentioned Palm Hills is 6 miles or so outside Hua Hin Centre and belongs already to Cha Am (province Petchburi).
They have a good golf course, but there are some equal or even better ones in the same area. And in my opinion the houses at Palm Hills are somewhat too expensive regarding what they are offering for the money.
Hua Hin is the oldest beach resort in Thailand and His Majesty is having its summer residence there. Anyway, its not for the rich Thais as somebody wrote. Plenty of normal people are coming for the weekend from Bangkok. And Hua Hin is also having a big Expat community, most of them retired Scandinavians. During the peak season from November to February it is quite crowded by tourists. Also most of those Scandies.
