Here is a whole new shopping experience for Hua Hin if not for Thailand. This flea market cum promenade that meanders over a plot of 10 rai (4 acres) is dived into four zones, Art a la mode, Art Indoor, Art if Act and Art of Eating. Shoppers get to stroll leisurely through exotic gardens and art exhibits while examining and then bargaining for all sorts goods, including arts and crafts, home decorations, hand-made clothing and accessories, both new and old along with tasty foods. Not to be missed either is the amphitheater offering a myriad of performances. As night descends, all are treating to the chirping songs of the cicadas. (Suan Sri, corner of Soi Moo Ban Nong Kae and Khao Takieb-Hua Hin Road. Open Saturdays, 3.00 – 9.00 p.m.)
