Overview

Cicada Market opened in October 2010 in the Suan Sri area near Khao Takiab, south of the Hua Hin town centre, on a 10-rai site conceived as a forum for local artists and designers to exhibit and sell their work. It runs Friday to Sunday evenings and is Hua Hin's design-led weekend market, focused on handmade crafts, art, fashion and home decor from local makers, alongside a weekly schedule of live entertainment -- local bands, international acts, theatre, performance art and dance -- on a central stage, plus a large open-air food court.
