Are there any of you who, like me, have to visit the local market wherever you go? Today I will tell you about the most convenient local markets in Hua Hin to experience the atmosphere of Hua Hin. There is only one morning market in Hua Hin, and other markets are afternoon markets, which means that you can only go to the supermarket at noon, and the market is closed at noon.
1. Hua Hin Morning Market (day market or chatchai market): Usually, seafood and beef tendons are bought at Hua Hin Morning Market. The morning market has a wide range of seafood. In addition to the regular shrimps, crabs, and fish, you can also buy large conches, large oysters, lobsters, horseshoe crabs, etc. It is especially not recommended to buy crabs from various markets. You will regret it once you buy them. I recommend a store selling oysters in the morning market. They are large and super fat. You can choose them yourself, and the stall owner will help you open and tie them. There is also a seafood dry goods street here. There are few fruits in the morning market, and the varieties are limited. It is not recommended to buy fruits in the morning market.
2. Huana market, night market (4-8 pm). If you live in the downtown area of the new city, including my homestay, Marriott, InterContinental, V Villa, Hyatt, and Chopsticks Mountain, this market is the closest to you. Fruits are cheap. Durian and mangosteen are all good in this season. There is a big pineapple stall inside that is delicious. There is also an old lady selling mango and mango rice, which is also good. There are three durian stalls inside, all of which are of good quality. They also sell a lot of cooked food, fried skewers, grilled chicken, grilled fish, fast food, patai noodle, freshly squeezed juice, etc.
3. Dinosaur Ruam Suk Market, night market. If you are near the old town, Elephant Village, or Big C, you can come here. It is also a comprehensive vegetable market, with chicken, duck, fish, meat, vegetables, fruits, daily necessities, clothing, grains, oils, cooked food, etc. There are also several durian stalls. I recommend an auntie selling jackfruit, which is delicious. Generally, the auntie sits there and peels while selling. It is better to pack it. I weigh it every time I go there, because the amount I pack is different every time. I buy a lot, so I summed up the experience. The amount of packing depends entirely on the auntie's mood. If she is in a good mood, she will charge me 30 baht for a big bag. If she is in a bad mood, she will charge me 30 baht for just a few pieces. Hahaha, I really like this blind box shopping experience
4. Bon Gai Fresh Market, night market, if you live near 88th Street or 94th Street, you can go here. This market is not big, and there are only a few stalls selling everything. But if you don’t have the need for bulk shopping, you can buy some food, fruits and vegetables temporarily, after all, if you live nearby, you can walk here.
In addition, there are many local markets in the suburbs and villages below. These are the most convenient in the city, and most people here can communicate in English. In the villages and suburbs, there is basically no one who speaks English. It is very difficult for foreigners to communicate, so it is not recommended to go far.
