Right after the Cicada Market is the Tamarind Market, another night market in Hua Hin, open only on weekends. It's located on the outskirts of town on the road to Khao Takiab. There's a stage with live music and dozens of food and drink stalls. I especially enjoyed the grilled pork ribs, but the selection is huge, ranging from prawns and Thai dishes to pizza. The food is very good and inexpensive, although the prices are a bit higher than at less touristy night markets in Thailand, and the atmosphere is pleasant. Don't expect to find souvenirs here, as the stalls almost exclusively sell food and drinks. The challenge, however, can sometimes be finding a place to sit and eat. Personally, I would prefer to eat at the Tamarind Market rather than the Cicada Market, but since they're so close together, you can check out both and decide for yourself.

Open Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from 4 pm to 11 pm.

To get from the center of Hua Hin to the Tamarind Market, you can take the green shared taxis (songthaews) towards Khao Takiab (THB 15).
