Onzon market

4.3(24 reviews)

Onzon Market is a shopping centre located in the Mak Khaeng subdistrict of Udon Thani, serving as a practical retail destination for locals and visitors alike. Situated in a residential area of the city, it offers a grounded, everyday shopping experience that reflects the commercial life of the wider Udon Thani community rather than the tourist-facing markets found closer to the city centre. Visitors can expect a functional shopping environment with a local atmosphere, catering primarily to the needs of the surrounding neighbourhood. As a shopping centre, it is likely to include a mix of retail stalls or units covering everyday goods, making it a useful stop for those staying in or passing through the Mak Khaeng area who need to pick up essentials or explore local commerce away from the more frequented parts of the city. Given the limited availability of opening hours and pricing information online, travellers planning a visit are advised to check locally upon arrival or ask their accommodation for current trading hours before making the trip. Those exploring Udon Thani beyond its central attractions may find Onzon Market a useful and authentic glimpse into the daily rhythms of the city. It is best suited to travellers with a specific errand in the area rather than those seeking a dedicated shopping or cultural excursion.

Tips for Visiting Markets & Shopping

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.

Arrive Early or Late

Vendors believe the first sale of the day is lucky — you'll often get a better deal if you arrive right when the market opens. Late in the evening, sellers may also discount to avoid packing unsold goods.

Be Cautious with Tailors

Bangkok has excellent tailors, but also many tourist traps. Avoid anyone offering suspiciously cheap suits or who approaches you on the street. Ask your hotel for recommendations, read reviews, and always get two fittings.
