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
Mama Market Srithanu is a nightly evening market situated in the laid-back Srithanu area of Koh Phangan, drawing both residents and travelers looking for an authentic local experience away from the island's more tourist-heavy spots. Open seven days a week, it has become a reliable fixture in the community rather than a weekend-only affair.
Visitors can expect a casual, unhurried atmosphere typical of the Srithanu neighborhood, which is known for its wellness-oriented, bohemian character. The market offers a mix of street food stalls, fresh produce, and small vendor goods, making it a practical stop for those staying in the area as well as a pleasant evening outing for visitors exploring beyond Thong Sala or Haad Rin. The relaxed setting reflects the broader vibe of this part of the island, where the pace is noticeably slower.
