Originally known as the Railway Hotel, the first class resort accommodated visitors
to King Rama VI's Summer Palace. Centara Hotels & Resorts acquired it 1985
and has displayed the historical past in the hotel's own museum
with artifacts and antiques. The Architect Association of Thailand gave the hotel an award
for Outstanding Conservation in a category dedicated to preserving historic Thai buildings.
The location has also been used as a setting for several Hollywood films,
most notably the Oscar nominated 'The Killing Fields'.
The Railway Hotel welcomes everyone.
You don't have to stay here overnight just to be the guests of the hotel,
but you can just come here for food, especially this signature colonial afternoon tea
They're open for guests every day in the afternoon
They have special kind of scones, bakeries, and specialty of teas.
And, the atmosphere is just like in the past.
They have the museum where things in the past in the hotel have been well preserved.
Here at the museum, it's really interesting to see the things that they used to use
in the hotel since 1923 when the hotel was first opened.
For example, like cutleries here for guests...which are considered very luxurious at that time...or tea strainer.
Hello! Hello! Before we have Google and Facebook, they had this for communication.
And here! The Old Father's Clock.
Welcome to MahaSamutr!
I'm still in Huahin now, but what you see here is not the actual sea. It's the man-made sea.
Because this is the high-end private club here in Huahin, situated in Huahin Soi 112.
Although it's not yet complete, members can already come here to enjoy water sports.
Wonderful Atmosphere. This is our first launch of the lagoon. Very first time for people to have seen it.
It's a man-made lagoon and a man-made beach. The beauty is that it's crystal clear every day of the year.
And no jellyfish. The reason that it's this colour because there's no tile. It's a white liner, so reflects the sky.
So, look up! It's the same colour as the sky. You can watersport. But there's enough wind, you can windsurf.
These guys have been windsurfing all day.
There're gonna 80 Villas like this built all around the lagoon.
But the most important part is right here, This Club House. It's gonna be a massive Club House with 10 restaurants,
spas, hotel rooms for the guests.
The fact that it's so close to the sea, only two hours from Bangkok. They can come to Huahin to relax in this beautiful environment.
But what we like about this is it's all over one roof.
So, it's not like driving one place for dinner and somewhere else to play tennis and golf.
It's in one location, and it's private. Not everybody, only members, can come in. So, it's very exclusive community.
Our chef is a 3-star Michelin chef. He's French. He comes from Capris and Hong Kong, at The Four Seasons.
His name is Chef Vincent.
He's our overwriting corporate chef for all of our company. He'll be the one directing
the culinary direction for MahaSamutr. We have our own executive chef here.
But, he's kind of the visionary of the culinary.
