Hua Hin Night Market runs along Soi Hua Hin 72, off Phetkasem Road, and you can walk to it from the town centre and Hua Hin Beach. It's open every day from around 6pm until midnight — an old, long-running night food market with hundreds of stalls, from pick-your-own seafood to old-school dessert vendors. If it's your first time, walk the full length of the lane before you commit to anything, because the good stuff is spread across both sides.
Grilled seafood and pick-your-own
The star of this market is the seafood stalls that lay out prawns, shellfish, squid and crab on beds of ice out front. You walk up, point at what you want, pay by weight or by the piece, and they grill or cook it fresh. Prices swing with size and season, so ask before you order every time and you'll save yourself the surprise at the till.
Pa Jaeng Fresh & Dried Squid
The go-to grilled squid stall in the market. Big squid grilled over charcoal until fragrant, dipped in punchy seafood sauce, with oyster omelette on the side too. There's almost always a small queue here.
Pick-your-own seafood stalls at the lane entrance (KO / Duangjai)
A cluster of seafood stalls with trays of prawns, shellfish and squid out front to choose from. Order grilled prawns, grilled squid or blanched shellfish however you like — cooked fresh right in front of you. Great if you come as a group and share.
Je Tim Fish Rice Soup
If you want something warm and a hot bowl of broth, this stall does fish rice soup and seafood tom yum — bold, well-balanced flavours. Good to finish a meal or for a cooler evening.
Seafood tip
Most pick-your-own stalls charge by weight. Before they put it on the scale, ask the price per kilo and keep an eye on the scale too, so the final bill doesn't catch you off guard. Seafood that looks fresh — clear eyes, firm flesh — is a good sign.

Half a day with a local who knows the lanes — or cooking a dish yourself — teaches you more than just eating. Book ahead on Klook or GetYourGuide.
Pad thai, oyster omelette and hot savoury plates
There's no shortage of hot plates here: pad thai from a steel wok with that wood-fire aroma, crispy oyster omelette, pork satay, grilled pork skewers, all the way to fried chicken. Easy to eat as you walk.
Pad Thai Mae Yai
Pad thai from a hot wok with chewy, tender noodles and a well-balanced flavour that leans slightly sweet. Order it with prawns or wrapped in egg. The same stall does oyster omelette and pork satay if you want to add on.
Lung Tae Grilled Pork Skewers
An old-school pork-skewer stall in the middle of the lane that's been going for decades. Sweet, fragrant marinated pork grilled over charcoal, eaten with hot sticky rice — an easy-to-find snack while you walk that Thais love.
Old-school Hua Hin Fried Chicken
Crispy-skinned, juicy fried chicken, made fresh and hot — good as a side dish or a snack while you walk. A stall the regulars know well.
Hua Hin Meatballs
Grilled pork meatballs and noodles — easy, light, cheap filler. Good to break up a meal before moving on to the next stall.
Desserts and something to finish
Once you've eaten your fill of savoury stuff, the dessert side is still waiting — from old-school ice cream and mango sticky rice to crepes and cold Thai sweets in a cup.
Ni Ice Cream @Hua Hin
A well-loved ice cream stall in the market with 6–7 flavours to choose from, around ฿30. Customers come and go all day — an easy dessert to finish on.
Than Khun Mango Sticky Rice
Soft coconut-soaked sticky rice with sweet ripe mango — the classic Thai dessert that foreign visitors fall for too.
Mae Tap Thai Sweets
Cold tao tueng and mixed Thai sweets in a cup, around ฿30 — good for cooling off after a long walk around the market.
72 Crepes
Crispy crepes in lots of flavours, around ฿50, both savoury and sweet, made fresh in front of you.
Tips for making the most of the market
Start at the top of Soi 72 and walk all the way to the end first, then double back on the other side, so you've seen everything before deciding. If you still want more, head over to nearby Soi Dechanuchit, which has even more food stalls. Bring enough cash, because many stalls take cash only.
- Opening hours — daily, roughly 6pm to midnight; it gets busy after about 7pm.
- Parking — park near Wat Hua Hin or along the streets close to the market, for a small fee; spots fill up fast in high season.
- Getting there — off Phetkasem Road via Soi Hua Hin 72; walkable from stays in the town centre and by the beach.
- Cash — keep small notes handy; most stalls take cash, with prices from tens to hundreds of baht.
