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
This night market on Koh Chang draws both locals and travelers looking for an authentic taste of Thai street culture after dark. Set along Thanon Rural in the heart of the island, it operates every night of the week from 5:30pm to 11pm, making it a reliable evening destination regardless of which day visitors arrive on the island.
The market offers a relaxed, open-air atmosphere where vendors set up stalls selling a range of Thai street food, snacks, and local goods. Visitors can expect the sights and smells typical of a traditional Thai night market — grilled meats, fresh noodle dishes, tropical fruits, and affordable bites that reflect the local food culture of the Trat region. The combination of food stalls and market shopping gives it a neighborhood feel rather than a purely tourist-oriented setup.
