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
Tucked into the laid-back Srithanu area on Koh Phangan's western coast, Moon Bazaar is a casual open-air shopping destination that draws both residents and visitors looking for a more relaxed alternative to the island's busier tourist markets. The bazaar has earned a solid reputation among those who appreciate a community-oriented atmosphere, with a mix of stalls offering clothing, handmade goods, and local products that reflect the bohemian character of the surrounding neighborhood.
Visitors can expect a unhurried browsing experience with a selection of vendors spread across an accessible, informal layout. The Srithanu area itself has a strong wellness and yoga community feel, and Moon Bazaar fits naturally into that vibe — making it a good stop for travelers staying on the western side of the island who want to explore local shopping beyond the main tourist strips near Haad Rin or Thong Sala.
