HUA HIN AREA GUIDE
Where to Eat in Hua Hin
Wondering where to eat in Hua Hin? From fresh-off-the-boat seafood and bustling fresh markets to beachfront restaurants and relaxed cafes, this local food guide covers the flavours worth seeking out during your stay.
Seafood, straight from the Gulf
Hua Hin grew up as a fishing town, and seafood is still its calling card. The nightly Hua Hin night market is the easiest place to start, with grills piled high with prawns, squid and whole fish cooked to order. For a more scenic meal, head to the beachfront and harbourside seafood restaurants, several of which sit right over the water. Order what looks freshest and confirm any by-weight prices before you commit.
Fresh markets and street food
For a taste of daily life, visit the Chatchai fresh market in the centre of town, where locals shop for tropical fruit, curries, grilled meats and Thai sweets. It is a wonderful spot for an inexpensive breakfast or a bag of snacks to bring back to the villa. Street food stalls dot the town throughout the day, so keep an eye out for busy stands with a steady local crowd, usually a reliable sign of quality.
Weekend food markets
On weekends, the food scene spreads out to the open-air markets. The Cicada Market near Khao Takiab has an excellent food court alongside its arts and live music, while the neighbouring Tamarind Market adds more stalls and a lively evening atmosphere. Both are great for grazing across many small dishes in one visit. Opening days and hours vary by season, so check current hours and prices before you visit.
Cafes and slow mornings
Hua Hin has a thriving cafe culture, with stylish coffee shops and bakeries scattered through town and along the coast. They make a relaxed spot for a leisurely breakfast, an afternoon iced coffee or a cool break from the sun. If you would like recommendations tailored to your tastes, our concierge team is happy to point you toward current favourites, and you can also check our events page for food-related happenings.
Getting around from Bayside 19
Most of the best eating is within a short trip of Soi Hua Hin 19. Walk to the town centre and night market in about 20 minutes, or hop on a green songthaew, book a Grab, or rent a scooter or bicycle to reach the markets further south. It is easy to eat well and get straight back to the villas.
Stay right on the sand
