Can even view during the day.

I presume you mean the extra-terrestrial stars, rather than terrestrial stars.

Most of the area around Hua Hin is adversely impacted by lighting. Have even driven out towards the mountains, about 2-3 kms past the by-pass road, but still too much light.

The best close place I have found is down Soi 105; drive towards Pran Buri, turn left at Soi 105, go across the railway tracks and turn right at the junction on the road that leads to Pak Nam Pran. About 3-4 kms along the road there is little impact from lighting; if you get to the bridge over the river, you have gone too far. Can see the Milky Way easily, on a moonless night, as long as your eyes are still functioning well.

Good luck and good viewing.

Take her to Kaeng Krachan National park on an overnight trip. Camp with her on a clear night, its far enough away from lights.

Take her down to Wacoa <-sp) It's down by Prechuip Kirican. They have the royal space museum and observatory complete with telescope. Nice little beach resorts to stay at also.
