About this experience

Ever wondered how, where and what locals eat at night? This tour is about the evening local food fix; where Thais go for freshly cooked takeaway meals or to eat out.
This tour is also about getting 'under the skin' of the food scene in Hua Hin and exploring where locals go to eat in the evening.
It's about seeing the freshest local produce in a local market full of tasty delights. In the market, we will be eating and tasting standing up. This way we can move around and sample what the vendors have to offer.
