Hin, and this friendly place caters to them with authentic dishes cooked by a Russian chef.

(pancakes and sour cream) too.

WEEKENDS EATING WITH BANGKOK'S THAIS
On weekends, a different kind of tidal system occurs in Hua Hin. Bangkok professionals flow in, filling up hotels
and restaurants on Th Naebkehardt, washing over the night market or crowding into nightclubs. And then come
Sunday they clog the roadways heading north, obeying the pull of the upcoming work week.
Their presence is so pronounced that there is an irresistible urge to join them. And because of restaurant fea-
tures on Thai TV or food magazines, everyone goes to the same places. So don your designer sunglasses and el-
bow your way to a table at one of these popular spots in North Hua Hin:
» Sôm·đam Stand OFFLINE MAP GOOGLE MAP (Th Naebkehardt; dishes 25-70B; 10am-2pm) Across
from Iammeuang Hotel is a sôm·đam stand that easily wipes out the country's supply of green papayas in one
weekend. Great grilled chicken too. On the other side of the road are other food stalls.
» Eighteen Below Ice Cream (Th Naebkehardt; ice cream from 69B; 11am-5pm, closed Tue) At the end of
the road behind Baan Talay Chine Hotel, this gourmet ice-cream shop is run by a trained chef and specialises in
rich and creamy flavours.
» Ratama OFFLINE MAP GOOGLE MAP (12/10 Th Naebkehardt; dishes 50-390B; 10am-10pm) New spot
for visiting hipsters, with a menu that runs from simple noodle dishes to great, spicy seafood curries. If you're
feeling very Thai, go for the hot and sour chicken-feet soup.
» Jae Siam (Th Naebkehardt; dishes 35-60B; 9am-10pm) If you've lost track of the days of the week, cruise
by this open-air noodle shop, just before the Evergreen Hotel, where Hua Hin civil servants pack in on weekdays
and Bangkok Thais come on weekends. The shop is famous for gŏo·ay đĕe·o mŏo đŭn (stewed pork noodles) and
gŏo·ay đĕe·o gài đŭn (stewed chicken noodles).
Drinking & Entertainment
Drinking destinations in Hua Hin are stuck in a time warp: sports bars or hostess bars -
and sometimes you can't tell the difference. But the onslaught of weekending Bangkok
Thais has kicked up the sophistication factor.
