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 reason to come, and the layout almost forces you to work for it. Vendors form corridors that loop back on themselves, so the smart move is to walk a full lap first, see everything, then double back and buy. Grilled meats, noodles, laab, desserts, and a hoy tod stall toward the back left that regulars single out. In the covered section there's a properly local oddity, century eggs wrapped in fish paste and deep fried. It sounds wrong and it works.
Beyond food there are clothes, accessories and general odds and ends, plus a children's play area with a bouncy castle and trampolines at 30 baht for 20 minutes, and a table where kids paint plaster figurines. That table is also about the only place to sit. If crowds and noise wear you down, this will wear you down fast, it's tight, loud and there's nowhere to rest.

Great night market. Very convenient if you are staying in the River Kwai road area. On rainy nights the vendors may pack up early so plan accordingly. Pro tips: there is a Hoy Tod seller towards the back left corner that makes delicious food as well as a Laarb seller in the middle left. The sellers form a corridor that causes you to go around like a maze, I recommend that you do an entire lap and look at everything and then double back and make your purchases. Then if there is anything else you need you can hit seben right across the street. I go to this JJ market every time I visit Kanchanaburi now!
Such a good night market, there's almost anything for everyone. Too bad today is raining. You can get lots of great food, for almost every palate and every taste. Also the non food item stalls are a plenty... Will try come back if there is no rain. Really enjoyed my short time visiting.
Nice market. There is nowhere to sit, and no bin, everyone piles trash up on the sidewalk. Personally I find it overstimulating because it’s very busy and impossible to rest. The children’s play area is great tho, 30 baht for 20 mins on the bouncy castle and trampolines and you can buy and paint plaster figurines. Also if you get some food and drinks before you take your kids there, you can sit down and eat at the kids painting table. Theres even a small garbage bin there! My daughter left her sandals there and we came back the next day and they were still there. The massages are outside of the market stalls, to the far left, if your facing into the market from the street. 30 mins for 100 baht and it was incredible. Also there are toilet there, you have to pay 3 baht in small coins into a turnstile, but the toilets are very clean, there a woman in there with a sewing machine who will mind your stuff

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.
