Shopping

For those looking for the comforts of home while vacationing in an otherwise sleepy resort town, look no further than the Hua Hin Market Village. This lifestyle complex is Hua Hin’s equivalent to JAvenue in Bangkok where all of life’s con-veniences can be had in one single spot. A creatively minia turized shopping center, the Market Village brings together some of Bangkok’s best services such as Tesco Lotus, Major Cineplex and Major Bowl, HomePro as well as a variety of restaurants and cafes like Starbucks and Siam Winery’s wine cellar to satisfy the urban palate. There are also bookstores and electronics shops that bring modern conveniences to this seaside city.
