#HuaHinTravel Hua Hin: Food and Drink Recommendations (Local and Personal)
☕️ Café
Amour (Page 1)
The decor is rather retro and a favorite spot among Bangkokians on weekends. It's currently off-season, so it's relatively empty on weekdays. They also sell Western-style cakes and desserts.
Loch Camp (Page 2)
There's a small garden with a waterfall and mist, creating a natural atmosphere. While not as popular as Chiang Mai, it feels like you're in the internet world. You can take photos or sit on the lawn overlooking the sea. Aside from the heat, the overall atmosphere is quite pleasant.
Silver Oak (Page 3)
This is the cafe we opened after work every day. It's not crowded, the air conditioning is good, the internet is fast, and we worked efficiently! They serve simple Western food. You can also have lunch.
Matapita (not pictured)
A beachfront cafe with a small garden is popular with locals who love taking photos and checking in. You can enjoy coffee with a sea view. The only downside is that the outdoor seating can get a bit hot.
Double U
The highlight of this cafe is that all the coffee is handmade, not a coffee machine. This was the first time I'd seen hand-pressed espresso, which was quite interesting, although it was a bit slow. You can ask the owner for paper and start painting with watercolors. There's a drawing board at the door for customers to draw on.
Brief Coffee
This shop offers a low-calorie menu, which is rare in Hua Hin. The shop's decor is modern and minimalist, and I usually order takeout.
🍜 Night Market
We visited the most famous Tamarind & Cicada Market, but found it to be more tourist-oriented and rather boring. Here are some of our favorite local markets:
Dinosaur Market (page 4)
A small local night market with inexpensive takeaway Thai food and fruit stalls. There are also curries for takeaway for 40-50 baht.
Pajama Market (page 5)
A large night market open only on Tuesdays. They sell everything, including a wide variety of food and drinks. Most are locally sourced, with fewer tourists. Prices are affordable for locals.
Bon Kai Fresh Market / Hua Na Market
Both are small daytime markets, perfect for lunch, fruit, and other items. Hua Na primarily sells fruit, and the prices are reasonable.
🏡 Restaurant
Nong JJ
This shop is quite popular among Thais and Bangkokians. Many people flock there on weekends. The prices aren't bad (stir-fried shrimp with fermented beans costs 150 baht), and the food is delicious.
Pages 6-7
Finally, we arrived at my favorite fried banana shop. It's said to be the most famous in Hua Hin, and it usually sells out by 3 p.m. It's 20 baht for 8 pieces. Make sure to eat them hot, as they'll soften when they cool. I'll post the address later.
