This was my 7th trip to Hua Hin, and on prior trips, I always went here to get the usual souvenirs. It was always free to get in, but on my last visit, the policy had changed to charging an entrance fee for admission. Too bad as this used to be a great place to get the best prices vs. the various night markets in town. If you do go, try to use one of the alternative entrances--ie, near the toilets, where it will be free admission. Otherwise, stay away until the policy changes. Vote with your wallets!!!
