PRACHUAP KHIRI KHAN: The mayor of Hua Hin has a dream to build a tower on a mountain as a new tourist attraction.

Hua Hin mayor Nopporn Wutthikul said on Thursday he had instructed the municipality to design a tower to be built atop Hin Lek Fai mountain in Hua Hin district, to be a new landmark.

A giant Hua Hin sign would be erected at the base of the tower, which would have an elevated walkway for visitors, he said.

The mayor said the tower would be a prime viewpoint to enjoy the vista of the resort town, and it would attract tourists to the district.

The municipality will seek a central budget for construction if the tower, if it is approved by the town, he added.
