Silom: Shopping

Be it during the day or past midnight, Silom has something to satisfy all breeds of shopper. Start with the shopping malls in the area, including Silom Complex, Central, and Robinson. Also don't miss Silom's sub-sois, notably Soi 'Lalaisup', where local food, clothing and accessories can be had at reasonable prices.

Fancy shopping under the Bangkok's night sky? Then head to the Suan Lum Night Bazaar or alternatively, the famous Patpong Night Market. Here -  inbetween peeks at the sex trade which still survives here - souvenirs, Thai crafts, CD's, DVD's, counterfeit watches and bags, funny and rude T-shirts, boxing shorts and a whole lot of other things can be bargained for. This and the vendors who turn up along Silom and Saledaeng Roads each night, are undoubtedly the most popular shopping option, especially for tourists.

And, if you're looking for cheap ornaments or wholesale jewellery, the shops bordering Charoenkrung Road will be just the place for you. Other shopping highlights in Silom include Silom Village, especially for arts and crafts, and the upmarket Baan Silom Complex with a wide collection of little boutique-style shops. Many credible tailors can also be found at the end of Silom Road in the vicinity of State Tower.

Suan Lum Night Bazaar 

A mixture of poshly dressed, fresh-from-the-office Thai's and expats along with fisherman pant-clad tourists, Suan Lum could best be described as the VIP outdoor market of Bangkok (where you're always welcome, of course). Covered walkways with centrally-located snack bars provide perhaps the most luxurious (outdoor) market shopping experience in the city. (READ MORE)

Bangkok's Counterfeit Culture 

Everyday all over Bangkok, thousands of shoppers descend upon the city's upmarket malls looking for a retail fix of their favourite luxury and lifestyle brands. Even more, however, hit the city's streets looking to buy cheaper, but illegal, versions of the very same items. And not just knock-off clothes, watches, luggage, jewellery or sunglasses but also DVDs, CDs and computer software - even fraudulent documents. (READ MORE)
