Our favorite too. We lived on Soi 102 for 6 weeks in March/April 2024 and had many meals there. I think we actually met there once, or maybe near the old couple selling fruit. Well, the restaurant offers a lot of great Thai-food, but their Fish & Chips is also great!
So much better than showing a over priced resort. This is the real Thailand. Koh chang and Kood would be a great place to visit. We really enjoyed both.
OMG. Kim looks a little like Cloris Leachman. Very pretty.. and thanks for putting these videos out. I am adding this place to my list when I make it over there again next year!
@@AlmostRetiredinThailand just finished a great meal. The prices are low and the quality was excellent. Guess where I went for dessert? Thanks for the tip
Love your videos. We've watched them for weeks getting ready for our first trip to Hua Hin and Thailand. Tonight we went to this restaurant. What you ordered looked so good we ordered the same. Fried papaya salad, cashew chicken, spicy shrimp soup and added an order of fried squid. Oh my this was the best food ever! Amazing! Add two bottles of water, a Coke and a large bottle of Leo beer to the order. We are here for another 2 weeks and we will be back there several more times. To top that off the entire bill for everything was only 540 bht or $14.80 US. You both rock. Hope to run into you and say hi while we're here. Wayne & Jayme
So helpful. This is just around the corner from my place and I've been too intimidated to go in and have a meal. This is really helpful and encouraging.
Thai food looks great. would pass on the ice cream, cannot believe I just said that. If down that way next month, I will go to Soi 102 for a feed. Great video just no more ice cream vids trying to lose weight 😃
@@AlmostRetiredinThailand Went for a feed most of the food was good apart from the baby squid. Thai Green Curry was great heaps of chicken, tender, large serving and good flavour. Very Hot over there, hard to sit and enjoy the food, We had 4 dishes plus rice and noodles and 4 drinks only came to 720 Baht. Had good food at 中国厨粤茶餐厅 Chinese restaurant (ร้านอาหารจีนชากวางตุ้ง) 21/9 Chomsin Rd, Hua Hin, Hua Hin District, Prachuap Khiri Khan 77110, Thailand. Beautiful Pork Dim Sim, the best I have ever had. Only had a couple of ice creams from 711 in 3 weeks. Back home, I cannot wait for the next trip.
So the restaurants name is “Papaya sallad at Bee’s”. I haven’t been there but I’ll definitely going to try it out. There’s also a Swensens at Petchakasem Rd almost by the clock tower. Cheers!
English name Gi-Yang = bbq chicken SomTum=papaya salad Jae Pueng=her name Jae= nice way to call female who is older than you. So if don’t know her name and she look older than you, you can call her Are-Jae. Jae is actually a Chinese dialect for older sister. Pueng = bee. But don’t call her “bee” she will not like that. Just call her Jae Pueng or Are-Pueng. Restaurant name is Gi-Yang Som-Tum Jae-Pueng
Really appreciate this video. Wish I had known about this restaurant the last time I was in Hua Hin. I was staying at the dusitD2 less than 5 minute walk away.
Hello Dave, hello Kim. I am glad to read a comment saying that Kim is beautiful. Now I have nothing to fear. Dave is not going to punch. This is the last video I am going to see tonight. I have a busy day tomorrow. Good Night.
Like you kim im a picky eater at age 55. I found the food in Jomtien so unhealthy when we were there recently. I cant have dairy or gluten. It was so hard to reach my protein goals. I lost 5Lbs which i didn't need to lose. I would have order the chicken with cashew as well. You look in very good shape. Any tips? We did go to the big c store but not alot there for organic helthy foods
I worked with a Thai in Abu Dhabi who leased a beach on one of the islands in the South. He boasted that no Thai would eat in his restaurant because it was designed for foreigner's taste. I suspect that it was only half of the story, the prices were also designed for foreigner's pockets! I am not an expert on prices because like most farang I don't much care what the food costs which is what makes us such good customers. If you plan to stay, learning to read Thai will solve pronunciation problems because the English phonetics depend on it.
Agrees about the Thai language and very difficult for a 56 year old guy with major ringing in my ears... makes it so difficult to hear the tiny nuances that some words have... but we try all the time to learn.
what are the rules for Americans to live in Thailand and is English spoken by most? Congrats on the home. I am a Realtor in NC and SC and the prices are so far above what most can now afford
We would like to buy one house in your location is it available? You can reach us if you have time as we would like to buy one. Is it available like in installments or full cash?
Thailand a good country for holiday and varieties of great good food but the main problem is to get someone to speak or know any English is the main problem, compared like their neigjbouring Singapore, Malaysia where communication with any foreigner is very easy and understanding.
We try hard to speak Thai, which is a very difficult language. There is a decent English speaking community... but not speaking the language is part of the adventure 🙄
Kim is amazinly beautiful! You can tell she has been gorgeous her whole life. Great video.
Yes! Thank you!
Oh my... thank you!!!! ❤
Thats our favorite to, its amazing. Cant wait to juli to visit it again.
Maybe we will see you there!!!
Wow, those desserts looked awesome, as did that shrimp soup
It is all so good. I can't think of any better food.
Amazing lovely couple. Please kerp videos coming. Very tempting to move to Tailand.
Thank you. I had to make a short notice trip back to the US... I'll be back.
This will be on the list on our next visit to Hua Hin. Thank you!
We love it there.
Gosh. Looks amazing. Many thanks.
Absolutely love this restaurant.
I m Thai ,who lives in condo located in Chaam- Huahin area, will surely visit this restuarant because of you guys😁👍🤟😋
We love Thai food... Lots of great places around. Enjoy!!!

Agreed 100%. This is one of the things that makes Thailand special for us.
Love your videos! From one Realtor to the other from Peoria, AZ
Thanks. I am in Gilbert now on a short notice trip!!!
@@AlmostRetiredinThailand hope everything is okay. Safe travels back
Thank you! looks really good. When I get out and my son arrives next week, we will definitely do our best to try it out!
You will love it Paul!!! I suggest over ordering!!!
We love that place. Cant wait to return.
Oh, I always get the fried papaya salad krap
The fried papaya sale... somtam thod... is our favorite, obviously... and the spicy pork salad...
Wow, I've been to that city three or four times and I've never been to that restaurant. I'm definitely going to go next time I'm in Hua Hin.
For us it is our absolute favorite. Great food, prices and service.
The translation of the restaurant‘s name is:
Papaya salad sister Bee 🐝
Bee (Phueng in Thai) is probably the owner‘s nickname.
Awesome!!! Thank you!!!
OMG. Kim looks a little like Cloris Leachman. Very pretty.. and thanks for putting these videos out. I am adding this place to my list when I make it over there again next year!
Thanks for watching and commenting!!!
Going to go there tonight. Thanks for the heads up.
My guess is you should love it!!!

We love this place. Our 100% goto place for the best food. Right now Kim is around but I needed to go to the states. Back soon!!!
Hah living the life, you 2 are definitely almost retired, enjoy, I am envious and ready to return to Hua Hin.
Hua Hin will be here... is too :)
That was a fun video guys, I definitely hope to stop in there in the future!
The place is great!!!
Thanks for the recommendation.
Have just been there, great food.
Guys - Just a big one for me!
So helpful. This is just around the corner from my place and I've been too intimidated to go in and have a meal. This is really helpful and encouraging.
We eat there once a week. We take people there and they are always very happy!!!
Quality pure quality 👌 😊
Not just the food but the service too.
Thai food looks great. would pass on the ice cream, cannot believe I just said that.

Hello! From California!
Hello... I am currently in California myself. Had to make a short notice uneexpected trip.
The name is translated to Eng. as "Sister Pueng's Papaya Salad Shop 102 Street" (Pueng means a bee)
So the restaurants name is “Papaya sallad at Bee’s”. I haven’t been there but I’ll definitely going to try it out. There’s also a Swensens at Petchakasem Rd almost by the clock tower. Cheers!
You will enjoy the food... and yes I forgot about the Swensens on Phetkasem Road. Thanks!!!
English name Gi-Yang = bbq chicken SomTum=papaya salad Jae Pueng=her name Jae= nice way to call female who is older than you. So if don’t know her name and she look older than you, you can call her Are-Jae. Jae is actually a Chinese dialect for older sister. Pueng = bee. But don’t call her “bee” she will not like that.

Love rhe food here.
Ya we are there a few times a week
Just like us!!!
ฉันไปหัวหินมา5ครั้งแต่ไม่ค่อยรู้จักร้านอาหารแบบนี้ อาจเป็นเพราะฉันไปไม่บ่อย จึงเข้าร้านที่ค่อนข้างราคาแพง ครั้งต่อไปช่วงซัมเมอร์ที่จะถึงฉันจะหาร้านแบบคุณบ้าง..ขออนุญาตชม ภรรยาของคุณสวยมาก
Thank you for telling me my wife is beautiful... this place is really good to eat at. Enjoy.
❤ thank you
Perfect date night 🙏
Yes and the cost... and thebqualitt.
Quality...
oh man, that dessert looks so good and dangerous 😅
Just found out our favorite restaurant also serves ice cream. Will share at some point 😀
There's a Swensen's in Hua Hin City Center, too. It's near to the clock tower.
Yes, I forgot about that one. Haven't been, but will go :)
Restaurant is the name of the owner, “Honey”
i'll be there in 2 weeks
I will be back in 2 weeks after a trip to the states. Can't wait.

I will let Kim know you had commented and asked her a question. She also has a RUclips channel - named Kimberleys Sandbox.
@@AlmostRetiredinThailand thank you
I just keep moving!!! I do workout and run/walk incline several days a week. When Dave comes, I blow my diet everytime :(
2 meals a day is okay for me, I could def live here, for cheap. Cars however, are expensive.
We paid less for our car in Thailand than we would have in the US... about $5K USD less.
Thanks for the videos! How was the conversion to Thai driving on the left? That seems like a nightmare…..
Just have to keep repeating... left... left... left...

I'm planning on moving to Thailand and I was told one of the first things I need to get on my phone is Google translate
It helps but many times not necessary.
Jae Phueng= sister bee
Thank you.
Somtom (papaya salad) Jae (sis) Pheung (Bee): pheung pronounced pu-ung
Thank you.
Som Tam means papaya salad, Jae Phueng is her name.
Yes, thank you.
Maybe he's filling you up at the Thai cheap restaurant then splurging only on a western dessert 🍨 😂😂
Just found out this place serves ice cream... didn't even know that :)
We would like to buy one house in your location is it available? You can reach us if you have time as we would like to buy one. Is it available like in installments or full cash?
You can send us a message through our site and we will respond - www.almostretiredinthailand.com/contact
Translation: Tom Tae Restaurant
I'm surprised to learn about how you guys learn how to eat somtam is different from the regular salad.
Other than that the video looks great.
Love papaya salad, one of my favorites!!!

Your wife is beautiful ❤️
I think so too!
Why not ear family style? Order for everybody to share. Not mine dish and her dish. That is the thai way
They serve 12 year olds ?
They might but I don't know :)
Make life easier for yourself mate, spend a little money and take some Thai language classes, you won't be disappointed.
so cheap; consider to retired around Hua Hin and nor Khao Lak anymore.
Please take more time when showing something like a menu. We can't see what is on offer unless we constantly pause the video...
The thought was a person could pause, but I u derstand and agree.
