This is a great place to sit, have a drink, and people watch. It’s a very large market that combines food, drink, art, and music beautifully. It’s only open on weekends. It’s well designed and lit with thousands of white lights and filled with white tented vendors. There was no way to see all of it in just a few hours. Before you can buy any food or drink you must stop at the coupon booth because they only take coupons. If you buy too many you can return them for a refund up to an hour before closing. Very enjoyable evening.

If I ever knew tamarind market is just beside cicada, I would never go there and eat. The food was 1/4 more expensive but taste not 1/4 better. I tried both Tom yum wanton soup and barbecued pork. It was the worst meal I ate in Thailand. The food was so below average.
The only thing that scored this review was a nice couple that sold leather wrist band. They were sincere people who took pride in their work. after consulting them whether I could shower with the wrist band on they immediately said no. The shop not far away, on the contrast, said yes. Water should not be leathers best friend right?
After I purchase a wrist band, the male owner took his time adjusting the circumference, and let me tried a few times until it was finally settled.
The three stars are for them.

Absolutely recommend this market. It is brilliant, lots of arts and crafts on show and offer. Right next door to Tamarind food market serving lots of different types of cuisine, including Thai. The kids will love it here. Highly recommend.

The cocada market is often very crowded during high season. If you coming by your own car there is a parking behind/beside the market for 50 bath. Its a nice market well worth a visit

Weekend entertainment. Music, shows, street food of all kind, small shops of crafts and local handicrafts, T-shirts, clothes and everything one can imagine. Couple of hours is easy to spend here in this lovely park.

Mainly food and a few arts and craft stalls . You need to buy tokens at the booths that are dotted around to buy food. We tried several dishes from a selection of sellers and they were all tasty. Good for a few hours if you are eating but not much else at the market apart from arts and crafts. Baht buses stop outside so it's easy to find. There

This is a fabulous market. Everything is upmarket and a good variety. Food was an excellent selection too. I spent a few hours listening to the music. This is a must visit market in HuaHin. I think they only open Saturday and Sunday.

This is a weekend night market, not only have food but also have other items for sale too. This night market do have quite a lots of art and crafts and clothing’s items to see among the bazaar stalls.
But you have to buy their food coupons first in order to buy from the food stalls, which I think is a backward way to do business. You can exchange back the balance for cash but you are still killing the trees using this coupons way. Why can’t we use reusable cash card or use smart card QR code for payment? 🤔

This place has a nice vibe. The food selection is more of an upscaled version of local and international fare. The restrooms are clean and well-maintained.

Hi, Its my first time To Thailand and I would like to drive a car from Bangkok to Huahin..
My question is, is it any parking spot provided in Huahin night market , cicada night market or even at huahin beach?
or we just park at sideways?
is it better to drive the car to nightmarket or better using public transportation? I`m afraid night market is very crowded and not accessible by car?
Thank you for the answer

I did see some parking but it is crowded. I would get a room at a hotel near the beach and walk or get a tuk tuk to the market. Much easier!

The Cicada Market is open Friday to Sunday only. It has a different feel to it. Food is varied and better than night market. Live entertainment too at Cicada.
Tamarind market is open Thursday to Sunday and is mainly food.
The Cicada and Night Market are a Tuk tuk ride away and will cost 150 baht.

Tuk Tuk across the G Hua Hin then 10-15 mins. Walking quite far we are next to Hyatt.
There is a green bus ( Songthaew) cheaper

It is not walking distance (or a loooong walk LOL). It's an easy 5 min tuk tuk ride. We stay at Centara and it's 150 Baht each way. There are plenty of tuk tuks outside Hilton, and likewise outside Cicada. Only operates Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings. We always go early, and usually on Sunday.
