IN THE HEART OF SEASIDE CITY, A HUA HIN THAI RESTAURANT, nestled near the rolling waves and bustling markets, lies a gem known to locals and travelers alike—Baan Gliwang. Two decades ago, in a quaint corner of this seaside town, a food passionate named GAI opened the doors to what would become a beloved institution.

Inspired by the culinary traditions of her childhood, GAI sought to create a space where authentic Thai flavors could flourish, offering dishes that were both rare and rooted in history. The restaurant quickly became known not only for its delicious offerings but also for the warmth and nostalgia it evoked, making every visit a journey through Thailand’s rich cultural tapestry.
