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
Food is the whole reason to go. Racks of ribs, curries, fried things, noodles, desserts, piles of fruit and veg, all at the sort of prices that make you order a second thing you didn't need. Eat as you walk. That's how it works here, and it works well.
Beyond the food there are clothes, souvenirs and everyday household bits, the kind of stalls that exist because Cha-am locals actually shop at them rather than because tourists wander past. It gets packed as the evening goes on. A lot of the same vendors turn up at the Pae Mai Tuesday Market, which has live music and proper seating. If you can only make one, and you want somewhere to sit with a beer, the Tuesday market has the edge. This one is stalls and food, straight up.
I'd get there early rather than late. More stalls still stocked, a bit more room to move, and you can take your time instead of shuffling along in a crowd.

Reviews from Google
It is one of our favorite spots to visit. There's a wide selection of everything – from freshly cooked local food and snacks to fruits, vegetables, clothes, and more. The atmosphere is lively, and the prices are great, making it a perfect place to try local street food or pick up some fresh produce. We love coming here – it’s a real taste of local life and always worth a visit if you're in the area.
If you're in Cha Am, you absolutely have to visit this market. Wonderful. You'll have to come hungry.
Wednesday only market. Many vendors are the same as the "Pae Mai Tuesday Market" I personally preferred the Tuesday Market because it has live music and a seating area, Lotus market and 7/11 which is convenient to pick up extra snacks/drinks. I would only go here if I wasn't able to go to the Tuesday Market.

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.
