Hua Hin is taking steps toward becoming a data-driven city following a presentation on the proposed Smart Liveable City Development Project. The meeting, held on 9 December 2025 at Hua Hin City Municipality, outlined how digital systems could be used to support decision-making and improve local services.
Deputy Mayor Atichat Chaisri chaired the session on behalf of the mayor. Also present were Deputy Mayor Saranphop Uengratsamee, Municipal Clerk Jeerawat Phramanee, senior division heads, and officers from the Strategy and Budget Division. A representative from Siam Inno City Co., Ltd. briefed municipal officials on the My City platform, which links data from air-quality sensors, CCTV, public Wi-Fi, communication tools, and digital service accounts into a single system.
The presentation covered infrastructure for smart city development, tools to support Thailand’s digital economy, the My Re-fill City smart water refill station system, and management platforms for free public Wi-Fi. It also highlighted smart monitoring features such as PM2.5 alerts via Line, AI-based CCTV analysis, digital information screens, and targeted municipal messaging.
Officials said the proposal will now be forwarded to the executive committee for review. If adopted, Hua Hin would be able to rely more on real-time information rather than manual reporting, positioning the municipality to act more quickly on issues such as public safety, traffic, and environmental conditions.
Smart city systems and data integration in Hua Hin
In a separate development, the city has received new CCTV equipment under an installation project aimed at strengthening local surveillance capabilities. On 9 December 2025, Municipal Clerk Jeerawat Phramanee, who chairs the Procurement Inspection Committee, led an inspection and acceptance session for the delivered equipment.
The handover consisted of 28 fixed-view outdoor network cameras for security and image analysis, three cameras capable of detecting vehicle licence plates at speeds of at least 60 km/h, and 15 outdoor equipment cabinets. Officials confirmed that delivery and inspection were completed without issue.
Together, the smart city proposal and upgraded CCTV network suggest Hua Hin is moving closer to a data-driven approach to urban management, with digital tools becoming increasingly central to how the city monitors conditions and delivers services.
The My City platform brings several municipal functions under one system, allowing the city to gather, analyse, and use data more efficiently. While the proposal is still under consideration, officials said the plan reflects an ongoing shift toward modernising local services and improving communication between residents and the municipality.
