Thailand’s rich history and culture, along with its abundant natural landscapes, are beloved by many tourists. The country’s islands and beaches are especially well-known as vacation spots in Southeast Asia. Now, without even leaving the country, you can immerse yourself in an authentic local cultural atmosphere. Located in Neipu Township, Pingtung, the Thai Stilt House restaurant—true to its name—features traditional Thai stilt house architecture, and is Taiwan’s first traditional Thai-style building,In addition, the park is designed to resemble a Thai tropical environment, brimming with a resort-like ambiance, which has sparked heated discussion in Pingtung.

As soon as you enter the park, you’ll see towering stilt houses that look like magnificent palaces. The buildings are made entirely of wood, and their classic spire designs are the most eye-catching feature. Walking up to the second floor offers a panoramic view of the entire park, giving visitors the illusion of being in Thailand. Strolling along the park’s brick-paved pathways, you’ll find many pavilions made of thatch and wood, as if stepping into the jungles of Southeast Asia. The menu mainly features traditional Thai dishes, including a variety of larb (spicy meat salad) options, Thai-style fried shrimp cakes, desserts, and drinks.
