We work online from Bangkok, and we have built the site for a business that runs retreats in Hua Hin. Send your business name on LINE and we will check, free, where you show up on the map.
Searching in Hua Hin rises and falls with the week. Midweek, Bangkok picks a place to stay; on Friday evening it looks for the first dinner; on Saturday, cafés and things to do; on Sunday afternoon, something to take home on the way back. On a long weekend it all spikes at once.
The places that win these days are the ones whose profile shows the right hours for that day, and whose latest post is about this weekend rather than last month's offer.
In a town people visit in waves, the profile has to answer before anyone asks: open on the holiday, pets allowed, parking or not. On Local SEO we set the special hours before every public holiday.
Silvertide Retreats runs wellness retreats in Bangkok and Hua Hin. We built their one-page English site, titled "Wellness Retreats in Bangkok & Hua Hin" so the service and both places sit in the first line, with every package and price written as text Google can read.
Looking for a web designer for a Hua Hin business? This is the kind of work we do. If your business works in both Bangkok and Hua Hin, a page title and headings that name both help searchers from either city find the same page. Google profiles, though, follow the real places where you receive customers.
The three towns sit on the same road, Phetkasem, but Google weighs distance, so someone searching in Cha-am sees Cha-am first. Cha-am is in a different province from Hua Hin, too.
| Town | Province | Who searches | What the profile should say |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cha-am | Phetchaburi | Thai families, condos and holiday homes | The distance to the beach, parking, holiday prices |
| Hua Hin | Prachuap Khiri Khan | Bangkok weekenders and long-stay foreigners | Holiday hours, and a description in Thai and English |
| Khao Takiab and Khao Tao | Prachuap Khiri Khan | People after a quieter beach, and long-stayers | How far it is from town, and what is nearby |
| Pranburi and Pak Nam Pran | Prachuap Khiri Khan | People heading for a quiet resort on purpose | Pages that answer the searches made before the trip, more than a map fight |
A business that travels to its customers, such as holiday-home cleaning or pool care, can list both Cha-am and Hua Hin as its service area. A business with a real shopfront in each town needs a profile for each.
Weekenders and long-stay residents look for different things in different places, so each trade starts somewhere else.
Thai guests like to ask on LINE before they pay: breakfast, parking, can the dog come? A site with every room, weekday and weekend rates and a LINE button answers them before they drift back to the booking app.

On Friday night the new arrivals look for seafood or wander the night markets, choosing on Google Maps and Wongnai by photos, prices and recent reviews. The evening hours have to be right, and your details the same everywhere.
Start with: a restaurant website
Retirees and long-stay residents look for a doctor, a dentist or a physio they can talk to in English, and they read carefully before booking. Keep the pages to the services, the staff, the hours and how to book, in English and Thai, with no promises about results.
Start with: a clinic website
Visitors take something home and look for a shop on the way out of town, often on a Sunday afternoon. The shop with its pin on the entrance, the right Sunday hours and parking wins them, and a web shop catches the ones who want to reorder from home.
Start with: an online shop
People moving to Hua Hin for months or years search for rentals in English all year. Give each home its own page with photos, the rent and the distance to the beach, the hospital and the golf course.
Start with: a property websiteA kitesurf school, a golf course, home care for retirees, a beach wedding venue: tell us about it in a chat and we will show you when your customers search, and with which words.
Hua Hin is a small market with lighter competition than Bangkok, so a well-kept profile has a real chance at the top three. It needs more care over hours and seasonal posts than most places, though. The monthly plans come without a contract.
More on each job: Local SEO, Google Business Profile setup and hotel and resort websites. Have a branch somewhere else? Find its city in this list.
Yes, on Local SEO. Before each public holiday we set that day's hours on your Google profile, so the map shows people the right hours. With the one-off profile setup, we fill in the coming holidays at setup, and after that the profile is yours to keep current.
If your customers come from there, yes. Cha-am is a separate town in Phetchaburi province, and Google weighs distance. A profile has one address: a real branch in each town needs a profile each, while a business that travels to customers can list both towns as its service area. A page about Cha-am on your site helps too, as long as it has something true to say.
Give them English to find. They search all year for everyday things: a dentist, a plumber, a gym, a house to rent. Your site needs English pages, your profile description should include English, and English reviews deserve English replies. Every package we build comes with Thai and English pages.
Yes, for people searching near you and for anyone who searches your name. Google weighs distance, so a resort in Pranburi will rarely top a search made in Hua Hin town, and listing a town address you do not use breaks Google's rules. Aim instead for searches that name Pranburi or Pak Nam Pran, and for the ones people make before leaving Bangkok, where a good website counts for more than distance.
By September, because map work takes two to three months and the long-stay crowd arrives in force from around November. Weekend trade from Bangkok runs all year, so for that there is no wrong month to start.
No. The whole job runs over LINE and email. For photos your own phone is usually enough, and we tell you which shots the site and the profile need.
