Hua Hin Restaurants
Despite Hua Hin being a relatively small city, both with international as well as Thai measures, the supply of excellent restaurants is extensive — not to say rather unique. Someone who wishes to learn more about the restaurants in the area very soon will understand why the city has become famous for all its first-class dining places. The below guide to some of the most outstanding restaurants in Hua Hin might help you to find your way through this food jungle.
Being a traditional fishing village, it is not hard to appreciate why fish and seafood is a speciality among the restaurants of Hua Hin. The majority of these dining places are located in the city centre. Many of them are located with direct access to the beach. Taken together, the restaurants provide an impressive variety of cuisine: from Thai, Chinese, Indian, Korean and Japanese — through Italian, French, German, English and American — to Swedish and Danish. Some restaurants offer live music and dance shows during the dinner.
Central European & Anglo-Saxian Food in Hua hin
The Italian kitchen is very well represented in Hua Hin. The focus is in most cases on pasta dishes and pizzas. Also German food can be found at many places in town. When it comes to Anglo-Saxian food, which can be found in all corners of the world, Hua Hin has it too; most of the well-known fast food restaurants are represented. However, Anglo-Saxian food prepared in a slower pace and with healthier content is represented below.
East Asian Food in Hua hin
Many of the restaurants in Hua Hin represent not only Thai food, quite a few have East Asian cuisine on the menu. This even more so when Market Village opened at the beginning of 2006. The supply of East Asian food in Hua Hin is extensive nowadays. On the second floor of Market Village many nation covering restaurant chains are represented.
Scandinavian Food in Hua hin
It is perhaps by now no surprise that Hua Hin is something of a favourite destination for Scandinavians. This picture is confirmed not least by the large number of Swedish restaurants in town. Hence, should you be of Swedish origin, there is no need to pack your suitcase with mashed potato powder, lingonberry jam or meatballs — you will find these delicacies at the below Swedish restaurants.
Seafood in Hua Hin
In connection to the large fishing pier in the city centre, and at Khao Takiab a bit south of the city, you will find the vast majority of seafood restaurants in the area. At these restaurants it is normally possible to order some European dishes too, but most of the food in the menus is seafood, prepared in traditional Thai style. Trying one of these restaurants is a must for one who visits Hua Hin. Some good advice to bear in mind is that “spicy” is normally much spicier than foreigners are used to (especially red chilli is used frequently). Therefore, one who likes spicy food would perhaps be satisfied even if choosing “not spicy”. Some popular Thai specialties are Fried Sea Bass, Tom Yam Talay, Tom Yam Kung, Tom Kha Gaj and Chicken with Cashew nuts. Grilled Seafood Platter — a generously filled wooden plate with fresh delicacies from the waters around Hua Hin — deserves a special recommendation.
Thai Food In Hua hin
The most exciting feature about Thai restaurants is that they basically can be found anywhere. A Thai restaurant does not necessarily need to have certain premises with walls and a roof. Instead, a cart (often connected to a motorbike), a couple of (plastic) chairs and a (metal) table do just fine as a place to dine. This is the reason why it can be so incredibly inexpensive to eat on the streets in Thailand. A rice or noodle dish can be purchased at as little as 20 baht (60 US cents). If the same kind of dish is to be ordered in premises with wooden tables and wooden chairs, it can cost up to many times more. However, the message is not that the prices in such a Thai restaurant is unjustified, but rather that it can be a good idea to try out one of all the small “cart” restaurants that you pass during your walks in Hua Hin.
