Soi Hua Hin 101, Hua Hin

Soi Hua Hin 101 is a side road south of the Hua Hin town center, close to the beach and several resorts. The district lists beach bars, a hotel bar, massage shops, markets and a mall. It is a short ride from Soi Bintabaht.

Quiet and beach-leaning. The evening is about beach bars, a hotel fountain bar and a market stroll, with a mix of resort guests and long-stayers. It is calmer than the town center and has no red-light strip. Visitors who want a late bar crowd usually head back into the center afterwards.

No. Soi Hua Hin 101 lists no red-light hub, gogo bars, beer bars or clubs. The adult-adjacent listings are three massage shops: Leon Thai Massage, Let's Relax and Popular Massage by Tita. The town center's Soi Bintabaht is the nearest bar lane.

Of 14 places, 8 are bars, 3 are massage shops, 2 are markets and 1 is a mall. The bars include Contento Beach Bar, Bunker Bar, La Birra and the Fountain Bar at Hyatt Regency Hua Hin. It is a small, easy-going list.

Soi Hua Hin 101 is smaller and calmer, with 14 listings against 33, and has beach bars where the center has Soi Bintabaht's pubs. The center is better for a night out, and 101 is better for a beachside drink.

Stay here for a beach resort feel and a peaceful base, and ride into the center for the pubs. A sunset drink at a beach bar is a good start. Ask your hotel about guests before you book. Beachfront rooms here suit couples and long-stayers more than a typical bar-hopping trip.

From the town center, take a taxi, songthaew or Grab, as the soi is a short ride south. Hua Hin itself is reached from Bangkok by road, rail or bus, so most visitors arrive in the center first and ride out. Agree fares first when a ride is not booked in an app.

Fewer people and fewer rides. The soi is quiet late, so arrange your trip back before you finish. Check hotel-bar prices before ordering and look at a massage shop's front before going in. Hire any scooter carefully, since the soi is dark in places and traffic moves quickly.
