Want small souvenirs without fighting evening crowds. Sensible to shop mid-morning now, or wait until tomorrow. Not craft-market stroll for restless kids, and not wooden-mask specific hunt.

Mid-morning is calmer for browsing and price chats. Pick a short list, avoid the densest temple-front stalls if coaches are unloading, and keep receipts in one pouch.
