In addition to shopping malls, and large modern stores
like Macro (similar to COSTCO), Hua Hin still has authentic open markets where
you can buy anything from meat, fish, vegetables, flowers and clothes as well
as prepared foods. Pictures can provide the images - only part of the experience - the smells and sounds are missing!
Market vendors quickly become aware that foreigners
(farang) have NO idea of the cost of anything! As a result, the vendors who
operate in areas the tourists frequent charge higher prices. We tend to
avoid these areas, and have found vendors nearby who happily offer us “Thai” prices for
fruits and vegetables.
