Read moreMy wife and I staying at Centara Grand Beach Hua Hin. During our stay we visited the museum several times. It must be stated that the location is a must visit destination when in Hua Hin, Open Thursday to Monday from 10am to 6pm, serving delicious cakes, cookies, Pastries and full range of beverages.
