Kim is amazinly beautiful! You can tell she has been gorgeous her whole life. Great video.

Oh my... thank you!!!! ❤

[@jimbopettersson4320]

Thats our favorite to, its amazing. Cant wait to juli to visit it again.

[@AlmostRetiredinThailand]

Maybe we will see you there!!!

[@jenaimorgan3611]

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.

[@AlmostRetiredinThailand]

We eat there once a week. We take people there and they are always very happy!!!

[@whiskersredwood7903]

Wow, those desserts looked awesome, as did that shrimp soup

[@AlmostRetiredinThailand]

It is all so good. I can't think of any better food.

[@user-hx9ng2rl3e]

I m Thai ,who lives in condo located in Chaam- Huahin area, will surely visit this restuarant because of you guys😁👍🤟😋

[@AlmostRetiredinThailand]

We love Thai food... Lots of great places around. Enjoy!!!

[@DaisyAmay]

This will be on the list on our next visit to Hua Hin. Thank you!

[@AlmostRetiredinThailand]

We love it there.

[@367scotty]

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.

[@AlmostRetiredinThailand]

Agreed 100%. This is one of the things that makes Thailand special for us.

[@chucksw1]

wow Amazing, I need to visit Thailand!!!

[@PK-nm8wu]

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!

[@AlmostRetiredinThailand]

You will love it Paul!!! I suggest over ordering!!!

[@user-ln6pm7yk8n]

Amazing lovely couple. Please kerp videos coming. Very tempting to move to Tailand.

[@AlmostRetiredinThailand]

Thank you. I had to make a short notice trip back to the US... I'll be back.

[@Mary-AnnMcGowan-lx6en]

Gosh. Looks amazing. Many thanks.

[@AlmostRetiredinThailand]

Absolutely love this restaurant.

[@munichflyer]

Thanks for the recommendation. Have just been there, great food.

[@peggyguest5812]

Wow amazing looking food 😮

[@AlmostRetiredinThailand]

Food is so good here.

[@waynesculinaryworld3919]

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

[@AlmostRetiredinThailand]

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!!!

[@johnnygerard6605]

We love that place. Cant wait to return. Oh, I always get the fried papaya salad krap

[@AlmostRetiredinThailand]

The fried papaya sale... somtam thod... is our favorite, obviously... and the spicy pork salad...

[@RLTW_03]

Love your videos! From one Realtor to the other from Peoria, AZ

[@AlmostRetiredinThailand]

Thanks. I am in Gilbert now on a short notice trip!!!

[@RLTW_03]

@@AlmostRetiredinThailand hope everything is okay. Safe travels back

[@wphillips7217]

That was a fun video guys, I definitely hope to stop in there in the future!

[@AlmostRetiredinThailand]

The place is great!!!

[@changnam5083]

The translation of the restaurant‘s name is: Papaya salad sister Bee 🐝 Bee (Phueng in Thai) is probably the owner‘s nickname.

[@AlmostRetiredinThailand]

Awesome!!! Thank you!!!

[@allanwilliams1814]

Hah living the life, you 2 are definitely almost retired, enjoy, I am envious and ready to return to Hua Hin.

[@AlmostRetiredinThailand]

Hua Hin will be here... is too :)

[@thanaang1455]

It is in my bookmark now 😋

[@AlmostRetiredinThailand]

We love it there... at least once a week for us.

[@scottjohnson921]

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.

[@AlmostRetiredinThailand]

For us it is our absolute favorite. Great food, prices and service.

[@georgewest3926]

Quality pure quality 👌 😊

[@AlmostRetiredinThailand]

Not just the food but the service too.

[@genebaket]

Going to go there tonight. Thanks for the heads up.

[@AlmostRetiredinThailand]

My guess is you should love it!!!

[@genebaket]

@@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

[@TadaMinburi]

Perfect date night 🙏

[@anthonymoore7586]

So miss Thai food

[@pinkorchid333]

Hello! From California!

[@AlmostRetiredinThailand]

Hello... I am currently in California myself. Had to make a short notice uneexpected trip.

[@dcasper5]

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]

Haha... it is hard to walk by that place!!!

[@dcasper5]

@@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.

[@TheLast2Percent]

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

[@AlmostRetiredinThailand]

Thank you. I appreciate you sharing this.

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.

[@jackmodoc578]

Restaurant is the name of the owner, “Honey”

[@peterjhhoey7567]

[@AlmostRetiredinThailand]

Love rhe food here.

[@ELCEV]

oh man, that dessert looks so good and dangerous 😅

[@AlmostRetiredinThailand]

Just found out our favorite restaurant also serves ice cream. Will share at some point 😀

[@williamterry9819]

Thanks for the videos! How was the conversion to Thai driving on the left? That seems like a nightmare…..

[@AlmostRetiredinThailand]

Just have to keep repeating... left... left... left...

[@wariwanda1]

ฉันไปหัวหินมา5ครั้งแต่ไม่ค่อยรู้จักร้านอาหารแบบนี้ อาจเป็นเพราะฉันไปไม่บ่อย จึงเข้าร้านที่ค่อนข้างราคาแพง ครั้งต่อไปช่วงซัมเมอร์ที่จะถึงฉันจะหาร้านแบบคุณบ้าง..ขออนุญาตชม ภรรยาของคุณสวยมาก

[@AlmostRetiredinThailand]

Thank you for telling me my wife is beautiful... this place is really good to eat at. Enjoy.

[@kimberleyssandbox]

❤ thank you

[@munichflyer]

There's a Swensen's in Hua Hin City Center, too. It's near to the clock tower.

[@AlmostRetiredinThailand]

Yes, I forgot about that one. Haven't been, but will go :)

[@chriskiviphoto]

2 meals a day is okay for me, I could def live here, for cheap. Cars however, are expensive.

[@AlmostRetiredinThailand]

We paid less for our car in Thailand than we would have in the US... about $5K USD less.

[@organizmen]

i'll be there in 2 weeks

[@AlmostRetiredinThailand]

I will be back in 2 weeks after a trip to the states. Can't wait.

[@willisbailey6648]

Ya we are there a few times a week

[@AlmostRetiredinThailand]

Just like us!!!

[@alanabelch672]

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

[@hownwen]

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

[@AlmostRetiredinThailand]

I will let Kim know you had commented and asked her a question. She also has a KZbin channel - named Kimberleys Sandbox.

[@hownwen]

@@AlmostRetiredinThailand thank you

[@kimberleyssandbox]

I just keep moving!!! I do workout and run/walk incline several days a week. When Dave comes, I blow my diet everytime :(

[@reginaldgraves1684]

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.

[@AlmostRetiredinThailand]

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.

[@80somboontanarat17]

Jae Phueng= sister bee

[@AlmostRetiredinThailand]

Thank you.

[@sandypath80]

Somtom (papaya salad) Jae (sis) Pheung (Bee): pheung pronounced pu-ung

[@AlmostRetiredinThailand]

Thank you.

[@adrianchin2970]

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.

[@AlmostRetiredinThailand]

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 🙄

[@pinkorchid333]

Som Tam means papaya salad, Jae Phueng is her name.

[@AlmostRetiredinThailand]

Yes, thank you.

[@charlesschorb3725]

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

[@AlmostRetiredinThailand]

It helps but many times not necessary.

[@KingXRP007]

Maybe he's filling you up at the Thai cheap restaurant then splurging only on a western dessert 🍨 😂😂

[@AlmostRetiredinThailand]

Just found out this place serves ice cream... didn't even know that :)

[@jampasurprenant1794]

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.

[@AlmostRetiredinThailand]

Love papaya salad, one of my favorites!!!

[@victordasilva5255]

They serve 12 year olds ?

[@AlmostRetiredinThailand]

They might but I don't know :)

[@francisinghels9765]

so cheap; consider to retired around Hua Hin and nor Khao Lak anymore.
