Food Scene

Some ideas to whet the appetite while you're here
Good value tapas and larger meals. Nice atmosphere too. A good place for appetizers before you head deeper downtown to party.

It's a 45-minute ride out of town, but well worth the trip if you're in Hua Hin for a while. Actually, it's a winery with some decent wines - I recommend the Shiraz red and white. And the restaurant happens to be an award winner too. Once there you can also take a tour of the winery by jeep, hire a bike, take a wine-tasting, or just order a-la-carte. Prices are very reasonable and the menu is huge and delicious. Highly recommended!

Lovely setting, delicious Italian food, lots of variety and reasonably priced wine (for Thailand). Our favourite Italian restaurant in town. Also right in the centre of downtown Hua Hin so easy to get to and you can wander the centre afterwards.

Beautiful hotel in Kao Takiab, right on the beach. Great for families and couples. Great food selection at medium range prices. Great for cocktails and dinner, or lunch followed by a massage from the girls on the beach at the hotel. Live music 6 days a week.

On the beach down a small street on the opposite side from Makro. Owned by Apple, she has transformed this place into an idyllic little spot with views of the sea and a beautiful garden/haven of peace. Fantastic Thai and Italian food. We'd recommend the baked fish and a bottle of Prosecco!

Cute little Italian place next to G hotel in the centre of town. Offers indoor and outdoor seating. The food selection is good and the taste is excellent. Try the bruschetta and any of the homemade pasta dishes. Add a glass of pinot grigio and you've just experienced a slice of heaven!

A little gem south of the town, about 15 minutes from the apartment and right next door to the affiliated water park. The best of views of Hua Hin north and south without a doubt. Also walk on the skydeck 27 floors up, if you dare! Great place to start your evening.

This place has boutique shops and coffee bars, chic bars and even a swimming which you can bathe in or sit beside whilst you enjoy your favourite cocktail. And it's right by the sea. Not the cheapest place in town but worth a visit for a high class experience. Some shops play live music at night too.

Also known as "Monkey Mountain", this is a 20-minute tuktuk ride from the apartment. Come here to get a fabulous view of the whole of Hua Hin and the coastline. You can also feed the many monkeys - but beware! They will steal anything you leave unattended and you may get a little jumpy when feeding them.

Parks & Nature

A short ride outside Hua Hin in any direction and you'll find plenty of wonderful walks and sights in nature.
Beautiful but demanding trail up the mountain showing you some great views of the coast and eventually back down into the cave to see the amazing Phraya Nakhon temple inside, which was built for the King. The walk is split into two sections. The first takes about 25 minutes; the second about 45 minutes. For a shorter walk, skip the first section by taking the boat instead to the beach and then walk the second section uphill from here to see the temple inside.

This walk over the headland will delight you with some impressive views of the natural coastline. The walk is split into two sections, around 45 minutes each, divided by a beautiful, secluded beach. Stop at the beach to take it easy or otherwise brave the full distance. This is not for the weak of heart! It's quite tough in places! PLEASE WEAR APPROPRIATE WALKING SHOES, WEAR SUNSCREEN, A HAT AND PLENTY OF WATER.

If you have your own transport and are in town for more than one week, it's worth the 50 minute drive South to Dolphin Bay - one of the most beautiful beaches in the area. Sit at the resort, or perhaps at Monkey Bar, and watch the tide roll in and away. A magical day out for all the family.
