Cicada Market

Hua Hin's Creative Weekend Market

About

Cicada Market in Khao Takiab is Hua Hin's premier arts and crafts market, offering a more upscale and creative alternative to the standard night market. Open Friday through Sunday evenings, it's become a must-visit for anyone interested in Thai arts and culture.

The market showcases handmade crafts, original artwork, unique home furnishings, designer clothing, and vintage items. Unlike typical tourist markets, almost everything here is locally made by Thai artisans and designers—you won't find mass-produced knockoffs.

Live music and performances are a regular feature, with bands and artists performing on outdoor stages throughout the evening. The creative atmosphere makes it as much an entertainment venue as a shopping destination.

Food vendors offer gourmet street food and international options alongside Thai classics. Prices are higher than the night market but still reasonable, and the quality reflects the more curated selection.
