Hua Hin Hot Air Balloon Festival | Image Credit

That rare moment when you almost touch the sky is what most nature aficionados would ache for. But that is no longer a dream if you visit Hua Hin between February and March. The balloon festival held during this time encourages a mass influx of tourists to Hua Hin. The skies and the weather are just perfect for the festival.

The city of Hua Hin takes on a bright hue as the balloon festival slowly takes off. Starting as early as 7 am you will be travelling alongside three or four passengers along with the professional balloonist. The professional balloonist has no control over steering the balloon, which goes in the direction that it wants. Instead the balloonist only handles the balloon. Guests who want to take part in the festival can stay at a number of hotels in Hua Hin. Beach resorts such as Anantara Hua Hin Resort, among many others in the area are more convenient to stay at as opposed to travelling in from another town, especially for those who want to patronize the festival throughout the February and March period.
Inside the balloon, you will not only get the services of a professional balloonist, but also a champagne breakfast with jazz music, along with a memorable certificate as well as pictures of your journey.

Wherever the balloon takes you, it will be through the picturesque spots of Hua Hin Hill Vineyard. That experience is hard to witness elsewhere in the world. If you are looking for a balloon journey that lasts more than one hour, pay a bit more and you will get what you want. A balloon journey of a prolonged duration could be ideal as a romantic date activity regardless of whether you are a honeymooning couple or one that is merely looking forward to an experience that will help bring you two closer together.
