There are many amazing sites to visit in and around the coastal city of Hua Hin; to make the most of your stay, make a list of these markets you might want to try.
The night market comes alive at about 6.30 pm, when vendors line the street, selling all the colourful goods that Thai markets are known for. You can find a lot of locally sourced and handmade artsy stuff and souvenirs here, so if you plan on buying things for loved ones back home, this market has got you covered. And don't forget to bargain! You might feel awkward if it is not the norm back home, but in Hua Hin, it is a fun exchange the buyer and seller have. Just make sure you do not lowball so much that the interest is lost on the seller's side! The place is great not just for what is on sale but also for the exciting vibe, with hip music and charming bars. Enjoy an evening away from your hotel like Avani+ Hua Hin Resort, spent in this vibrant setting, enjoying the delicious food and drink on offer. The seafood here is a popular favourite.
Chatsila Market is a treasure trove and visiting this market is one of the best things to do in Hua Hin. This market is ideal for those who are looking for handmade and eco-friendly products. The market promotes sustainability and offers a variety of organic and environmentally conscious goods. If you are someone on the lookout for home decor and other stuff made of sustainable items, this place will be your dream come true.
For visitors who happen to be in the area on weekend evenings, this is an exciting and lively place to visit, especially if you have a passion for art. Buy stylish pieces of décor and creative art at the craft market, or spend time at the art gallery. Enjoy the laid-back vibes with music playing, and food and drink to suit every palate.
Artists and budding art enthusiasts alike will enjoy this colourful village with a charming bohemian vibe. Several talented artists work to make the village what it is, and visitors can enjoy exhibits in the galleries on the premises, and even get their hands dirty at one of the art workshops held here.
Sam Phan Nam Floating Market is one of the newer additions to Hua Hin's market scene. It's designed to resemble a traditional floating market and offers a wide variety of local products and dining options.
Tamarind Market is known for its food, live music, and a fun, lively atmosphere. Try out diverse dishes from Thai cuisine, as well as international options. It's a great spot for an evening out.
Transport yourself back in time at Plearnwan Vintage Village. This unique market is designed to resemble an old-school Thai village with colorful, retro buildings. You'll find vintage clothing, antiques, and classic Thai snacks.
