Just west of Hua Hin town, in the tranquility of the mountainous Thai countryside, lies the vineyards of Monsoon Valley. Traditionally not a wine-producing country, Thailand now has a number of vineyards in several locations and the wines from Hua Hin have won several medals in international competitions. Visit Monsoon Valley to learn about Thai wine-making, taste the products, indulge in a delicious lunch and tour the valley on elephant-back. The 40-minute drive up to the vineyards is part of the experience, winding through scenic countryside and traditional Thai villages.
