Audio Guide of Cicada Market

Cicada Market is open on Fridays and Saturdays from 5:00 PM to 11:00 PM. You can get there by taxi, songthaew, or your own car; it is located in Khao Takiab, about 10 minutes from the center of Hua Hin. Check the official website for maps and updates.

Entry is completely free, there is no cost to access the market. You will only pay for food, drinks, or handicrafts you buy. It is ideal for tight budgets.

It is recommended to spend 2-3 hours to enjoy the stalls, live music, and food. If you want to see everything calmly, plan about 3 hours including dinner. It is perfect for a relaxed evening visit.

Cicada Market, opened in 2013, is a contemporary art and design night market that celebrates Thai creativity with local artists, live music, and gastronomy. It represents the vibrant modern cultural scene of Hua Hin, blending tradition and urban art.

The best time is during the cool season (November-February) to avoid the heat, and at sunset (5:00-8:00 PM) to enjoy the light and music show. Avoid the rainy season (May-October) since it is open-air.

Yes, most areas are accessible with paved paths, but there are sections with sand on the nearby beach that can be tricky. I recommend all-terrain wheelchairs; contact +66 81 495 9999 for prior assistance.

Nearby you will find Khao Takiab Beach, Khao Takiab Temple, and the Hua Hin Night Market 10 minutes away by car. There is also Klai Kangwon Summer Palace, ideal for combining visits.

Bring cash in baht for small stalls, use mosquito repellent, and wear comfortable walking shoes. Try street food like grilled seafood and arrive early for the best live shows; check the calendar on the official website.
