I always tried to plan things slow for night as I know that the kids are quite tired out from the full day time activities. But at least the boys were so much more well-behaved for this trip and much more less grumbling and tantrum-ing. Most of our activities at night is just going out for dinner and strolling through the night market.
Though Hua Hin is not a very big place, but it certainly do have a lot of night market, namely Hua Hin night market, Chatsila market Cicada Night market (or we can call it weekend market).
- Hua Hin night market or (or also called Chatchai night market) is more tourist-oriented , sold a lot of souvenirs, snacks, desserts, seafood.
- Chatsila night market is a more organised, clean area which focused on clothes, handicraft and accessories. I could tell the kids and hubby prefer this one to Hua Hin night market. Hubby even sit on the floor while he waited for the boys to finish their fish therapy session by playing his mobile game.
And it is certainly more photography worthy with wall murals and cute stuffs along the way which interest Joelle alot.
- Cicada Night Market is fast becoming one of the Hua Hin most popular open-air markets! Cicada Night market is certainly one that one should not miss. It’s open only on Friday, Saturday and Weekend. It definitely stand out for itself as this market is more of a platform for local artists to exhibit and sell their work, with a weekly schedule of live entertainment which includes local bands, international acts, theatre, performance art and various derivations of dance. . I were elaborate more Cicada on my Day 04 post.
KOTI Restaurant
---------------------------------------------------
Well, I love to plan holiday trip, knowing where to find popular food and place of interests and of course places to shop. I always plan out my itinerary, I love the feeling of knowing what to do and expect on each day instead of frantically thinking the night before and cracking my brain where to eat and where to go. Thus for this trip, a few eatery came up on the list while I was planning and googling for my Hua Hin Trip. Koti Restaurant is one of them. It seems to be one of the popular eatery for the local.
When we reached here, the place was still quite empty thus we got our table immediately. But while waiting for our food, the crowd started and soon queue was formed.
By the time we finished shopping Chatsila market and pass by here again, the queue was crazily long already.
These are the dishes we ordered.
Deep fried whole fish with crispy ginger
A whole bowl of Tom Yum Soup to myself.
I really like the Thai milk tea, it tasted slightly different from our Singapore, I would feel the tea flavour is stronger in the milk tea here. The boys were not used to the taste on the first try but love it after a few more sips.
Hua Hin Koti Address : 61/1 Petchkasem Rd., Hua Hin

Chatsila Market
-----------------------------------------------
Actually if you are going to Hua Hin Night market, you can plan Chatsila market on the same day too as it is just on the adjacent street of Hua Hin Night market. We decided to split into 2 different days as the kids were feeling tired yesterday after walking through the Hua Hin Night market and Joelle dozed off in the carrier. So we decided to end our trip earlier and go back to the hotel for them to rest.
Cool choo choo train for us to take a break and eat some snacks if hungry and there is even a street performer singing there.
Lots of resting spots for us to rest our feed from all the shopping and not forgetting great photography spots for us to snap pictures.
Sitting down and taking a picture with the bear before attempting to push it down the bench.
Fishy foot Therapy
Hmmm… looks pretty gross but Jayden loves it.
And we took sometime to convince Javier to give it a try.
I have a soft spot for fruity prints clothes. Saw this fruity tee and of course must get it. ^^
Magnets, lots of it. Bought a few alphabets for teaching Joelle to spell her name.
Took a Tuk Tuk taxi on our way back to the hotel to let the kids have a experience on an open concept taxi. They seems to enjoyed it?
Joelle insisted to play this newly bought toy at the playground at the hotel ground floor before we can go back to our hotel room. With this, we have come to our end to Day 03. Will be an activities packed day on our Day 04~
