Hua Hin หัวหิน is one of eight districts of Prachuap Khiri Khan province in the northern part of the Malay Peninsula in Thailand. Hua Hin district is in the middle of what the Thai government is promoting as the "Thai Riviera", the stretch of coastline between Phetchaburi in the north and Chumphon in the south.
In 1834, before the town was named Hua Hin some agricultural areas of Phetchaburi province were hit by severe drought. A group of farmers moved south until they found a small village that had bright white sand and a row of rocks along the beach. They settled there and gave it the name Samore Riang, which means 'rows of rocks'. The name was changed to Hua Hin in 1921.
Regarded by many as one of the nicest beaches near Bangkok, Hua Hin is immensely popular for locals and international visitors. The popularity is mostly thanks to the flat stretches of beach, plenty of things to do, and ease of travel from Bangkok.

The Bolo Hauz Mosque stands on the western edge of what was once Bukhara’s Registan Square, directly facing the Ark Fortress in a classic paired arrangement that once framed the city’s ceremonial heart.
Built in 1712 early in the reign of Abu’l-Faiz Khan, it ranks among the last major religious monuments raised in Bukhara before the modern era and forms part of the city’s UNESCO-listed Historic Center.
Its name, meaning “above the pool,” refers to the octagonal stone lined hauz that still lies before it, a reservoir that once supplied water for ablutions and daily life and now mirrors the mosque’s slender wooden columns so perfectly that locals call the place the Mosque of Forty Pillars.
At its core is a solid winter prayer hall of thick brick walls and a spacious dome, its interior marked by the restrained muqarnas vaulting and mihrab typical of eighteenth century Central Asian craftsmanship.
In the early twentieth century, under the last Manghit emir, a luminous summer iwan was ...

Port FC, one of Thailand’s oldest clubs, was founded in 1967 as the Port Authority of Thailand side. The Khlong Toei Lions enjoyed a golden era of multiple Kor Royal Cup and Queen’s Cup titles and have remained a consistent top-flight presence in the modern Thai League era, regularly challenging in the upper half of the table and appearing in Asian competitions.
Bangkok United began life in 1988 as Bangkok University FC before evolving into a professional outfit.

The railways of Uzbekistan began in the late nineteenth century under the Russian Empire with the construction of the Trans-Caspian line that stretched across the deserts to reach Samarkand in 1888 and later connected with Tashkent.
After independence the national operator O‘zbekiston Temir Yo‘llari was created in 1994 and has steadily improved the network. Alongside the newer high-speed services, the reliable Sharq express continues to provide a classic and more affordable way to travel between the country’s main cities.
