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
The Hmong market is a row of roadside stalls on Route 1009 near the Doi Inthanon park headquarters, around km 31, run by families from the Hmong villages on the mountain. Expect fruit, cocktail tomatoes, fried bananas and fruit liqueurs, plus snacks for the drive.
The first stalls you reach are the most touristy, so walk on to the second cluster. I'd use it as the lunch or snack stop in the middle of the day, because it's one of the few places to eat near the park campsite.
