Traditional Thai Food in Hua Hin

Hua Hin Thai restaurants vary in quality – the best way to choose a good one is to look for a packed place with locals and visitors. Sample different dishes on the menu to find your favorites. Many menus are in English or have pictures for detail.
Thai food can be incredibly spicy, but you don’t have to have it served this way – you can ask for any dish to be served, not spicy, or order the least-spicy options on the menu.

Restaurants in Hua Hin also serve a good variety of international food. You can take your pick from different cuisines as diverse as Chinese, British and Italian. Many Hua Hin restaurants serving international food are more expensive than Thai restaurants, but you will still get a bargain compared to what you expect to pay at home.
