Saphan Pla Night Market

Nice local night market! Really unique as this is the first time I visited a night market sited at the pier. Breezy and lots of street food spoilt for choices and quite cheap as well. Worth visiting it but take note it's a weekend market. Can try the tom yum soup and it had 5 big prawns with mushrooms in it, grilled jellyfish and scallops were out favourite. We also bought a longan drink which is real longan, not the canned type and bought deep fried shisamo fish, grilled squid and sausages.

I had an amazing time here. The atmosphere is warm, relaxing, and full of charm, and all the vendors are so friendly and always smiling. It makes the whole place feel even more welcoming. With plenty of delicious food options at reasonable prices and a captivating evening view, it’s the perfect spot to unwind. I would definitely come back again.

Saphan Pla Night Market is unlike any other night market in Hua Hin. Located at the far end of a working fishing pier, it offers a striking blend of local life and quiet seaside charm. As you walk past the fishing boats and approach the pier, you’ll notice a simple but atmospheric setup: rows of blue tents selling grilled meats, seafood, snacks, and drinks, and a line of bright yellow tables and chairs facing the open sea. It’s all very casual—plastic stools, handwritten signs, the scent of seafood grilling in the air—and yet the setting makes it feel special. The market isn’t large, and it doesn’t try to be. There are no crowds pushing past souvenir stalls, no loud music, no commercial gloss. Instead, you’ll find families and couples sitting peacefully by the water, watching the sky turn pink over the horizon while nibbling on skewers or sipping cold drinks. Despite the market’s modest size, there’s enough variety in the food to make it worth the visit, and prices are noticeably lower than in the more tourist-centric parts of town. It had rained just before we arrived, so the ground was still glistening, adding a reflective quality to the whole scene. The air smelled of sea salt and grilled squid. A few vendors chatted with each other, while others quietly scrolled on their phones between customers. It felt local in the best sense—not a market trying to impress outsiders, but one that simply exists for people to enjoy the evening. This is a place you come to when you’re not in a rush. The mood is slow and serene, and the views—especially of the lights starting to flicker on at the Hilton in the distance—are lovely. If you’re after an authentic and peaceful end to your day, this is where you want to be.
