Bangkok Markets

Where to Buy in Bangkok

Markets around Bangkok offer fascinating shopping experiences. Compared to air-conditioned malls, though, they are hot and sticky mazes with alleys after alleys of shops selling everything from one-off fashion accessories to knock-off kitsches to counterfeited electronic goods to farm-fresh flowers and agricultural produce.

As well as excellent bargains, the markets also offer a slice of local life and a great opportunity to sample the kind of food you won't find in most restaurants. Of all the markets in Bangkok, Chatuchak Weekend Market is a must visit, while others, such as those in Patpong, Khlong Thom and Saphan Phut offer exciting night-time shopping experiences. For something you won't find anywhere else, try one of the floating markets, which combine shopping and sightseeing into one.

Chatuchak Weekend Market

Bangkok Flower Market

Pak Klong Talad is the biggest wholesale and retail fresh flower market in Bangkok.

Food Markets

Markets offer an array of items at very low prices, and quite often contain the friendliest variety of Thai people. A few markets listed are a bit of a hike to the outer edge of Bangkok, although this is where the friendliest deals on a large variety of items are usually made. Local markets listed include Klong Toey, Ying Charoen (Saphan Mai), Minburi, Major Ratchoyothin, Or Tor Kor, and Khlong San. Read More...

Night Markets in Bangkok

The great thing about shopping in Bangkok is that most malls and department stores stay open until at least 21:00 - and some even as late as 22:00. So there's plenty of time to make the most of the city's attractions during the day, and fit in a bit of retail therapy either before or after dinner. Many markets offer great after dark shopping opportunities and incredible bargains. Read More...

Or Tor Kor Market

Or Tor Kor is a super clean fresh market, similar to an open-air supermarket, only a little cheaper. The market's highlights include imported fruits, along with prized domestic fruits, vegetables, Thai snacks and ready-to-eat meals at the attached food court. Read More...

After cleaning up its act, Patpong's become one of the 'must' night shopping destinations for avid shoppers. The place is always busy and chaotic with all the commotion from the GO-GO bars nearby and lots of foreign tourists. Read More...

Rot Fai Market

Vintage is in. At Rod Fai Market, an open-air bazaar set beside an abandoned railroad track, the vintage look never goes out of style. Spread on the ground is all kinds of collectibles and memorabilia from the yesteryear, from antique furniture to hippy fashion to Mao kitsch. The overall feel is down-to-earth cool. Read More...

Wholesale Markets

Retailers across Bangkok, Asia and beyond flock to the wholesale markets for unbeatable deals - usually the lowest prices in the city. Clothing, textiles, jewellery and herbs are popular wholesale items, although unique knick-knack's and various produce can also be found. Read More...
