About Pla Jaramed
A Garden Setting Made for Celebrations
Pla Jaramed is an outdoor event lawn at Holiday Inn Resort Vana Nava Hua Hin, an IHG Hotel, situated in Hua Hin — one of Thailand's most established seaside resort destinations in Prachuap Khiri Khan province. The space takes its name from the Thai word for "tilapia," a nod to the resort's tropical, water-park character, and it brings a lush, open-air ambience that sets it apart from conventional hotel ballrooms. With mature greenery framing the perimeter and the resort's leisure landscape as a backdrop, Pla Jaramed delivers the kind of relaxed, resort-style atmosphere that is increasingly sought after for celebrations where outdoor beauty matters as much as the event programme itself.
The lawn is well-suited to groups seeking a venue that feels neither overly formal nor generic — a setting where natural surroundings do much of the decorative work, and where guests can move freely beneath the open sky. Evening events in particular benefit from Hua Hin's reliably warm climate, when the space can be dressed with lighting, floral arrangements, and draping to create an intimate tropical atmosphere.
Events & Occasions
Pla Jaramed is used for a broad range of social and corporate events. Wedding receptions are among the most popular occasions held here, with couples drawn to the combination of outdoor greenery, resort facilities, and the ease of having accommodation, dining, and leisure all within the same property for guests travelling from Bangkok and beyond. The space also accommodates cocktail receptions, product launches, team-building dinners, and milestone celebrations such as birthdays and anniversaries.
The outdoor format lends itself to flexible staging configurations — whether a formal sit-down banquet, a cocktail-style standing reception, or a hybrid setup that transitions from ceremony to dinner. The resort's dedicated events team works with clients to plan layout, catering, audio-visual requirements, and décor in line with each event's brief, drawing on the broader resources of the Holiday Inn Resort brand and IHG's meetings and events infrastructure.
Location & Resort Context
Hua Hin sits approximately 200 kilometres south of Bangkok, making it one of the Thai capital's most accessible beach resort destinations by road or rail. Holiday Inn Resort Vana Nava Hua Hin is anchored around the Vana Nava Water Jungle, a water park that gives the property a distinctive leisure identity. This resort setting means that event guests have access to the full range of on-site amenities — multiple food and beverage outlets, swimming pools, and hotel accommodation — making it a natural choice for multi-day event programmes, group incentive trips, or destination weddings where out-of-town guests need a seamless experience from arrival to departure.
For event planners, the combination of an outdoor garden event space, a full-service resort, and a well-connected location in one of Thailand's most recognisable resort towns makes Pla Jaramed a distinctive option in the Hua Hin event landscape.
