| content=There are at least two post offices in Hua Hin. One in town centre on Soi 61 and a larger one adjacent to the Roong Reuang Coach Terminal about 7 km north of town on Phetkasem Rd. The central office has a Poste Restante window, so if you need to have mail sent to you in Thailand this is a possibility. The larger of the two post offices handles bulk shipments like motorbikes.

There are a number of English-language publications, offering a variety of styles, as well as information and entertainment. Long-time visitors to the town will have been familiar with the free monthly [http://www.observergroup.net ''Hua Hin Observer''] magazine found around the town, but in Jan 2010, this became an on-line-only publication. Another monthly publication is the [http://www.huahintoday.com/ ''Hua Hin Today''] newspaper which can be a little dry for tourists, as it contains plenty of local government and local dignitaries news along with details of the latest infrastructure projects and housing developments. Its on-line presence is more of a portal for international news and selling property than a local site. More of interest to tourists is the widely available free weekly
[http://www.awolonline.net ''AWOL'' newspaper], which is a mixture of entertaining true and not-so-true stories, typical tabloid content such as a page 3 girl and sports coverage, and major local news stories. ''AWOL's'' website
includes a discussion forum, free classifieds and all their back issues to download. The longest established local Internet forum is
[http://www.huahinafterdark.com ''Hua Hin After Dark''] which is a valuable source of information for both tourists and expats alike, although its slightly cliquey attitude can be off-putting, and discussions can often turn into playground squabbles.

There are a number of other printed publications and Internet sites relating to Hua Hin, but they are mostly concerned with selling or renting property, or promoting another local business. There are also a couple of non-English language publications with a small distribution.
