Daiso Maya Lifestyle Shopping Center
Daiso's branch inside Maya Lifestyle Shopping Center brings the beloved Japanese 100-yen store concept to Chiang Mai, with the vast majority of items priced at a flat 60 baht (roughly USD 1.80). Spread across the third floor directly opposite the escalators from the main entrance, the store stocks an impressively wide range of products spanning home goods, food snacks, general household items, and more — making it a practical stop for travellers planning an extended stay who need to stock up on affordable everyday essentials.
Shoppers can expect a well-organised, no-frills retail environment with a broad and sometimes surprising product selection. Visitors have highlighted the bicycle parts section as a standout area, and the store's range of food snacks and random household finds tends to draw repeat browsers. As with most variety stores in this format, quality can be inconsistent across categories — reviewers specifically caution against purchasing swim goggles here, noting they are poor quality.
One important practical note: the store has a strict no-refund policy, even on very recent purchases, so it is worth inspecting items carefully before buying. Daiso Maya is open daily, with slightly later opening hours on weekdays (11:00) compared to weekends (10:00), and closes at 21:00 every day. It is a convenient addition to a broader visit to Maya Shopping Center rather than a destination in its own right.

Reviews from Google
This is located in the 3rd floor of a shopping mall. It is one of the places you wanna check out if you plan to stay for a while. You should be able to find something useful for very cheap here.
Great shop. You can find alot of things here. Home are food snacks and other random things. All 60 baht
Went back with the receipt just 5 minutes after purchase, but they said refunds aren’t possible at all. Bit ironic and disappointing. Just be aware before buying.

Tips for Visiting Markets & Shopping
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.
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.
Be Cautious with Tailors
Bangkok has excellent tailors, but also many tourist traps. Avoid anyone offering suspiciously cheap suits or who approaches you on the street. Ask your hotel for recommendations, read reviews, and always get two fittings.
