Overview of “The Heritage of Gang”
A Taste of Tradition:
Exploring Thai Curry at Baan Gliwang Hua Hin
Nestled along the shimmering coast of the Gulf of Thailand, Hua Hin has long been a haven of tranquillity and royal retreat.
This once-quiet fishing village transformed into a sophisticated resort town when King Rama VII built his summer palace, Klai Kangwon (Far From Worries), in the 1920s.
As Thai nobility and elite flocked to this seaside gem, they brought along the refined tastes of the royal court, including a deep appreciation for the exquisite "Gang" - the heart and soul of Thai cuisine.
It's in this historic setting that Baan Gliwang found its home, carrying forward the torch of culinary tradition. As you step into our restaurant, you're not just entering a dining establishment; you're stepping into a living museum of flavour, where each dish tells a story of Hua Hin's journey from a fisherman village to a culinary destination.
At Hua Hin Thai restaurant, Baan Gliwang, we believe that to understand Thai cuisine, one must dive deep into the world of "Gang." That's why we're thrilled to introduce our special series, "The Heritage of Gang. " In it, we'll take you on a flavorful journey through four iconic Thai curries, each meticulously prepared to honour age-old recipes.
In each episode, we'll share the secrets behind our carefully crafted curries and weave in tales of Hua Hin's rich history. From the first railway that connected this small town to the capital, bringing with it new flavours and influences, to the royal endorsement that put Hua Hin on the map - every story enhances the flavours in our pots.
At Baan Gliwang, we see ourselves as custodians of culinary heritage. Our chefs have spent years studying traditional recipes, some dating back to the early days of Hua Hin's royal connection. We've sought out local ingredients, supporting the fishing community that still thrives here and the farmers who cultivate the aromatic herbs that give our curries their distinctive character.
As you join us on this journey through "The Heritage of Gang," you'll taste more than exquisite curries. You'll savour the legacy of Thai royalty, the warmth of Hua Hin's community, and the passion of those who have dedicated their lives to preserving and elevating Thai cuisine.
