Cicada Market
Hua Hin's weekend art market by Khao Takiab, Friday to Sunday 16:00 to 23:00, with makers' stalls, a food court and amphitheater shows at 19:45 and 21:00.
This lot leans heavily nocturnal, with weekend and one-night-a-week night markets making up most of it, plus a couple of oddities like a mall, a supermarket and a chocolate factory. Cicada, a weekend institution, takes the top spot, though Chatchai is where you go if you'd rather see people buying dinner than souvenirs.
