Restaurants - Thai

The Gulf of Thailand blesses Hua Hin with the emerald-green sea—a great gift from Mother Nature which doesn’t only embrace her visitors with serenity, but also makes a prosperous home to marine life.

Just like other coastal towns, the food culture of Hua Hin is enriched with the fruits of the sea prepared freshly on their own, or as well married to standard Thai dishes.

And, as the town spreads her gentle hospitality wings to receive visitors from different parts of the world, the food scene of today’s Hua Hin finds its completion through the emergence of international-themed cuisines, which represent the cosmopolitan of this seaside paradise.

Fresh seafood, both succulently grilled and prepared as savory Thai dishes, makes one of Hua Hin’s attractions to both local visitors and foreign travelers, with its freshness guaranteed by restaurants’ proximity to Hua Hin’s fisheries in Baan Somoreang village and Takieb Mountain.

Forefathers of Somoreang villagers, the first inhabitants of Hua Hin, migrated from next-door province Petchburi. Fishing, their first and foremost career, traditionally makes its way down to the current generation and is still present in every part of the community’s lifestyle.

Menus in restaurants in Hua Hin incorporate the finest ingredients available, both from the sea and the farm, with authentic Thai recipes and original European dishes to please the tastes of customers from diverse cultural backgrounds. Enter the realm of Thai cuisine experience with a dish of aromatic jasmine rice served with a little bowl of soup coupled with a helping of stir-fry or a serving of spicy salad.

Try Tom Yum Goong (reddish spicy prawn soup flavored with leech lime, lemongrass, galingale, lime and chilly paste), Tom Ka Gai (chicken coconut milk-based curry flavored with galingale and leech lime), or Gaeng Keaw Wan Gai (coconut milk-based green curry with chicken).

Stir-fried must-tries are Pad-ka-prao-gai (chicken stir-fried in holy basil sauce), Pad-puk-ruam (mixed vegetables stir-fried in oyster sauce), Goong-tord-gra-team (prawns stir-fried with crispy chopped garlics), Gai-pud-med-ma-muang (chicken stir-fried with cashews).

The array of spicy salads probably is the most extensive of all, but the basic that any visitors to Thailand cannot miss out is Somtom (papaya salad). The savory concoction is originated in the Thai Northeast, but is loved in every region and adapted to please the taste buds of its people.

The concept of fusion foods, the products of a marriage between Western flavors and Oriental sensations, also captures the senses of foodies and epicureans with unique dishes like Spaghetti-pad-kee-mao-goong-gam-gram (spaghetti stir-fried with Thai-style holy basil sauce and giant prawns) and Steak-gai-prik-tai-dum (Thai-style spicy black-peppered chicken steak).

For visitors from overseas who appear to find Thai food far from their leagues, many restaurants and cafes have European a la carte menus featuring a decent range of steaks, salads, pizzas and desserts. There also are Indian, Japanese and Chinese restaurants to cater to those in search of Eastern flavors.

Some beachside restaurants have direct accesses to the beach and feature live trio jazz music performance 2-3 days a week in outdoor dining areas.
