Baan Gliwang

Hua Hin


The palm trees, flower garden, historic wooden beach homes and the sound of the surf make the setting at 'The House Near the Palace' pretty much perfect. For many, it's a place to lounge with coffee and coconut cake, but there's also a small menu of massaman curry, crab fried rice, kôw châe (moist chilled rice) and Caesar salad wrap.

Note the portions are very small.
