If you are looking for unique handicrafts, vintage items or antiques then you are in the right place because Hua Hin has an abundance of such items readily available. Also, beachwear and summer accessories are readily available if you are planning on hitting the beach. Cha-Am and Pranburi are a little more on the quiet side on the shopping front, so for variety and choice you’d be better off exploring in Hua Hin town.

Cicada Market’s art-inspired concept is the first of its kind around here. Divided into four sections, the market offers mainly everything art-related, such as paintings, sculptures, home accessories and handicrafts. The landscaped garden features live music and dance performances most Friday and Saturday evenings, starting 19:00. Cicada Market is as chilled out as lounging on the beach but with a bit of colour and festivity thrown in.

Plearn Wan is like a living museum where you can experience a slice of life in 1950s Hua Hin. The two-storey courtyard building houses a community of period-style shops, a food court, an outdoor cinema screen and a 20-room guesthouse. The collection of one-off souvenirs and fashion accessories is quite impressive – even if you don’t buy anything, it makes for quite a pleasurable look around.
