Cicada Market

This place is an excellent spot for everyone who visits Hua Hin. It isn’t hard to come here; you can take a Grab or public transportation such as tuk-tuk or songthaew, and there is a parking lot across the market for those who drive themselves. The market is lively with music and art. In the back of the market, there are many handmade items by local artists from small crafts to large canvas paintings. For those who crave music, near the restroom, there is a live music show where you can grab drinks and enjoy the atmosphere of the market. The last time I visited, they played jazz music which I really enjoyed, and I was impressed by the musicians a lot. Not only that, there is a magic show for young children available at 7 pm and 9 pm in front of the market. For the food zone, they might be a little bit pricey but affordable and understandable as a Thai person, the food is nice and there are many multicultural cuisines options you can choose. Drinks and desserts are also available. I highly recommend the pineapple crackers which are under the white building, they are always fresh out of the oven, the scent is irresistible.

I absolutely love Cicada Market and make sure to visit every single time I go to Hua Hin. It has become a must-visit place for me, no matter how many times I’ve been before. The atmosphere is lively yet relaxed, with a strong artistic and creative vibe that makes walking around very enjoyable. One of the best things about Cicada Market is that it’s perfect for all generations. I often bring my parents along, and they always enjoy it just as much as I do. There are beautiful handmade crafts, local art, live music performances, and a wide variety of food stalls, so there’s something for everyone. The market is clean, well-organized, and easy to walk around without feeling overwhelmed. It’s a wonderful place to spend the evening—great for strolling, eating, taking photos, and simply enjoying the atmosphere. Cicada Market always leaves me with a good mood, and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Hua Hin.

If you are spending a weekend in Hua Hin, Cicada Market is an absolute must-visit. Unlike some of the more chaotic markets in Thailand, Cicada has a relaxed atmosphere that makes for a fantastic night out. The variety is massive!! Plenty of fresh seafood, classic Thai street food, and even some great international options. There is live music everywhere! It makes the whole experience feel like a mini-festival. We had a great experience and would go back in a heartbeat!
