Each year in August, Hua Hin hosts a colourful yachting regatta when upwards of 300 competitors take part in a number of different classes for various prizes.
It's great entertainment and takes place at Hua Hin Naval Yacht Club near Klai Kangwong Palace and along the beach close to The Sofitel Hotel.

In November each year at Pranburi, which is some 30km south of Hua Hin, there is dragon boat racing. Teams compete against each other over a 1km long stretch of the Pranburi River and it's really great fun to watch.
The competition is taken seriously and teams will practice regularly for months in advance.
