Why should you go there and how do you do it right?

Tuesday is the key day here. This market takes place once a week from 3 pm to 10 pm, and anyone who happens to be in Hua Hin on any other day is out of luck. But you can expect an evening market that isn't geared towards tourists: locals come by after work, vendors sell everyday necessities, and food prices are tailored to locals, not just tourists.

The selection is diverse. You'll find inexpensive Thai street food, fresh fruits and vegetables, clothing, household goods, and handicrafts. For travelers on a budget, the food stalls are a real highlight. Exploring the stalls is cheaper and more entertaining than eating in a restaurant. Come early, around 3 or 4 pm, when it's quiet and the produce is at its best. After 6 pm, it gets busier, which is more fun, but also makes it harder to move around.
