Frequently asked questions

Can I haggle on price?

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.

What hours is Royal Garden Plaza open?

Operating hours are 11:00-23:00 daily. 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.

Are foreign cards accepted?

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.
