Markets and Haggling in Thailand: A Baht Guide
From Chatuchak in Bangkok to the walking streets of Chiang Mai, Thai markets are half the fun of the trip, and they are cash-only territory. Buy Thai baht ahead of travel with a commission-free provider such as Travel FX and you can haggle with confidence.
Haggling etiquette
Bargaining is expected at markets but it stays light-hearted. Smile, counter politely, and remember the difference you are arguing over is often pennies. Fixed-price shops and food stalls are not for haggling.
Carry small notes
Stallholders struggle to change 1,000 baht notes early in the day. Break big notes at 7-Elevens and keep 20s, 50s and 100s for market rounds.
Arrive prepared
Travel FX has supplied currency online for 18+ years and holds a 5-star Trustpilot rating from around 32,800 reviews.
