Light haggling is expected at market stalls but proper shops have fixed prices. A 10-20 percent discount is realistic on multi-item buys at stalls. Be polite the vendor will tell you yes or no quickly.

Cash and Thai QR PromptPay are universal. Foreign credit cards work at larger shops but not market stalls. Carry 500-2000 baht in cash for any browsing trip.
What hours is Pa Thon Coconut Sweet Shop open?
Operating hours are 08:00-19:00. Markets typically pick up energy from late afternoon. Some smaller stalls take an early-afternoon break call to confirm if visiting at a specific time.
