Cicada Market Reviews
Nice place for shopping and good food
Very good food, buy tickets and go around buy whatever you like 🙂 Very nice place lovely evenings. Nice and clean area!
Worth a visit Cicada Market
Cicada Market is very good location for holiday gifts. Food is very cheap and from many parts of the world. You need to buy coupons for the food but these can be cashed back in if you don’t spend them all. Only open at weekends but definitely worth a visit if you are in HuaHin for an evening
Great artisan market
Not your typical cheap tat market. Most if the stalls sell hand made products if very high quality. There is live music dotted around the place and a good area in the centre. Very chilled out and a great experience.
Artisan Markets
Extremely clean. Well payed out. Music. Great cheap food and unique stalls selling more artistic and modern works. No usual tourist wares.
