Haggle at Markets, Not Malls
Prices at market stalls are negotiable — start at 50–60% of the asking price and meet in the middle. Fixed-price shops and malls don't haggle. Smile and keep it friendly; aggressive bargaining is considered rude.

Why go, and how to do it well
Bargaining isn't optional at this Phetchaburi Road market, it's the whole point. Shoppers report clothes opened at 450 baht going for 230, and a medium suitcase dropping from 900 to 600. If you're not comfortable countering, you'll pay tourist money for tourist goods. Bags, dresses, slippers and accessories are what the vendors do best, and there's enough of it that two evenings wouldn't be overkill if you're serious about buying.
The layout takes some working out. The front section feels scattered, and plenty of people miss the much bigger market further in. The trick is to find the little shrine with the statues, then keep going down the left side for about a block. That's where the bulk of the stalls and most of the food sit. Speaking of which, food is present but limited, so don't plan your dinner around it.

Reviews from Google
Palladium Night Market is a cheap and very busy place to visit in Thailand. There are many affordable food stalls, clothes, and small shops to explore. The atmosphere is lively, especially at night, and it’s always full of energy. The people are very welcoming and friendly, which makes the experience even better. It’s a great spot to walk around, eat local food, and enjoy the local vibe. Highly recommended for travelers looking for a fun and budget-friendly night market experience.
Must bargain price. If he set a high price, you can bargain down to almost half. For example, 1 set of clothes he opened the price at 450b, i can buy for 230b. Medium suitcases from 900b i got 600b. Limited food.
Kinda all over the place but if you walk further down there is another market that much much larger. Only open until about 11pm. Best way to describe is if you find their little shrine setup with all the statues continue walking down the left side about one block! Food and stalls etc.

Tips for Visiting Markets & Shopping
Arrive Early or Late
Vendors believe the first sale of the day is lucky — you'll often get a better deal if you arrive right when the market opens. Late in the evening, sellers may also discount to avoid packing unsold goods.
Claim Your VAT Refund
Spend 2,000+ THB at a single store displaying 'VAT Refund for Tourists' signs, get a yellow form at the register, and claim 7% VAT back at the airport. It adds up fast on bigger purchases.
