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
Timing is everything here. It opens at 10am and runs to midnight, but people who turn up at 9:30 in the evening have found it half asleep, and weekday afternoons can be emptier still. This is a newer open-air food market and it hasn't filled out yet, so expect vacant units alongside the working stalls. Come closer to 10pm and you get the version worth coming for, decorated throughout, proper seating areas, some entertainment, Thai food at Thai prices rather than beach road prices.
The fish tank foot spa is the odd standout, 100 baht for an hour and the tanks kept clean, filters running. Entrance is free and there are toilets on site. At least one Thai reviewer felt local customers were served slower than the Chinese and Korean tables, and that ended in a bad exchange with staff. Service seems inconsistent rather than uniformly poor, but it's worth knowing.

Reviews from Google
I went to try the fish in the tanks foot spar I highly recommend this place . I noticed the fish tanks are all spotless the filters all working the glass like new . One hour foot soak only 100 Baht . Very relaxing and well worth a try . I went about 5.30 pm . Have many fish tanks . Check my photos out .
Was there on weekdays not many people and shop. Just newly opened street market. Not many shops around 20%, seem still empty market
This is the worst place in Pattaya. We come and sit every day and ask you to pay for something. We always pay. We complain a little bit when we call to order something or if you're Thai, it's like they don't want to do it. When Chinese or Koreans come running to receive it, they ran it so fast And today was really bad. They told me I wasn't satisfied and didn't have to come and sit there anymore. Go somewhere else. Okay, that's right. The staff set up the place first and it was really good. When the new staff came, it wasn't great. But most importantly, the staff was really bad!!!!!
