The Royal Project shop is a great spot to enjoy a fragrant cup of organic coffee, top quality Oolong and herbal teas, and healthy snacks. This homely shop also sells fresh fruits and vegetables, preserved foods from Royal Project centers in Chiang Mai, and some charming  souvenirs including handmade cotton scarves, fresh and dried flowers.

For over twenty years, the Royal Project Foundation, initiated by His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej, has worked tirelessly to improve the livelihoods of remote, Thai highland communities. The Royal Project team has helped villagers to replace opium cultivation with chemical-safe agriculture, such as delicious, cool-climate fruits and vegetables. The Royal Project shops help to bring these products to the market.  

Address: 214 Petchkasem Road, Hua Hin. (Next to Soi 84. )

Vegetarian food with a smile, in Hua Hin, Thailand

There are several, very simple Thai vegetarian 
restaurants set in a small side-street off Petchkasem Road, Soi 70. Turn off Petchasem road into Soi 70. After 30 metres, you will see a Chinese temple on the right. Walk towards the temple and take the first, small street on the left. Look out for small, yellow, triangular flags, which indicate vegetarian food. Many western and Indian restaurants also serve some vegetarian dishes.
