Level up your Easter weekend

BBQ season is here

Today, I would like to take you on a journey into the dark green twilight of the tropical Andes…where a raging mountain torrent weaves its way between the rocks. Where foamy water thunders down into the depths of a rock gorge. Where the branches of the trees are covered with decorative carpets of orchids, ferns, bromeliads, mosses and lichens. For, it is in this mysterious world that you can encounter one of the most iconic birds in all of Latin America – the Andean Cock-of-the-rock.

Set along the tranquil Gulf of Thailand coastline, the Hua Hin Marathon 2026 is set to return on 10 May, offering runners the opportunity to combine athletic ambition with environmental purpose. 

Organised by the Preserve Hua Hin Group, which is led by globally acclaimed wellness destination Chiva-Som, the marathon attracts local and international runners who seek not only the exhilaration of the race but also the chance to support local conservation efforts, including the preservation of Krailart Niwate, Hua Hin’s last remaining urban mangrove.
