The meeting followed an earlier consultation between the Hua Hin Municipality and local entrepreneurs from Chatchai Market.

This initiative aims to attract more residents and tourists to the market.
It was reported that the Hua Hin Municipality Council had previously approved the renovation of Chatchai Market 1 as part of the fiscal year 2024 budget. The council authorized the use of funds from the annual savings for this project. During the latest meeting, officials examined the construction plans and reviewed the project’s scope, with the committee providing updates on the next steps. Local officials and stakeholders expressed their commitment to ensuring the project’s timely completion to boost tourism and local business.
