A friend and his Thai wife plus young daughter will stay in Hua Hin for a week soon and she likes buffet breakfasts. They will be staying between Hua Hin and Khao Takiab.
Can anyone offer suggestions for places open to non residents with good buffets, reasonable prices and no large group tours, particularly the noisy ones from neighbouring countries.

Re: Buffet breakfasts
Not sure if they still do it, but 94 Restaurant used to do a buffet breakfast.

The Thipurai City Hotel in the centre of town have a board outside advertising one but I've never tried it.

To me, plastic sausage and buffet go together. As do cold eggs and plastic ham.

Hilton or Marriott
Re: Buffet breakfasts
I did consider saying the Marriott, but didn't because of the 'Reasonable Prices' clause.
As soon as somebody states 'Reasonable Prices' what might seem expensive to somebody living local, probably sounds a bargain to somebody on holiday. It makes a recommendation very difficult.

Re: Buffet breakfasts
Not real reasonable but on Sundays McFarland house used to offer a fantastic brunch. Great quality. But we haven't been in a few years. I saw a ad for it recently so still open.

I have been twice. First time before COVID, great. Last one 3 weeks ago and no longer impressed when considering the price.migrant wrote:Not real reasonable but on Sundays McFarland house used to offer a fantastic brunch. Great quality.

A much better option is to check when Sheraton has their Sunday brunch (unfortunately not so regular). Imho a much better option than McFarland House with much better selection of food, drinks and far less in price.

Re: Buffet breakfasts
For me the McFarland price always takes into account the intimacy of the venue and the 'down on the beach' setting, also the quick and close attention of waitstaff almost on your shoulder for easy refreshing of glasses (I'm giving away one of the attractions of brunch for me). The champagne brunch package there has always been my top choice. I know should try the Sheraton option to compare, as you have.huahin4ever wrote: ↑Sat Dec 30, 2023 7:32 pmI have been twice.

Re: Buffet breakfasts
IMHO (very humble) the Sheraton is good and bigger but McFarland house (at least pre covid) was better quality. Sounds like I need to try it again.404cameljockey wrote: ↑Sat Dec 30, 2023 7:46 pmFor me the McFarland price always takes into account the intimacy of the venue and the 'down on the beach' setting, also the quick and close attention of waitstaff almost on your shoulder for easy refreshing of glasses (I'm giving away one of the attractions of brunch for me).

Re: Buffet breakfasts
A cheaper option might be the Ibis in Takiab.
Re: Buffet breakfasts
Their breakfast is iffy, but the lunch buffet is usually quite good for the price point, About 250 baht, so don't expect much.
When we stay there, never get the brekkie, unless 'free', as not a big brekkie eater. But always peek at the lunch buffet before leaving, and if one or 2 items are interesting, will sit for the pig out. Partial to the lemon pork loin when available.
