🗓️ Why choose a stay with a kitchen for a long stay in Hua Hin?
Hua Hin has become a favourite for snowbirds, remote workers and Bangkokians who want to escape the city and live by the sea for a month, since it's only a 2.5–3 hour drive from Bangkok. The catch with an ordinary nightly hotel is that it adds up fast over weeks, with nowhere to cook and nowhere to do laundry. The stays here are different — they're condos and serviced apartments with an in-room kitchen or kitchenette, a washing machine, and weekly or monthly rates, so you can cook your own meals, cut your food bill, and settle in with room to spread out like home. This article gathers 7 stays genuinely set up for the long haul, and is honest about which are beachfront, which sit a few blocks back, and which zones need a car. Prices are compared across 3 sites, with direct booking links.
🚇
Hua Hin has no BTS/MRT skytrain, but it does have the State Railway's southern line and the red-and-white Hua Hin railway station, the prettiest in Thailand. Getting here: drive from Bangkok in about 2.5–3 hours, take the Bangkok–Hua Hin train to the central station, or a bus/van from the new Southern terminal and Mo Chit. For a long stay it helps to have your own car or a rented scooter to do grocery runs; around town there are taxis, Grab and songthaews. The zones in this article: Central Hua Hin — the train station, night markets and Naresdamri Road, all walkable · Khao Takiab–Nong Kae — the long south beach, Cicada Market, the Khao Takiab monkey temple, Vana Nava water park, the BluPort mall · Cha-Am — quieter, a wide beach, about 25–30 minutes north of town · Pak Nam Pran — the quietest, right on the sea, about 30–40 minutes south, where you'll need a car.

📍 Soi Hua Hin 7, Petchkasem Road, Hua Hin, Prachuap Khiri Khan
A white-and-blue, Santorini-styled beachfront condo on Soi Hua Hin 7, developed by SC Asset and completed in 2013. It suits a long stay because the units are 1–3 bedrooms with a separate living area, a full kitchen with an oven and proper cookware, and an in-room washing machine, so you can cook and do laundry as you would at home. There are 5 themed pools spread across the grounds, and you can walk straight down to the front beach, with dozens of restaurants within walking distance. Many units are let monthly by their owners, so it's worth asking for a long-stay rate.
💡 Tip: Units are individually owned, so condition and kitchen kit vary — ask for photos of the actual unit and a list of the kitchen and laundry equipment before you book. For stays over a month, message the owner for a direct monthly rate, usually cheaper than stacking nightly bookings. It's a 5-minute drive to the night market and a Tops supermarket for groceries.
👍 Pros
- ✓ Spacious units with a full kitchen and a washing machine — cook and do laundry yourself
- ✓ Beachfront, with direct sand access from the grounds
- ✓ Five themed pools, a quiet setting
- ✓ Central location, 5-minute drive to markets and supermarkets
👎 Things to note
- ✗ Units are individually owned, so standards and kitchen kit differ between rooms
- ✗ A low-rise from 2013 — some wear shows in places

📍 Khao Takiab Beach Road, Nong Kae, Hua Hin, Prachuap Khiri Khan
A beachfront Khao Takiab condo by the Veranda group, completed in 2020 — five low-rise buildings with 270 units. What makes it work for a long stay is that the units have a kitchenette with a coffee machine, plus housekeeping and hotel-level service, including use of the facilities at the adjacent VERSO hotel. The draw is the beachfront infinity pool with a pool bar, alongside a sauna, gym, spa and an on-site cafe, with Khao Takiab beach a 4-minute walk away. You get the privacy of a condo with hotel service in one place.
💡 Tip: The 1-bedroom units have a kitchenette — fine for simple cooking but not large — so if you want to cook properly, choose a 2-bedroom with a bigger kitchen. For a long stay, ask the project's leasing office about monthly rates and whether utilities are billed separately. Khao Takiab is quieter than the old town, but the drive into town and to Cicada Market is short.
👍 Pros
- ✓ Units have a kitchenette plus hotel-style service — easy to settle in
- ✓ Lovely beachfront infinity pool with a pool bar, sauna and gym
- ✓ On Khao Takiab beach, a 4-minute walk to the sand
- ✓ High location score of 9.4, near Cicada Market and the monkey temple
👎 Things to note
- ✗ 1-bedroom units have a kitchenette, not a large kitchen
- ✗ In Nong Kae–Khao Takiab — a 10–15 minute drive to the old town

📍 Beach Road, Ban Bo Fai, Cha-Am, Phetchaburi
A beachfront Cha-Am condo by Sansiri, its sail-shaped towers and curved balconies meant to echo white waves — 13 buildings, 266 units. It works for a long stay because the units have a full kitchen with an oven and a microwave, so you can cook for yourself, alongside a beachfront pool you can walk straight off into the sand. It sits on the Cha-Am side, which is quieter with a wider beach than central Hua Hin, so it suits a calm extended stay away from the bustle. Units are owner-let, available nightly and monthly.
💡 Tip: Units are individually owned, so before a long booking ask for photos of the actual unit and check what the kitchen includes. The Cha-Am side needs a car — it's a 20–25 minute drive into Hua Hin town — but there are seafood spots and the Cha-Am market nearby. The Cha-Am beach is gentle, good for morning and evening walks.
👍 Pros
- ✓ Units have a full kitchen with an oven and a microwave
- ✓ Beachfront pool, direct sand access from the grounds
- ✓ The Cha-Am side is quiet with a wide beach — calm for a long stay
- ✓ Striking towers with extensive seafront common areas
👎 Things to note
- ✗ On the Cha-Am side — needs a car, 20–25 minutes into Hua Hin town
- ✗ Individually owned units, so standards vary between them

📍 Petchkasem Road, Nong Kae, Khao Takiab, Hua Hin, Prachuap Khiri Khan
A large resort-condo in Nong Kae, about 150 metres from the beach. It suits a family long stay because units have a kitchenette and an in-room washing machine, plus a water park and 8 pools that guests use for free, so the kids have somewhere to play all day at no extra cost. It's a 6-minute walk to Cicada Market and 7 minutes to the beach, near the BluPort mall and Vana Nava water park. Units are let by many different owners, the entry rates are easy on the wallet, and both nightly and monthly stays are available.
💡 Tip: It's a big project with units from many owners, so prices and condition vary a lot — read the reviews for the specific unit you book. The water park runs at limited times (often afternoons outside peak season), so check the schedule first. Having a car helps for a long stay — it's a 5-minute drive to a supermarket for groceries.
👍 Pros
- ✓ Units have a kitchenette and a washing machine — handy for a long stay
- ✓ Free water park and 8 pools, the kids can play all day
- ✓ Good location, walk to Cicada Market and the beach, near BluPort
- ✓ Low entry rates — good value for a family long stay
👎 Things to note
- ✗ Units come from many owners, so standards vary widely
- ✗ Busy on holidays — the water park and pools get queues

📍 Petchkasem Road, Nong Kae, Hua Hin, Prachuap Khiri Khan
A 26-storey Sansiri high-rise in Nong Kae, near the BluPort mall. It works for a long stay because units have a kitchen or kitchenette with an electric hob, rice cooker and full cookware, plus sea and mountain views from the upper floors. Its edge is the location — a 3–5 minute drive to BluPort and Market Village makes grocery and household shopping easy. Units are owner-let at reachable rates, available nightly and monthly, a good fit for a remote worker who wants a view and convenience.
💡 Tip: The sea views are partial, not beachfront — for a fuller view choose a high floor on the sea-facing side and ask about the aspect before booking. The building isn't on the beach, so you'll drive to the sand, but it's very close to the malls. For a long stay, ask the unit owner for a direct monthly rate.
👍 Pros
- ✓ Units have a kitchen with full cookware — cook for yourself
- ✓ High-rise with sea and mountain views from upper floors
- ✓ Near BluPort and Market Village, easy shopping
- ✓ Low entry rates with monthly options — good for remote work
👎 Things to note

📍 Petchkasem Road, central Hua Hin, Prachuap Khiri Khan
An 8-storey, Spanish-style low-rise condo in the centre of town on Petchkasem Road, next to Bangkok Hua Hin Hospital. It suits a car-free long stay because it's in town, a 10-minute walk to Market Village and the beach, and the units have a kitchenette with an electric hob, fridge and microwave for simple cooking. The studios are done in a bright teal palette with a sofa, a dining table and a balcony. There are 2 outdoor pools and a gym, making it a fit for a couple or solo traveller who wants a central long stay with shops and restaurants all around.
💡 Tip: Units are run by several owners and managers (by Holiyay, by Jessie and others) — pick a well-reviewed host and ask for photos of the actual unit. Being central, you won't need a car and can walk to the market and beach, but it's on a main road, so choose an inner-facing unit for quiet. For a long stay, ask the manager for a direct monthly rate.
👍 Pros
- ✓ Central location, walk to markets and the beach — no car needed
- ✓ Units have a kitchenette plus a sitting area
- ✓ Two pools and a gym on a low budget
- ✓ A fit for a couple or solo traveller on a central long stay
👎 Things to note
- ✗ Studios and 1-bedrooms with a small kitchenette — not for heavy cooking
- ✗ On Petchkasem Road, so road-facing units can get traffic noise

aBook via Agoda B.Booking.com tTrip.com 🍳 Kitchenette with cookware🏖️ Beachfront Pak Nam Pran, gentle waves🏊 Seafront pool + mountain views🗓️ Monthly rates available
📍 Pak Nam Pran, Pranburi, Prachuap Khiri Khan
A beachfront condo at Pak Nam Pran, about 30–40 minutes south of Hua Hin town. It suits the quietest kind of long stay because it sits right on Pak Nam Pran beach, which is gentler and quieter than Hua Hin, and the units have a kitchenette with cookware, plus a seafront pool set against the mountains. It's an older building (opened in 2009), the rooms clean but not brand-new, the trade-off for a quiet beachfront spot at a low rate. You'll need a car, since it's well out of town, with Pak Nam Pran seafood spots nearby and Sam Roi Yot National Park close — a fit for someone escaping the city to genuinely live by the sea.
💡 Tip: Pak Nam Pran is a quiet zone and you'll need a car — it's a 30–40 minute drive into Hua Hin town — so plan bigger grocery runs. It's an older building, so ask for photos of the actual unit and check the kitchen kit before a long booking. Sam Roi Yot is nearby, a fit if you like nature and quiet.
👍 Pros
- ✓ Right on Pak Nam Pran beach, gentle waves, far quieter than Hua Hin
- ✓ Units have a kitchenette, and a seafront pool with mountain views
- ✓ Lowest entry rates on the list, with monthly options
- ✓ Near Sam Roi Yot — for escaping the city to live by the sea
👎 Things to note
- ✗ At Pak Nam Pran, well out of town — needs a car, 30–40 min to Hua Hin
- ✗ Building opened in 2009 — clean but not new, kitchen kit varies by unit
