The market serves as a lively place where you can discover cheap appealing things such as sunglasses, wallets, belts, kitsch items, and Thai-style souvenirs.
Just a tip for you when you come to the market. Don’t forget to try haggling over the prices of whatever you buy here. Many vendors will tell you high prices at first and will yield to lower them as you bargain. However, we believe not all vendors will be open to reducing the price.
