Many exhibitors will offer exclusive promotions and discounts on products and services, available only during the Expo on 14 and 15 November.
An event for the whole Hua Hin community
Jonathan Fairfield, Editor-in-Chief of Hua Hin Today, said the Expo had been developed to reflect Hua Hin’s changing character and bring the wider community together.
“Hua Hin has always been a popular place to visit, but today it offers much more than that. Both Thais and foreigners are choosing to make Hua Hin their home, whether to raise families, start businesses, invest or enjoy their retirement.”
He added: “We wanted to create an event that brings all these different aspects of Hua Hin together in one place. This is an event for the whole community, for Thai residents just as much as the international community. Whether you have lived here for years or are considering moving here, the Expo should help you discover something new.”
