Thai restaurants in Upper Southern Gulf

  1. Jek Meng

    Dishes up big, piping-hot bowls of noodles and fried rice. Look for the black-and-white chequered tablecloths.

  2. Khanom Jeen Restaurant

    Next to Fame Restaurant, this hole-in-the-wall eatery is locally famous for its spicy bowls of kà·nŏm jeen (rice noodles served with a spicy fish sauce). Add your own touch with condiments of holy basil, sliced cucumber and pickled vegetables.

  3. Khon Toy Restaurant

    This open-air restaurant is shielded from the street by a screen of greenery. Inside is a simple but busy kitchen that does a brisk business in evening takeaway meals. Everything is stir-fried and tasty.

  4. Na & Nan

    Another friendly noodle place along a strip of casual restaurants in the centre of town. Their gŏo·ay đĕe·o gài (chicken noodles) comes southern style with a whole chicken drumstick.

    Sang Thai Restaurant

    One of many beloved pier-side restaurants, Sang Thai soaks in the view and specialises in whole steamed fish that arrives still sizzling to your table.

  6. Th Chomsin Food Stalls

    If you're after 100% authentic eats, check out the food stalls that congregate at this popular lunch corner. Though the setting is humble, Thais are fastidious eaters and use a fork (or their fingers with a pinch of kôw nĕe·o) to remove the meat from the bones of gài tôrt (fried chicken) rather than putting teeth directly to flesh.

    Monsoon

    An excellent wine list and mood lighting make this Vietnamese restaurant, located in a lovingly restored two-storey teak house, Hua Hin’s most romantic (and expensive) spot. There’s also Thai and European food, and you can treat yourself to afternoon tea from 3pm.

    Hua Hin Thai Show

    Just off the main night-market street, this open-air Thai restaurant draws in the crowds with free nightly performances - try to make the Wednesday night classical and folk Thai dance show. The food's not bad either, and there's nice mood lighting with tables set around Thai-style pagodas - it's only mildly cheesy.

  13. Krua Medsai

    This fantastic local haunt rarely registers on Cha-am's tourism radar because it sits just north of the beachside burg. Try succulent Ъoo nim (soft-shell crab) and order a bowl of spicy đôm yam gûng (prawn and lemongrass soup) with coconut. To find Krua Medsai, go north along the main ocean road until the rows of accommodation end; you'll pass over a small bridge and a few hundred metres later there's a large blue billboard pointing to the restaurant on the right-hand side of the road.

    Chatchai Market

    The city's day market resides in an historic building built in 1926 with a distinctive seven-eaved roof in honour of Rama VII. There are the usual market refreshments: morning vendors selling Ъah·tôrng·gŏh (Chinese-style doughnuts) and gah·faa boh·rahn (ancient-style coffee spiked with sweetened condensed milk); as well as all-day noodles with freshly made wontons; and the full assortment of fresh tropical fruit.
