Thailand: The rocky northern end of Hua Hin Beach (Hat Hua Hin), Hua Hin, Prachuap Khiri Khan Province. In 1868 King Mongkut began a tradition of royal association with Hua Hin - at the time a tiny fishing village - when he travelled there to observe a total eclipse of the sun. In 1910 Prince Chula Chakrabongse, a brother of King Rama VI, visited Hua Hin on a hunting trip, and was so delighted with the location that he built a holiday villa there. In the early 1920s he was followed by King Vajiravudh (Rama VI) himself, who ordered the construction of a teakwood palace called 'Deer Park'.
