Why should you go there and how do you do it right?

Buy water and snacks here, not at the stalls outside. This Big C is located on the ground floor of the Pantip complex on Changklan Road and is a sensible alternative to the night bazaar's prices. Here you'll find groceries, toiletries, bottled water, Thai snacks, and household items you might have forgotten to pack—all at normal supermarket prices. If you're staying near the night bazaar, you'll naturally use this store.

Behind the shop shelves stretches the complex with stalls selling clothing, electronics, and food, as well as a food court if you'd like to eat for a few baht instead of sitting in one of the tourist restaurants along Chang Khlan. Don't expect a leisurely browsing experience here. It's bustling, functional, and full of locals doing their shopping—which is precisely why the prices are so high. It's quieter on weekday mornings. Evenings and weekends are very crowded.
