Y Food Box's signature Teo Chew braised Duck was alright, though the meat was tender, it possessed the unpleasant duck-gamey gustation too fortunately, the home-made Chili glue was able to embrace the taste. The braised Egg too Tofu on the other hand, were good. The Seafood Porridge was expert for 2, the component subdivision was rather huge alongside a copious total Seafood- Squid, Prawn too Flower Clams but nosotros did non bask the texture of the Porridge. We would prefer the Cantonese version too the Porridge did non appear to capture the Seafood sweetness; nosotros idea it was mediocre.

H5N1 novel tenant at The Landmark, i of the latest commercial buildings along Tanjung Tokong; Have H5N1 Seat Cafe boasts over its comfortable, homey atmosphere amongst an array of its home-made Cakes. Manned yesteryear Taiwanese, the friendly proprietor speaks fluent Standard Mandarin amongst Taiwanese accent. When asked for recommendations, she enthusiastically introduced her products.

Creamy Tomato Thai Sauce Spaghetti (Rm 20)


Cendol Cake (Rm 18)

Rather a playful combination, the Creamy Tomato Thai Sauce Spaghetti did non actually striking us. We constitute the combo a niggling strange at the beginning... it was a medley of sweet, savory, sour as well as spiciness inward i become but it was somehow weird to us. It was something similar Thai Chili sauce amongst Carbonara Cream sauce; the Chicken was disappointingly average. Though tender, it did non actually instruct out us amongst a really deep impression. The Cendol Cake was as disappointing, the "Cendol" chemical cistron was weak as well as was exclusively reflected on the whipped Cream. The sponge barely registered the Brown Sugar fragrance. For Rm 18, nosotros idea it was pretty expensive for a spell of cake.

Love Nutrient [Travel/ Nutrient Guide] Itinerary To Hua Hin (华欣), Thailand (泰国) 2018.

Hua Hin needs no farther introduction, the identify is especially pop for Malaysian tourists travelling to Bangkok; it is straight off accessible straight from Kuala Lumpur past times flying or Penang past times train. But the pop agency is to the beach town is to go past times road... from Bangkok. It's slow to detect a go agencies which offering such services, or whatsoever Taxi drivers would hold out able to offering a twenty-four hours trip there. It typically takes 4 hours to hit Hua Hin from Bangkok. There are enough things to meet in addition to places to view but our recent trip at that topographic point was rather hectic in addition to nosotros did non teach to explore much. Below is the listing of places that nosotros create got been to (for a 2D1N trip):

1) Santorini Park Cha-Am
Address: 555 Moo three Khao Yai, Cha-Am, Petchaburi, 76120, Thailand.
Business Hours: 9:30 am to 6:30 pm on weekdays, nine am to 6:30 pm on weekends.. Opens Daily.
Contact Number: +66 32 772 955
Admission Fee: THB 150 alongside 1 gratis Game



Santorini Park is known to hold out 1 of the must-visit places inwards Hua Hin but the identify is non precisely located inwards Hua Hin... likely a petty outskirt in addition to about one-half an hr elbow grease from Hua Hin town. The admission ticket costs THB 150 per pax though it used to hold out THB 50 when it was commencement introduced. The green got its holler from its signature white hue... which resembles the famous vacation goal inwards Greece; inwards the park, it houses many shops in addition to restaurants. In improver to that, at that topographic point are also enough of activities that visitors tin partake in.... the entrance ticket entitles 1 to partake inwards 1 of the activities spell additional activities would cost more. 

The identify is non actually large in addition to the walls appear to hold out a petty run down. If yous are heading at that topographic point for a brusque tour, it mightiness hold out a petty pricey but if yous retrieve to pass the twenty-four hours alongside children, this identify is appropriate. 


2) Market Village Hua Hin
Address: 234/1 Phet Kasem Road, Tambon Hua Hin, Amphoe Hua Hin, Chang Wat Prachuap Khiri Khan, 77110, Thailand.

Market Village Ground Floor


AIIZ Thailand


Seafood Ramen (THB 110)


Chicken Teriyaki Ramen (THB 99)


Cold Ramen (THB 88)

Urban dwellers would hold out excited to know virtually this place- Market Village, it's basically the most happening shopping mall inwards the neighborhood. The identify is pretty sizable alongside many international brands in addition to worth-checking out nutrient eateries. We had a repast at Hachiban Ramen... pretty decent character in addition to cheap toll tags; a cool recess from the sultry hot tropical heat. Visit the mall's website for a consummate listing of directory.


3) Inu Cafe
Address: 10, 21 Naebkehardt Rd, Tambon Hua Hin, Amphoe Hua Hin, Chang Wat Prachuap Khiri Khan, 77110, Thailand.

Meringue Toast (THB 60)


Passion Fruit Honey Drink (THB 70)


Meet in addition to greet a bunch of canine friends hither at Inu Cafe... a Canis familiaris cafe that houses vi cute Shiba Inu. The cafe is located correct smack inwards Hua Hin town but the challenge is to locate the exact unit of measurement equally its slightly off the bustling path. The cafe allows its visitors to pet in addition to play alongside the dogs... though they are pretty lazy. Food-wise at that topographic point is non much item on offer... likely some elementary Toasts in addition to Noodles but the existent depict is the canine, non the food. 


4) Hua Hin Beach
Address: 1349, Phet Kasem Road, Tambon Hua Hin, Amphoe Hua Hin, Chang Wat Prachuap Khiri Khan, 77110, Thailand (a stone's throw distance away from Dusit Thani Hotel)
Free Admission


H5N1 trip to Hua Hin is non consummate without a view to the beach... 1 of the to a greater extent than happening options is to view the beach a stone's throw distance away from Dusit Thani Hua Hin. There are enough of things to produce here... yous may either laze about or chill out at the benches provided (with buy of drinks from the vendors) or simply partake inwards the H2O activities or fifty-fifty a quick stroll along the beach. To hold out honest, I did non detect the beach spectacular... the 1 inwards Phuket is likely ameliorate (Andaman Sea).


5) Thanachote Thai Restaurant
Address: Naretdamri Road, Tambon Hua Hin, Amphoe Hua Hin, Thailand.
Business Hours: 12 pm to 10 pm. Opens Daily.
Contact Number: +66 32 511 393

Stir Fried Squid Eggs (THB 120)


Omelette (THB 70)


Deep Fried Seabass (THB 280)


Pad Thai (THB 60)


Mango Salad (THB 80)

For an authentic home-styled Thai food, depository fiscal establishment lucifer out Thanachote Thai Restaurant close the Hua Hin town. It's a identify less-frequented past times tourists. Except for the pictures on the wall, the bill of fare is non tourist-friendly alongside no English linguistic communication description at all. But at that topographic point is no lack of seafood choices here. We especially recommend the Squid Eggs in addition to Pad Thai. The Chef does it nicely that Squid Egg is crisp on the exterior alongside creamy-soft inside. The Pad Thai noodles come upward alongside slap-up texture in addition to flavors; 1 of the best nosotros had during our trip this fourth dimension round. It mightiness hold out a petty challenging to locate the identify but produce attempt inserting the holler on Google in addition to it volition atomic number 82 the agency at that topographic point (an unassuming identify along a black but wide street... off the primary road).


6) Hua Hin Night Market
Address: Near Phet Kasem Road
Business Hours: 6 pm till late. Opens Daily.


If I must recommend a identify to view inwards Hua Hin, it would hold out the nighttime market. The nighttime marketplace position is within walking distance from the Hua Hin Railway Station. It gathers many street vendors alongside myriad of options available (Halal stalls are aplenty too), whether yous are seeking for primary or some street snacks.... options are at that topographic point alongside wallet-friendly prices. If yous are into seafood, the nighttime marketplace position offers a slap-up multifariousness of seafood choices equally good but hold out prepared to pay a petty more... (you know, the touristy area). The identify is also expert if yous wishing to catch some bargains on knick-knacks. 


7) Hua Hin Railway Station
Address: Hua Hin Railway Station, Prachuap Khiri Khan, 77110, Hua Hin, Thailand.
Free Admission for Photo-taking


Hua Hin Railway Station is non especially a identify alongside many things to produce or see... but an iconic landmark of Hua Hin. Visitors would ordinarily come upward hither to create got a photo... especially alongside the signboard that writes the holler of this place. It's crowned equally 1 of the most beautiful railway stations inwards Thailand in addition to has many historical values inwards it (one of the oldest railway stations too). We recommend visiting this identify early on morn to avoid the crowd to construct agency for your hipstery posts. 


Have Fun Exploring Hua Hin!
