The Best Clothes Markets to Shop at in Bangkok

Chatuchak Weekend Market

This sprawling market is a shopaholic's paradise. With over 8,000 stalls, you'll find everything from vintage clothing and designer knock-offs to unique, handmade pieces. Don't forget to haggle – it's part of the fun and a great way to secure even better deals. Open on weekends, Chatuchak Market is a must-visit for budget-conscious shoppers. 

P.S. Recommended from locals, the best time to visit there is in the evening as that's when the Street Close shops will set up their stalls. The prices are more than half the price of the shops in the alley!

Pratunam Market

Located in the heart of Bangkok's fashion district, Pratunam Market is famous for its wholesale clothing. Whether you're in search of stylish dresses, accessories, or the latest trends, this market has it all. Prices are typically lower when you buy in bulk, so consider shopping with friends to take advantage of wholesale discounts. 

P.S. Pratunam Market also sells in the form of a night market. This section of the market is popular with local shoppers because prices are cheaper, with some shops starting at just 10 baht ($0.28 USD). So if you love shopping for unique outfits you can wear every day, without over your budget for shopping. Here is another place that meets your needs. However, this market will start selling at 05.00-09.00 (Quite early in the morning, right? But if you want to shop at the cheapest price, give it a try.)

• Opening hours: Every day 08.00 - 15.00 
• How to get there : Chit Lom BTS Station (Sukhumvit Line) - Take Exit 3 and walk straight for approximately 250 meters until you reach Ratchaprasong Intersection. Cross the pedestrian bridge to the opposite side and continue walking for about 450 meters until you reach Petchaburi Road.

Remember to wear comfortable clothing and shoes as you explore these markets, as you're likely to spend hours browsing the stalls and finding hidden treasures. Additionally, be prepared to negotiate prices, as bargaining is a common practice in many of these markets. With some patience and a keen eye, you can leave Bangkok with a suitcase full of stylish clothes without emptying your wallet. Happy shopping trips!
