Hua Hin Night Markets Guide 2026: 7 Markets Compared

Which Hua Hin night market is best for tonight?” Every visitor asks this, and after 18 months living here—including three months right next to Tamarind Market—I can actually answer it properly

Each market is completely different. Hua Hin Night Market is busy and touristy in the best way. Cicada is all about the handmade stuff and Instagram moments. Huana is where locals actually shop. Tamarind is where we all go to eat.

In this guide, I’ll take you through seven distinctive markets in Hua Hin, from the tourist favourites to local spots that many visitors never discover. I’ll share what makes each market special, what you can buy, and tips from my regular visits to help you make the most of your time here.

Which Hua Hin Night Market Is Best?

The answer depends on what you’re after. Tamarind Market offers the best value with live music and a great range of well priced food stalls. Cicada Night Market is perfect for handcrafted souvenirs and Instagram photos. Hua Hin Night Market delivers the most authentic Thai walking street experience that’s open daily.

Quick Reference: Hua Hin Markets at a Glance

*These opening hours may differ slightly – with some stalls staying open a little later.

Map of Hua hin Night Markets

Four markets are grouped in the north and the other three are in the south near Khao Takiab.

Ok now let’s start with the market that is open every night.

Hua Hin Night Market

The lively Hua Hin Night Market sits in the heart of the city and offers the most authentic walking street style market experience in town.

Best for: The classic Hua Hin night market experience—open every night
Known for: Seafood restaurants and live music at Railway Bar
Price range: Street food 80-100 baht, seafood restaurants 120-2,000 baht
Local tip: Arrive by 7pm for tables at popular seafood restaurants

It’s touristy enough that most places have English menus, but you’ll still see plenty of Thai families eating here. That mix is what makes it work.

What’s for Sale?

Hua Hin night market is an actual market in every sense. Apart from traditional street food and drinks, the stalls are packed with all kinds of goodies – handmade crafts, flowy beach dresses, and T-shirts that you’ll actually want to take home.

The quality varies, but prices are generally fair, and friendly bargaining is expected.

How’s the Entertainment?

For entertainment, head to the railway end of the street where you’ll find two excellent venues – Ko Bar and Railway Bar. Both offer live music starting around 7pm (sometimes earlier), with typically two artists who switch at about 9pm. The music is a mix of modern pop and rock, with earlier sets featuring more 70s and 80s classics.

What makes these venues special is the crowd participation – singers actively encourage everyone to join in, creating a fun, communal atmosphere. The most popular musicians seem to play from Thursday to Sunday.

If you want to check who’s playing during your visit, follow their Facebook pages for current band schedules: Railway Restaurant and Bar regularly posts their lineup.

What About the Prices?

Hua Hin Night Market offers the broadest range of eating options in town, with prices to suit every budget. The market features both street food stalls and street-front restaurants, giving you plenty of options depending on your mood.

At the street food stalls, you can grab three chicken skewers for 100 baht, a plate of pad thai for 80-100 baht, or various snacks and small dishes for under 100 baht. Drinks from these vendors typically range from 30-60 baht for non-alcoholic options.

The street-front restaurants offer a more comfortable dining experience with proper seating and table service. Ko Seafood and several other seafood restaurants line the soi, where you can enjoy everything from simple stir-fried dishes starting at 120 baht to extravagant seafood platters or a whole lobster for around 2,000 baht.

For dessert, don’t miss the mango sticky rice stalls or the roti vendors who prepare fresh pancake-like treats with various fillings like banana, egg, or chocolate.

Insider tips

Here are my tips from weekly visits over several months:

• Arrive around 6:30pm when most stalls are open but before the main dinner rush, especially  If you want a table at one of the popular bars or seafood restaurants.
• The massage shop opposite Railway Bar charges around 99 baht for a 30 min foot massage and 250-300 baht for an hour long one. It’s my go to because you can still enjoy the music across the soi.
• I usually get the grilled salmon with mash potato at Railway Bar when I want Western food. For Thai, Ko Bar does a really good whole fried fish with three flavours sauce.
• Grab mango sticky rice from the vendor near the intersection in the middle of the market—it’s right where the songtaew stops.
• Songtaews stop running between 8-9pm, so you’ll need Bolt or Grab if you’re staying late.

Since it’s open every night, this is a good one to hit on your first night in Hua Hin.

Hours: Hua Hin Night Market is open every day from 5pm to midnight. 
Where: Soi 72 between Phet Kasem Road and Prapokklao Road.
How to Get There: The market is at the mid way terminus of the songtaew route.

Cicada Night Market

Cicada Night Market is the most artistic market in Hua Hin. It’s toward the Khao Takiab end of town and feels completely different from the traditional Hua Hin Night Market.

Cicada at a glance:

Best for: Artisan crafts, handmade souvenirs and Instagram photos
Known for: Creative atmosphere and artistic performances
Price range: 15-20% more expensive than other markets
Local tip: Buy more food vouchers than you need early to avoid queuing twice

The entrance has butterfly wings and artistic lighting that make it pretty clear this market cares about how it looks. Hua Hin’s creative types sell their handcrafted stuff here, and there are usually performances going on.

The market splits into two parts: the dining section where street food vendors sell everything from Pad Thai and Pad Kra Pow to curries and desserts. You can also get Western food like pizza and pasta.

What’s for Sale?

Cicada has the best shopping of all the Hua Hin markets. The artisan section has handmade jewelry, paintings, handcrafted clothing, and homewares you won’t find anywhere else.

The quality isn’t always consistent, but it’s generally better than the other markets. I’ve bought a few pieces of artwork and ceramics here that I still have at home.

In the front southern corner, there’s a flea market section selling cheap clothes. It’s hit and miss, but I’ve found some decent casual wear. They sometimes have larger sizes and often stock second-hand golf clubs.

How’s the Entertainment?

Entertainment is where Cicada does well. There are two performance areas often operating at the same time.

The main stage near the entrance has live bands playing everything from jazz to Thai pop. It’s usually pretty relaxed with plenty of seating and some bean bags.

A lot of visitors miss the second performance area at the back of the dining section. I’ve seen everything from a blind pianist to traditional performers and pop/rock bands there.

What About the Prices?

The Voucher System: Cicada uses a food ticket system that’s different from other markets. You buy vouchers (100 baht per strip with mixed denominations) to pay for food. Vendors don’t take cash. You can only redeem unused tickets the same night, which means queuing again before you leave.

Cicada is noticeably more expensive than other markets in Hua Hin—about 15-20% more than Tamarind Market next door. The quality isn’t necessarily better either. I usually browse and shop at Cicada, maybe have a cocktail (they make good ones), but then go to Tamarind for dinner.

Insider Tips and What I Love (or Don’t)

After visiting Cicada regularly during my extended stays, here’s how to make the most of your visit:

• Arrive by 6pm if you want a good table near either stage—they fill up fast, especially on Saturdays. If you’re in a group, split up: one person grabs a table while others buy food vouchers.
• Voucher queues can hit 10 minutes during peak hours (7-8:30pm). Buy more vouchers than you think you’ll need early on to avoid going back.
• For food, the grilled river prawns are expensive but worth it occasionally. The Pad Thai in Egg Net is consistently good. Save room for the coconut ice cream served in a fresh coconut shell.
• If you’re buying souvenirs, walk the whole market first. Quality and prices vary a lot between similar stalls. I’ve found the vendors at the edges often have better deals than the ones in prime spots.
• Cicada has the nicest massage section of all the markets. It’s more upscale and comfortable than the other market massage shops.

Don’t forget to cash in leftover tickets before you leave. They can only be cashed in on the same day.

When: Cicada Market is a open Friday to Sunday from 5pm to midnight.
Where: Cicada Market is right on Phet Kasem Road, a couple of doors from Tamarind
How to Get There: There is a songtaew from Hua Hin Night Market every day until 8 or 9pm. It runs every 10-15 minutes, and in 2026 is 15 baht per person.

Tamarind Night Market

Tamarind Market quickly became my favorite during my extended stays in Hua Hin. Located just a few doors down from Cicada Market on Phet Kasem Road, I actually lived next to this market for three months and dined here at least three times a week. This gave me the chance to try nearly every food stall and develop some clear favorites that I return to trip after trip.

At a Glance:

• Best for: Good value food and relaxed atmosphere
• Known for: Excellent meat skewers and live music
• Price range: Similar to Hua Hin Night Market (budget-friendly)
• Local tip: Arrive by 7pm on weekends to get a good table near the stage

Tamarind has a good balance between authentic Thai street food and being comfortable for tourists. The layout is spacious and well-organised with plenty of seating. The atmosphere is relaxed but lively, with a mix of tourists, expats, and locals.

What’s for Sale?

Tamarind is mainly a food market with a lot of variety. Here’s what I go back for:

Must-Try Dishes:
The meat skewers (25 baht) on the southern side of the market are really good—you can choose fatty or non-fatty versions. The fatty ones are popular but can be quite rich.

If you like crispy pork as much as I do you may have to set yourself some boundaries here. This stuff is so good!

There are two pork rib stalls—one does Thai-style and the other does Western BBQ flavours (80-300 baht). Both are seriously good.

For Western Cravings:
The burger stand offers good value and surprisingly tasty burgers at a fraction of restaurant prices. Skip the chips—tiny serving and not particularly tasty.

Beyond these, you’ll find everything from Thai classics to international options including pizza, Indian curries, Japanese dishes, and various fusion creations.

How’s the Entertainment?

The entertainment at Tamarind is better than most markets. The bands usually play more popular Western-style music.

Early in the evening (before 7:30pm), you’ll often see school kids busking for scholarship money—some are surprisingly talented.

The main performers start after 7:30pm and the quality is consistently good. The volume is well-balanced—loud enough to enjoy but you can still talk to whoever you’re with.

What About the Prices?

Tamarind’s prices are similar to Hua Hin Night Market. Those chicken skewers (Tamarind does them best, in my opinion) are three for 100 baht. A glass of local draught beer is also 100 baht.

It’s significantly cheaper than Cicada and there’s no food voucher system—you just pay cash directly to each vendor.

Insider Tips and What I Love

After countless meals here, I’ve developed some insider tips:

• It’s significantly cheaper than Cicada and there’s no food voucher system—you just pay cash directly to each vendor.
• For dessert, get the coconut dessert (kanom krok). These little sweet pancake things have a crispy outside and soft, custardy inside. They’re made fresh and served warm.
• Walk the whole market before deciding what to eat. Each person in your group can order from different stalls, then meet back at your table.
• On weekends, try to arrive by 7pm to get a good table near the stage. The market gets busy after 8pm when people come over from Cicada after shopping.

When: Thursday to Sunday, 5pm to midnight
Where: 117 75 ซอย หัวถนน 23 Nong Kae, Hua Hin District
How to get there: Take the songtaew and get off just after you pass Cicada. There’s a large car park next door if you have your own vehicle.

Patio Oldtown Night Market

If you want a more relaxed night market experience in Hua Hin, Patio Oldtown is worth checking out.

Patio OldTown at a Glance:

• Best for: Refined market experience with comfortable dining
• Known for: Quality over quantity and pleasant atmosphere
• Price range: Mid-range (slightly higher than Hua Hin Night Market)
• Local tip: Don’t miss the art gallery on the first floor with exhibits on old Hua Hin

It’s across from Hua Hin Temple and you can access it through Hua Hin Night Market. Patio Old Town sits somewhere between traditional market atmosphere and comfortable dining.

What’s for Sale?

Patio Oldtown focuses on quality over quantity. The food options aren’t as extensive as Tamarind Night Market, but every stall serves consistently good dishes. There’s a curated selection of food vendors offering both Thai and international cuisine.

What keeps me coming back is the rotisserie chicken—it’s one of the first food stalls you see when you enter via the main walkway.

Don’t miss Mr. Moo – Grilled Thai Pork. It’s developed a following among regular visitors (myself included). The woodfire pizzas are also good—perfect cheese to filling ratio.

For souvenirs and crafts, you’ll find a mix of authentic handmade items and some of the mass-produced stuff available elsewhere. The stalls have paintings, crafts and some unique souvenirs.

How’s the Entertainment?

One of the best things about Patio Old Town is the layout. The tables and chairs are arranged around a central space where a singer or duo performs live music each evening.

It’s noticeably calmer than Hua Hin’s other markets—good for unwinding rather than battling crowds.

What About the Prices?

Prices at Patio Oldtown sit between Hua Hin Night Market and Cicada. You’ll pay a bit more than at the traditional markets, but the extra comfort, cleanliness and atmosphere make up for it. A typical Thai dish costs between 80-160 baht, and drinks are reasonably priced.

Insider Tips and What I Love

What sets Patio Oldtown apart is its cleanliness and thoughtful amenities. There are proper toilets (a rarity at Thai markets), plenty of bins for rubbish, and comfortable seating arrangements.

Insider Tips:

• Patio Oldtown stands out for its cleanliness. There are proper toilets (rare at Thai markets), plenty of bins, and comfortable seating.
• For families or people who find traditional markets overwhelming, Patio Oldtown is a more relaxed introduction to Thai market culture. The layout is spacious enough to navigate easily, even during busy periods.
• Don’t miss the art gallery on the first floor with exhibits on old Hua Hin—most visitors overlook it.
• If you’re vegetarian, Patio Oldtown has more vegetarian-friendly options than most Thai markets.

Hours: Wednesday to Sunday from 5:30pm to 11pm (closes slightly earlier at 10:30pm on Sundays and Wednesdays)
Where: Connected to Hua Hin Night Market, across from Hua Hin Temple
How to Get There: Walk through Hua Hin Night Market or take a songtaew to the main night market area.

Pai Mai Market

Pai Mai Market, also known locally as the “Tuesday Market,” is only open on Tuesdays. It sits somewhere between the purely local experience of Saphan Pla and the tourist-oriented atmosphere of Cicada or Tamarind.

Pai Market at a glance:

• Best for: Tuesday-only local experience with tourist-friendly elements
• Known for: Regional Thai specialties and affordable shopping
• Price range: Lower than tourist markets (most dishes 50-80 baht)
• Local tip: Visit after 6pm when the market is fully alive but not yet winding down

It’s at 3/107 Khan Khlong Road behind the railroad. If you’re staying longer in Hua Hin and want to explore beyond the main tourist markets, this is worth visiting. I’ve made it a regular Tuesday stop during my extended stays.

What’s for Sale?

Pai Mai Market is arranged across eight alleys for food stalls and two for consumer goods. Food is the main focus, with lots of stalls selling both ingredients and prepared dishes. The ready-to-eat food section has regional Thai specialties alongside international options like sushi and pizza.

The shopping section is geared towards locals—you’ll find clothing, household goods, and everyday items rather than tourist souvenirs. There are some flea market stalls mixed in where you can find bargain clothes and second-hand items.

The fresh produce section is impressive, with fruits and vegetables at prices much lower than tourist areas or supermarkets. If you’re self-catering, this is where to stock up.

How’s the Entertainment?

Pai Mai doesn’t have the same level of structured entertainment as the main tourist markets. You’ll occasionally find live music, but the real entertainment is the lively local atmosphere—this market is for Hua Hin residents rather than tourists.

What About the Prices?

Prices at Pai Mai sit comfortably below the tourist markets. Some locals describe it as “Cicada and Tamarind combined, but cheaper.” Food is particularly good value, with most dishes costing between 50-80 baht. Clothing and other goods are priced for locals, making it a good place to pick up essentials if you’re staying in Hua Hin for a while.

Bargaining is expected for non-food items, but prices generally start lower than at Cicada or the Hua Hin Night Market.

Insider Tips and What I Love

What I particularly like about Pai Mai is its balanced atmosphere. It’s authentic enough to provide a real Thai market experience but organised enough that it’s not overwhelming for visitors unfamiliar with Thai markets.

• Pai Mai has a good balance. It’s authentic enough to give you a real Thai market experience but organised enough that it’s not overwhelming for visitors unfamiliar with Thai markets.
• The northeastern food section is a highlight—look for the stalls serving Isaan specialties like larb (spicy minced meat salad) and grilled chicken. These dishes are often better and more authentic than what you’ll find at the tourist-oriented markets.
• The market runs from 3pm, but the best time to visit is after sunset around 6pm when it’s fully alive but not yet winding down. Early arrivals can avoid crowds, but the atmosphere builds as the evening goes on.
• The flea market section for clothing is worth checking—several friends have found good quality garments at bargain prices. The fruit stalls are also worth seeking out for fresh, affordable produce that’s cheaper than supermarkets.

The only downside? It’s only open once a week, so you’ll need to plan your Tuesday around it.

Hours: Only on Tuesdays from 3pm to 10pm
Where: 3/107 Khan Khlong Road, behind the railroad along the canal road
How to Get There: All tuk-tuk drivers know it, so just ask for “Pai Mai Market” or “Tuesday Market” or take a Bolt.

Saphan Pla Night Market

For a unique night market experience, head to Saphan Pla (meaning “Fish Bridge” in Thai)—Hua Hin’s pier market. This is completely different from any other market in the area. You get fresh seafood, cool ocean breezes, and sunset views over the Gulf of Thailand.

Saphan Pla Market at a glance:

• Best for: Fresh seafood with sunset views
• Known for: Dining over the water with sea breezes
• Price range: Affordable considering the setting (60-100 baht for most items)
• Local tip: Time your visit for sunset around 6pm for the best experience

This weekend-only market lets you eat your meal with waves lapping underneath you and the sea breeze acting as natural air conditioning on hot evenings—good for sunset drinks and fresh seafood.

What’s for Sale?

As you’d expect from a market on a fishing pier, seafood dominates. You’ll find everything from grilled scallops and squid to tom yum soup loaded with giant prawns. For adventurous eaters, there are also more unusual options like crickets, caterpillars, and grilled lobsters.

Beyond seafood, you’ll find typical Thai street food staples and some unique drinks like fresh longan juice (real longan, not the canned stuff). The drink options at the bar at the end of the pier are limited to beers and soft drinks like Sprite and Coke—no wines available—so consider bringing your own if you’re particular about beverages.

How’s the Entertainment?

The entertainment at Saphan Pla is the setting itself. The sunset views and the sound of waves beneath the pier create atmosphere that no manufactured entertainment could match. There’s occasional live music, but it’s the location rather than organised entertainment that makes this market special.

What About the Prices?

Prices at Saphan Pla are surprisingly affordable given the unique setting. Most street food items cost 60-100 baht, with seafood naturally costing more but still reasonable compared to restaurant prices for similar quality. The market caters to locals as much as tourists, which helps keep prices fair.

Insider Tips and What I Love

This isn’t a market designed for tourists—it’s a local favourite that happens to offer a great experience for visitors willing to venture beyond the main tourist areas.

• Time your visit for sunset—arrive around 6pm when the market is getting busy and the sun is beginning to set. The golden hour light makes for good photos, and you can watch the transformation from daylight to evening lights.
• There’s a free scooter service to transport visitors to the restrooms, which cost 20 baht to use.
• A bike service will drop you back down the long pier to the toilets
• For the best experience, find a seat near the edge of the pier where you can look back at Hua Hin’s coastline while eating. It’s not a large market, so you can easily sample multiple dishes in one visit.

Hours: Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 5pm to midnight
Where: Located at the fishing pier, HXG5+2JM, Hua Hin, Hua Hin District, Prachuap Khiri Khan 77110
How to Get There: Getting a Grab or taxi directly to the pier can be challenging. It’s often easier to get dropped off nearby and walk to the pier. Any local driver will know it as “Saphan Pla Night Market” or simply “the pier market.”

Huana Market (ตลาดหัวนา)

If you want to experience an authentic local market where tourists are rare, Huana Market is the place. While most wet markets in Thailand operate in the early morning, this evening wet market lets you see local food shopping after the day’s heat has passed.

Huana Market at a glance:

• Best for: Authentic local shopping experience with few tourists
• Known for: Fresh produce, seafood and everyday Thai ingredients
• Price range: Local prices (significantly cheaper than supermarkets)
• Local tip: Visit after 2pm when most vendors are set up, with peak activity around 4pm

Huana Market is much more authentic and affordable than supermarkets. It’s a working market where locals shop for daily necessities, not a tourist attraction.

What’s for Sale?

Huana Market specialises in fresh produce, seafood, meat, and everyday cooking ingredients. The variety of fruits and vegetables is impressive, with prices significantly lower than supermarkets or tourist areas. You’ll find everything from common items to hard-to-find Thai herbs and spices.

The seafood section is impressive, with fresh fish, prawns, crabs, and squid available daily. Some vendors will even clean and prepare seafood for you. If you’re lucky, you might catch vendors cooking fresh crabs and lobsters right at their stalls at a fraction of restaurant prices.

Beyond fresh ingredients, there are stalls selling prepared foods. Keep an eye out for the mango sticky rice stall with a queue, many locals think it’s the best in Thailand.

What About the Prices?

Prices here are set for locals, not tourists, making it significantly cheaper than supermarkets or other markets. Fresh fruits like mangoes, lychees, rambutans, and mangosteens typically cost between 20-40 baht per kilo (seasonal variations apply). Seafood prices vary by type and size, with prawns and squid ranging from 140-260 baht per kilo.

If you’re staying in Hua Hin for a while or have access to cooking facilities, shopping here can save you money while providing higher quality, fresher ingredients.

Tips for visiting Huana Market

• Arrive after 2pm when most vendors are set up, with peak activity around 4pm. If you arrive too early, you might find stalls still setting up.
• Few vendors speak English, but pointing and basic Thai phrases will get you by. Vendors are generally friendly and patient with foreigners who try to communicate.
• Parking can be challenging, so consider arriving by songtaew or motorbike rather than car.

Hours: Opens daily at 2pm, with most activity between 3-7pm
Where: GXM5+5XQ, 7 Phet Kasem Rd, Nong Kae, Hua Hin District, Prachuap Khiri Khan
How to Get There: Most convenient by Grab or motorbike.

Your perfect Hua Hin Market Itineraries

If you’re only in Hua Hin for a short stay, you might wonder which markets are worth your time. Here’s how to make the most of the market scene depending on how long you’re staying:

One-Night Visit (Weekend)

Got just one weekend evening? Here’s what I’d do:

• Friday to Sunday option: Combine Tamarind and Cicada Markets—they’re within easy reach of each other.
• Wednesday or Thursday option: Pair Hua Hin Night Market with Patio Oldtown for contrasting experiences.
• Tuesday only: Don’t miss Pai Mai Market—it’s only open on Tuesdays and has good local food and shopping.
• Sunset Special (Friday-Sunday): Start at Saphan Pla Pier Market around 5:30pm to catch the sunset over seafood dinner, then move to Hua Hin Night Market for some music at Railway Bar or Ko Bar.

One-Night Visit (Weekday)

For a weekday evening visit:

• Begin at Hua Hin Night Market for the classic Hua Hin market experience and some shopping.
• Continue to Patio Oldtown Night Market (Wednesday-Sunday) for dinner with live music in a comfortable setting.
• Tuesday Exclusive: If you happen to be in Hua Hin on a Tuesday, don’t miss Pai Mai Market—it’s only open on Tuesdays but offers an great blend of local authenticity and tourist-friendly amenities.

My tried and tested Weekend Market Crawl

For the ultimate weekend market experience, here’s my perfect Friday-Sunday route:

• 5-6:30pm: Start at Hua Hin Night Market – Begin with an early dinner at one of the railway end restaurants. Railway Bar’s salmon or Ko Bar’s whole fish are excellent choices. The market is less crowded early, making it easier to browse the souvenir stalls.
• 7-8:30pm: Head to Patio Oldtown Night Market – Just a short walk away, Patio offers a more refined atmosphere with live music in the central courtyard. This is the perfect place for dessert or a cocktail in a more relaxed setting. Good for dessert or a cocktail in a calmer setting. Don’t miss the upper floor with its exhibition on old Hua Hin.
• 8:30-10pm: Continue to Cicada Market – Take a quick Grab to Cicada (about 5 minutes). Arriving later helps you avoid food voucher queues while still catching artisan stalls and music performances.
• 10-11:30pm: Just a short walk from Cicada, Tamarind offers the perfect finale with evening performers in full swing and options for a final beer or late-night snack.

This route works because you’re moving from busier traditional markets to progressively more relaxed venues, ending with Tamarind’s laid-back vibe. The timing helps you avoid the worst crowds while catching each market at its best

Final Thoughts

These markets aren’t just for tourists—locals eat at them regularly and have their favourite stalls. After 18 months here, I’ve got mine too.
