The Chocolate Factory Huahin
The name undersells it. Yes, there's a counter of small in-house chocolates, boxed up neatly enough to work as gifts, and yes, the Thai Tea flavour is worth trying because it actually holds up against the chocolate rather than fighting it. But there's also a café doing chocolate drinks (the 70% gets recommended and it's rich without sitting heavy), a dessert list, and a proper restaurant behind all of it.
The food side is run by a local chef with a following, and reviewers keep coming back to the crispy pork for its crunch and flavour. Fried squid gets good marks too. The fish curry, less so, thin and watery by more than one account, so I'd order around it. The chocolate lava cake arrives with a dry ice cloud, which is silly and fun in equal measure. Service is mostly warm and smiling, though a few people have found it patchy, particularly when the restaurant fills up.
Mornings are quiet if you just want a drink and a browse without a crowd.

Reviews from Google
I kept seeing this place as I was driven to other places around Hua Hin. I felt an urge to go before my vacation was over so on a down day I got dropped off here and I was not disappointed. I did not patronize the restaurant, but how to in the future. I enjoyed everything I bought from brownies to chocolate to wine. The staff was smiling and helpful with a sense they were happy to help you. I got a wine bottle from Australia, so I already knew this would be good, but price wise it might've been a bit high. Either way my overall bill was fine. I will go back here.
During our visit to Chocolate Factory Hua Hin, we were impressed by the variety of petite, in-house-made chocolates available. The chocolates are nicely crafted, and there are many interesting dessert options to choose from. We decided to try the chocolate lava cake, which came with a dry ice presentation. The smoky effect created a visually exciting moment and added a sense of drama to the dessert, making it a unique experience. That said, the service quality did not meet expectations, especially considering Thailand’s well-known hospitality standards. We were not greeted upon arrival, which immediately felt unwelcoming. When the lava cake was served, the waitress placed the dessert at the corner of the table and poured water onto the dry ice without explaining anything beforehand. There was no warning or introduction to the presentation, which was disappointing because this was clearly a moment many guests would want to photograph or record. After pouring the water, the staff simply walked away without checking on us or engaging further. While the food and desserts were enjoyable, the lack of attentiveness and basic customer interaction affected the overall experience. With better service and communication, this place could be much more enjoyable.
[Nov 2025] Nice variety of good chocolates. There are usual flavours, as well as flavours with a local twist like Thai Tea - this taste complemented the chocolate well. Had a chocolate drink at the cafe. The 70% which was recommended, was rich without being too filling. It was quite empty that morning, so was a good place to relax and chill.

Tips for Visiting Markets & Shopping
Haggle at Markets, Not Malls
Prices at market stalls are negotiable — start at 50–60% of the asking price and meet in the middle. Fixed-price shops and malls don't haggle. Smile and keep it friendly; aggressive bargaining is considered rude.
Arrive Early or Late
Vendors believe the first sale of the day is lucky — you'll often get a better deal if you arrive right when the market opens. Late in the evening, sellers may also discount to avoid packing unsold goods.
Be Cautious with Tailors
Bangkok has excellent tailors, but also many tourist traps. Avoid anyone offering suspiciously cheap suits or who approaches you on the street. Ask your hotel for recommendations, read reviews, and always get two fittings.
