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
Three days a week is all you get here, so this one takes a bit of planning. It's a small open-air artisan market out in Tambon Ton Pao, San Kamphaeng, east of the city, tied to the Sanggadee brand and built around independent makers rather than volume. Handmade goods, natural products, crafts. The sort of place where you talk to the person who made the thing.
If you want night market energy and rows of identical elephant pants, this isn't it and you'll be bored in ten minutes. What it's good for is a slow morning wander with a coffee, picking up something that isn't mass-produced. I'd pair it with the rest of San Kamphaeng, since you're already out that way, and treat the market as one stop rather than the whole trip.
