Pa Jua

Hua Hin


This mango-sticky-rice stand is a local hit, which explains why it's been in business for almost 50 years. You can buy mangoes individually, or in the traditional Thai dessert with sticky rice, coconut cream and sprinkled with crispy yellow mung beans. There are just a few seats; most order takeaway.

Pa Jua is located across the street from the sŏrng·tăa ou parked beside the Hilton.

The mangoes taste best when they're in season from around April to June.
