We visited the Cicada Markets in January. We found it to be quiet refreshing,with a lot of leather shoes, hangbags,accessories and all very reasonably priced. There were a lot of young Thais and families buying up the night we went. A very different variety of goods for sale than at the night markets. There is quiet a large restaurant in... More

If you've had enough of tacky, touristy night markets, this is the place to go. The lay out is warm, cozy and clean, creative wear and jewelry for sale and lots of local food on offer.

it's a nice small market but seems like it is made for tourists. I think the Night Market in Hoa Hin city centre is much better,more real and characteristic.Cicada market is not colored,not loud and noisy but very calm. Nice food.

Visited this venue last weekend expecting a standard night market. Far from it! The venue is well thought out with some very interesting stalls, 2 stages that were providing entertainment in various forms. Thai theatre, magicians, the best breakdance act I have ever seen and many others. The food court, open air, serves a vast array of Thai and international... More

This small local market is clean, relaxed and had some of the most unique and high quality handmade items we've seen in Thailand. No rip off garbage or touts, just genuine stuff for fair prices. Lovely food area too. Definitely come Friday as we went Sunday and regret not being able to go again!

Cicada market has a nice food court and isn't as hectic as the other markets in Hua Hin. Also, the products here are unique at a good price. Well worth the visit.

The rest of the market has some interesting stores - but i have just brought back two DVDs to our hotel - both of which failed to play to the end - or had serious faults matching sound and picture. Given that i bought five in total and am yet to play the others - i am not hopeful. What... More

If you are ever in Hua Hin then the Cicada Night Market is well worth a visit. Located south of the town towards Khao Takieb it is easily found as it is right outside the Hyatt Barai Hotel. From Hua Hin town it will only take you about 10 minutes in one of those little tuk-tuks for a fixed price... More
