In this blog, we’ll cover the top five nightlife activities you won’t want to miss in Hua Hin as it shifts from a peaceful beach town to a lively nighttime scene.

1. Cicada Market

If you love shopping, Cicada Market in Khao Takiab Village is a must-visit in Hua Hin that operates on Fridays through Sundays from 4 PM to 11 PM. This market is a highlight of Hua Hin’s nightlife and showcases unique products that you won't find at other night markets in the area. It's conveniently located right behind Holiday Inn Vana Nava Hua Hin’s hotel at the back entrance, just a block from the beach, and next to the Hyatt Regency. You can easily get to Cicada Market by hopping on the green songthaews (green buses) or taking a tuk-tuk.

Cicada Market stands out because of its lovely open space, shaded by trees and adorned with lanterns. It features a variety of small, tastefully decorated eateries and stalls. Although it may not have as many stalls as the much larger Chatuchak Market in Bangkok, it offers a more relaxed atmosphere, perfect for families and tourists alike. Cicada Market is great for an evening of shopping, where you can take breaks to enjoy a cold beer, sample local dishes, or just people-watch.

In addition to shopping and dining, the Market has an amphitheater that hosts theater performances and mini-concerts, adding a cultural touch to your visit. Also, a new train station gate will connect the hotel with the train station. This will link Holiday Inn Vana Nava Hua Hin, Vana Nava Water Jungle, and other popular attractions together, and guests will be able to walk just 250 meters, or 5 minutes, to Cicada Market and Tamarin Market or even a short 700 meters walk to reach Hua Hin beach, making it simple to enjoy the best of Hua Hin.

2. Hua Hin Night Market

After relaxing at Holiday Inn Vana Nava Hua Hin, nothing beats spending an evening at the famous Hua Hin Night Market. Located in downtown Hua Hin, this market comes alive around 6:30 PM, when vendors set up along the street to offer a variety of arts, crafts, and delicious street food. The atmosphere alone makes the experience enjoyable, so even if shopping isn’t your thing, strolling around and soaking it all in is a great way to spend your evening.

The street is closed to traffic and transforms into a bustling hub filled with stalls. As you stroll through the market, you’ll be greeted by the tempting aroma of grilled seafood wafting through the air. This vibrant market is located at the intersection of Decha Nuchit Road and the famous Phetchkasem Road. Also, the hotel offers a convenient shuttle service to transfer guests directly to the Hua Hin Night Market for an even easier experience.

3. Beachfront Bars

If you're looking for lively nightlife in Hua Hin with beautiful ocean views, you should visit a couple of beachfront spots. One popular place is 111 Social House.

Plus, it's pet-friendly, so you can bring your pets along. The venue is open daily from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM, offering a great atmosphere for socializing and relaxing.

Another great option is the CoCco Bar at the InterContinental Hua Hin Resort. This beach bar serves creative cocktails with amazing views of the Gulf of Thailand, making it the perfect spot to enjoy a drink while watching the sunset. A shuttle service is also available for added convenience.
