Hua Hin Night Market
An after-dark eating crawl

Once the sky goes dark, Hua Hin Soi 72 turns into a long lane of food. Charcoal smoke from grilling prawns and squid, pad thai sizzling in hot woks, and the bright lights of the stalls — this is the dinner almost everyone who comes to Hua Hin ends up stopping for. We walk it from the top of the lane to the far end, picking out the stalls that are worth your money, with honest prices along the way.

🔄 Updated 21 Jun 2026

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.

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.

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.
