A famous pilgrimage site in Hua Hin is the statue for Luang Pu Thuat (หลวงปู่ทวด) at Wat Huay Mongkol. Luang Phu Thuat was born in 1582 and is said to have performed miracles. Amulets created in his image are said to have great protective powers and will protect you from things like car accidents. Older amulets are sold for high prices. The statue in Hua Hin is the largest in Thailand.
