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
Come here to eat and hang about, not to shop hard. It's a food-and-souvenir complex next to Central Samui in Chaweng, with seating areas, a bar and live local music most evenings, which makes it the sort of place you settle into for a couple of hours rather than walk through in ten minutes. Couples, families, groups of friends all find it works for them.
The pad thai gets named again and again in reviews, and that's where I'd start. Pricing is all over the place, though. Some stalls charge fair local rates, others want around 200 baht for something you'd pay half that for in a restaurant down the road, so walk the whole row before you order. Same goes for the clothing and souvenir stalls. At least one shopper found holes in a shirt within days and got nowhere asking for a swap, so inspect anything you buy properly and assume there's no returning it.
