best Locations with water
for Photoshoots & Family Fun
Calling all families exploring Hua Hin with kids!
Hands down, the go-to spot for a photo shoot in Hua Hin is the beach, obviously :)! You're spoiled for choice with so many stunning beaches in Hua Hin and its surroundings. Unsurprisingly, many families opt for the beach right by their hotel—it's convenient and makes perfect sense. After all, who wouldn't want to capture those sun-kissed moments by the shore, have lush green gardens, and (if lucky) a stylish hotel to be photographed at?
There are many other options for the more adventurous, or if you are not staying at the beachside. Our favourites are Khao Takiab, Sai Noi and Cha Am Beach. Each beach has something else to offer:
offers a mix of landscapes, giving you plenty of options for your photoshoot:
Variety of Scenery: Khao Tao offers a mix of landscapes, giving you plenty of options for your photoshoot. We get the beach, the sea, a mountain backdrop, village life, a reservoir, and temples—pretty much everything you could ask for!
Beach: Picture-perfect Khao Tao beach boasts soft sand and shallow waters, making it a safe and fun playground for the little ones to get candid shots of your kids enjoying the water.
Mountain: The Khao Tao hill in the background adds a touch of grandeur. We use it as a backdrop or go up to the temple viewpoint; the views are breathtaking!
Wat Tham Khao Tao: Perched atop the mountain, Wat Khao Tao temple adds cultural flair and intricate architectural details to your photos. Talk about stunning!
Relaxed Atmosphere: Unlike the bustling Hua Hin beach, Khao Tao offers a laid-back vibe with fewer crowds, ensuring a calm and peaceful photoshoot experience.Safe Waters: The shallow waters of Khao Tao Beach are perfect for little ones to splash around in—no need to worry about deep waters here!
With all these fantastic features, it is a favourite for memorable and fun-filled photoshoots with your kids. We'll capture it all, from beach scenes to cultural landmarks—and more!

Sai Noi Beach is known and loved for its sands, crystal-clear waters, and intriguing rock formations, which offer diverse natural settings for photos.
Beach: Super soft sand makes this beach unique, even though it is relatively small.
Quieter Environment: Sai Noi Beach is less developed and attracts fewer tourists. This creates a tranquil atmosphere for our photo shoot, allowing us to capture genuine, candid moments of your family.
Perfect for Sand Fun: The soft, inviting sand at Sai Noi Beach is an ideal playground for children to build sandcastles, dig trenches, and mess around. These playful activities offer endless opportunities for adorable and authentic photos.
Time to Explore: The rocky terrain along the beach adds an element of excitement and adventure to our photo shoot. With careful supervision, these rocky outcrops can serve as unique and captivating backdrops for your family portraits.
Good For: Families with older kids & adventurous types

Good For: Literally everyone, but perfect with younger kids
The region of Hua Hin, including the inland area and Pranburi, is home to numerous river spots. Some of these spots feature thrilling slides, swinging ropes, lianes over water, and floating boards, while others are peaceful and quiet, with only the sound of the water and the birds.
For little kids, there are spots where you can wade in, splash around, and refresh on a hot day. Our favourite river spot features unique tall tree roots, which make it the best place to pose for portraits and epic family photos alike.
Beautiful afternoon sun filters through the treetops and provides fantastic backlight. This is a spot for sensitive people who prefer privacy and feel alive in nature. It is safe for toddlers and shaded.
Some Hua Hin hotels offer day passes, granting guests access to pools and other facilities for a fee and/or with minimum spending. Since offers change sometimes, it's wise to check before booking. Weekdays and quieter daytime are preferable for photoshoots at these venues.
