About Hua Hin Night Market (Chatchai/Dechanuchit Night Market)
This is the classic nightly market in the heart of town, a covered strip packed with grilled-seafood restaurants, souvenir stalls, snacks and clothing. It runs every night and it is right in the centre, so it is an easy stroll from most central hotels and good for a bit of evening atmosphere.
Now the honest part. It is heavily touristy, the seafood restaurants are pricier than what you will find elsewhere, and the touts can be pushy. It is fun for the buzz, but it is not where locals go for a bargain dinner.
Go in with your eyes open. Check prices and portions before you order anything, especially at the seafood spots, and treat it more as an experience than a value meal.
