In comparison to other Thai attractions of the same genre, Hua Hin Night Market doesn’t have any distinctive features except for its peculiar geometrical design: it’s stretched out into one long street and divided in the middle by a crossroad: it’s convenient, you won’t be lost there.

For those who have never visited it, there’s a set of photos of food you can find hanging out there: various incredible shish kebabs at 20 Baht for two skewers, animals’ body parts in strange forms, soups, pad thai, juices, coconuts, peeled fruits, grill of different levels of quality (they infernally overdry it like everywhere in Thai), some not quite understandable stuff, sugar-free delicious sweets, and even hand-painted marzipans at 30 Baht for a box.

Oh well, sounds like some very trivial stuff! Ha! Easily found in any market.

Sure, yet there’s a nuance.

If at the crossroad you look at google maps, and move literally 20 meters towards ATMs, you’ll see this.

And there they’re selling this, and it’s the shit.

They say it’s pork in tamarind sauce, 20 Baht for a stick. Ok, maybe.

I’m not sure what kind of pork it is. Apparently, the trained one like those vegetables in Murakami’s novel, or maybe it’s the sauce, or the old lady, or the coals might be magical. Or all this together.

But the result remains as it is: we have returned there four (sic!) times, grumbling:

“Actually, I don’t eat pork…”

And in embarrassment we would buy one or two skewers each time.

Please, look at this once more.

Do enjoy.
