Should I bargain at Chiang Mai Night Bazaar?

Worth-it is the other post. I need whether you haggle the pants, not a closing clock.

Food has a number; souvenirs do not

A bottle of water / a bowl with a posted pricePay itPerforming a discount on 20 baht

You want a number on a screenMallTreating the bazaar as a supermarket

Saturday is Wualai. Sunday is the moat. Chang Khlan is daily. I will not write a script. Walk away is the product.

What you are buying, and if you can leave.

Worth-it is Dan’s strip question. This is the haggle. I would not perform 50% on a bowl with a number. Pants, yes. Then walk.

10 nights. One souvenir I actually want. I would not make a second night market a bargaining sport.

Kids: posted food, pay it. I am not running a haggle as bedtime. Mall if I want a price on a screen.

That was my worth-it post. First quote is not the budget page. Walk away once. I still will not write the speech.

A 20-baht water is not a test of character. I have watched people lose the stall over it. Pay the bottle. Haggle the art.

I would not haggle wrecked off a seater. Sleep. Market when I can leave without a suitcase argument.

6 Sep is Bangkok. If I hop later I want that split: food posted, souvenir is a walk. I needed someone to say it.

I walk Asok. I would not fly north to practise a discount. If I went, one stall, then stop.

I prebooked Bangkok. A CM haggle is later. I would not make night one a souvenir hunt.

Sunday walking street is a different road. Same walk-away. Do not paste Bangkok Chatuchak rules onto Chang Khlan.

Wrong map. Patong is not this. I would not paste a beach tout onto a Chiang Mai stall.
