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 KohKood Night Market is a popular evening gathering spot on the relatively quiet island of Koh Kood, offering visitors a chance to browse local goods and soak up a relaxed island atmosphere after dark. Located in Ko Kut, the market draws both travelers and locals looking for an authentic, unhurried experience away from the more commercialized destinations in the Gulf of Thailand.
Visitors can expect a casual open-air setting with stalls selling a mix of street food, snacks, and locally made products typical of Thai island markets. The atmosphere is laid-back and community-oriented, reflecting the slower pace that Koh Kood is known for. It serves as a natural evening meeting point for those staying on the island, making it as much a social experience as a shopping one.
The market operates six evenings a week, closing only on Tuesdays, with hours running from 6pm to 10pm each night. Arriving earlier in the evening tends to allow more time to browse before stalls wind down. As the market is outdoors, lightweight, breathable clothing is recommended, and bringing cash is advisable given the limited banking infrastructure on the island. It is a short trip from most accommodation along the western and southern coasts of Koh Kood.
