Siam Addict Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 Planning on spending a few days in Hua Hin on my next trip, anyone recommend bars and restaurants in the area? I have booked a room near Soi 94 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stillearly Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 This place was pretty good https://lepubhuahin.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siam Addict Posted July 23, 2023 Author Share Posted July 23, 2023 Looks good, thanks Stillearly. Arriving Saturday, might give it a try for Sunday lunch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemondropkid Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 Stayed on Soi 94 back in March, I'd agree with @Stillearly on Le Pub. For my breakfast/coffee I love Ying's Cafe on Soi 94 across and over the railroad tracks. Super friendly, great coffee, cakes and sandwiches, didn't try the Thai food. Found the bars in HH to be a bit underwhelming to tell the truth. Love HH as a good place to chill out, but all of the hostess bars in my view can be safely avoided. You really won't be missing too much. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siam Addict Posted July 23, 2023 Author Share Posted July 23, 2023 Not too worried about the bars, I'll have three weeks in Pattaya to enjoy myself. I just wanted to see if it's a relaxing place to retire to, I have been told La Casita is a nice complex, so I'll stay there and scout out the area. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glasseye Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Yes... Enjoyed my last visit there very much. Hope to return for much of next years smoke season. Not sure where I will stay yet. But ditto regarding LePub we had a couple of very nice dinners there last time, even though I ate the same thing two nights in a row. Hua Hinn is known for a lot of really good restaurants. It's difficult to really find anything bad to say about it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horizondave Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 (edited) Just across the road from Le Pub, behind the bars just 20 metres back along the entrance road is a great German restaurant. Eat there regularly when in town but always Le Pub on a Friday. Edited July 25, 2023 by Horizondave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siam Addict Posted July 25, 2023 Author Share Posted July 25, 2023 Thanks Guys, will try to get Sunday lunch there, problem is I'm arriving late Saturday night and it looks like you need to book in advance. One more question regarding changing money, on all my searches of Google Earth is I have not seen any bureau de changes. Any ideas where they are? I have heard there is a bureau de change giving a good rate on one of the lower levels at Swampy? Is that still there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My travel companion always changes there, from memory which isn't always great, we went down some escalators. To a lower floor. Sorry, that's all I remember.

It was also my choice to retire to but wifey won the day for very sound reasons, i have mates there and they love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go down to the basement level where the Rail Link into town is and you should see them before you get to the rail passsenger/platform area. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horizondave Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 In Hua Hin there is a money changer at the very front of Market Village Mall. It is just down the steps to the basement entrance. Think it is a Victory money changer, probably give best rates in Hua Hin. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have heard there is a bureau de change giving a good rate on one of the lower levels at Swampy? Is that still there? Definitely book the bus in advance, I used this link https://airporthuahinbus.com/ Several people were trying to buy a ticket for the bus I was booked on as a walk up, only to be told it was sold out. You will get a much better rate for cash in the basement at the airport than the money changer at Market Village will give you. I used a debit card outside of the bars, where I did you cash. I bank in the UK and even HSBC have managed to come up with a foreign card (Global Money Account) that was giving a fee free rate that was better than the more competitive cash changers.

Remember you need to go down to the lowest level and into the train station concourse. The exchange booths that give the best rate are between the ticket machines and the ticket barrier. The booths before the ramp leading down to the station are part of the airport cartel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
