Hua Hin is generally a safe and welcoming city for tourists, especially compared to other parts of Thailand. However, as in any other city, it is important to be vigilant in busy areas such as the night market to avoid pickpocketing. It is also recommended to avoid secluded or poorly lit areas during the night. Finally, do not go swimming during the monsoon season as the sea can get rough, especially in areas without a lifeguard station.
