There is an interesting commercial street in Hua Hin that combines the charms of the yesteryears of Thailand with the very famous Thai shopping experience. It is called the Plearnwan. The Plearnwan was created with Hua Hin’s tourists in mind and just as intended, tourists love this place. With a classical charm in both architecture and ambience, Hua Hin’s history is so beautifully illustrated and that is not all; the plenty of shopping outlets adorning Plearnwan promises a shopping experience that is truly one of a kind.

Plearnwan literally lives up to its name; ‘Plearn’ meaning enjoy and ‘Wan’ meaning the yesteryears. The entire concept behind its structure and design is retro and historical and the shopping experience is the cherry on the top. The premises’ popularity over the years has turned it into a wholesome entertainment destination and it now includes plenty of restaurants and cafes, salons, massage centres, an open air cinema, an exciting Ferris Wheel and other interesting attractions for both children and adults.

The large wooden entrance itself gives you the feeling of walking into a giant castle way back in time. Once you step inside it is certainly a blast from the past. Even the names of the stores have an age old charm here, all reliving the yesteryears in perfect detail.

There is always a live band performing that strikes just the right balance between subtle and vibrant. If you are into beverages, coffee in particular, head over to Plearnwan Coffee as it prepares all its beverages using interesting old fashioned methods. You can also try the Chai Lai Boutique as it is quite famous for its range of colourful clothes and a nostalgic ambience. The most popular outlet in Plearnwan is its snack store. Here you can try out all the traditional Thai snacks that are not easy to find elsewhere and therefore tourists just simply love this place.

While staying in the area, choose the Anantara Hua Hin Thailand Resort. This hotel Hua Hin has is known for its luxurious style. Without a doubt it is the finest of the Hua Hin hotels that one could come home to.
