Big C Market
This Big C supermarket serves as a reliable one-stop shopping destination for visitors and residents alike in Hua Hin, offering a broad range of products including groceries, household essentials, clothing, and alcohol. Beyond the main supermarket floor, the centre houses a KFC, a bakery, a pharmacy, a coffee shop, and ATM facilities, making it a genuinely practical stop rather than just a grocery run. A cluster of additional grocery vendors operates in the outdoor parking area, adding further variety for those looking to pick up fresh or local produce. The store has been modernised and expanded in recent years, with generally well-stocked shelves and friendly staff. Visitors from abroad will find a selection of familiar international products alongside local Thai goods. The fresh vegetable section has received mixed feedback, so those with specific produce needs may want to supplement their shop elsewhere. Note that alcohol purchases are restricted to two windows during the day: 11:00am to 2:00pm and 5:00pm to 10:00pm, in line with Thai law. The store opens daily from 9:00am to 9:00pm, giving visitors plenty of flexibility. Weekends tend to draw larger crowds, so a mid-morning visit on a weekday is the most comfortable option. The centre has ample parking, and the location in Hua Hin makes it straightforward to reach by car or songthaew. Note that pets are not permitted inside the store.

Visitor Reviews
Good market have pharmacy, coffee shop KFC restaurant, ATM plenty of parking.
Good product range, the store has been modernized and expanded, good price, they have some farang foods, friendly staff. The one thing that needs improvement is the fresh vegetables department. Sometimes veggies are not too fresh, or something is sold out when you need it, or they're expensive, or the price label is unclear. The butchery also needs improvement: quite often the meat in the trays is dried out and not very fresh. Some staff members there are not exactly in a hurry to help customers either: i once counted 6 of them around me, and none of them were even looking at me. Apart from these points it's all quite good. Especially the wide product range and the quick checkouts with friendly staff members are a plus. It's also quiet in there, no loud music or anything, which adds to a comfortable shopping experience.
At Big C there are Toilets KFC Bakery Wide range of products including alcohol. The alcohol is available between 11am & 2pm and also 5pm & 10pm

Haggle at Markets, Not Malls
Prices at market stalls are negotiable — start at 50–60% of the asking price and meet in the middle. Fixed-price shops and malls don't haggle. Smile and keep it friendly; aggressive bargaining is considered rude.
Arrive Early or Late
Vendors believe the first sale of the day is lucky — you'll often get a better deal if you arrive right when the market opens. Late in the evening, sellers may also discount to avoid packing unsold goods.
Be Cautious with Tailors
Bangkok has excellent tailors, but also many tourist traps. Avoid anyone offering suspiciously cheap suits or who approaches you on the street. Ask your hotel for recommendations, read reviews, and always get two fittings.
