One of my favourite spots around Hua Hin has finally lost the battle with the development of a new housing complex right on the beach. Turtle Hill Residence will turn a quiet little bay with one of the best beaches for miles into a suburban nightmare. The construction alone will have a vast impact on the surrounding area which up until quite recently was completely natural. That said, half the beach still remains so if you get the chance get down there while it still lasts, the sea is clear and deep, ideal for swimming and there are still a couple of good local restaurants on the beach - who knows when they will be replaced by a Seven-11 to service the new inhabitants of “Turtle Hill”.
