Chatchai Market

Hua Hin


The city's main fresh market resides in a historic building built in 1926 with a distinctive seven-eaved roof in honour of King Rama VII. You can piece together a good breakfast with fresh fruit, mŏo þîng (grilled pork), þlah·tôrng·gŏh (Chinese-style doughnuts) and the like.
