Hua Hin Night Market

Hua Hin Night Market, known locally as Talat Toh Rung Hua Hin, runs along Dechanuchit Road in the centre of town, a few hundred metres north of the old railway station. It is the town's longest-running night market and the first stop for many visitors on their first evening.

Stalls sell clothes, crafts and souvenirs, but the food is the main event: open-fronted seafood restaurants display fresh prawns, crab and fish on ice, and street vendors sell grilled skewers, fruit and desserts. It fills up after dark and has a lively, holiday feel.

What to order

• Grilled river prawns or squid, chosen from the ice display
• Pla kapong neung manao: whole sea bass steamed with lime and chilli
• Hoy tod: crispy mussel or oyster omelette
• Mango sticky rice from the dessert stalls
