The Markets in Bangkok You Don't Want to Miss – Bargains Galore in the Thai Capital!

You can discover many malls in the Thai capital. However, if you really want to find great bargains in Bangkok, markets are the places you need to visit. If you are not sure where to begin, here’s a sneak peek into four such markets well worth adding to your itinerary.

Chatuchak Weekend Market

If you think you have been to big markets before, Chatuchak will blow your mind. It’s one of the world’s largest, with over 15,000 stalls spread across 26 sections. From trendy fashion and vintage decor to books, antiques, and even pets, you name it, it’s here. Wander, explore, and get lost (in a good way). Oh, and haggling is part of the ‘game’, so put on your friendliest bargaining face!

Khaosan Road Night Market

The Khaosan Road Night Market comes alive as the sun sets, offering everything from boho-chic outfits and vintage accessories to quirky souvenirs and handmade jewellery. Bargaining is expected, and when you are done shopping, grab some street food, sip a cocktail, and enjoy the locale’s legendary nightlife. Pro tip: Stay at a nearby property like Tinidee Trendy Bangkok Khaosan so you can shop, drop your finds at your hotel, and head back out for more fun!

Banglamphu Market

Banglamphu Market is where locals hunt for bargains and is easy to reach from Khaosan Road hotels. This market is a hidden gem offering budget-friendly clothes, sneakers, second-hand books, and more. It’s less touristy, which means prices can be lower, but you will still need to bargain. And, when hunger strikes, there are plenty of local restaurants around for a cheap and tasty meal.

Jodd Fairs Night Market

If you are after an Instagram-worthy night market experience, Jodd Fairs is the place to be. Located in the Rama 9 neighbourhood, it has over 700 stalls selling trendy fashion, accessories, and even gadgets. The food scene is amazing offering street food and international bites, while there are bars for a laidback drink or two. On certain nights you can enjoy live music as well that sets the perfect vibe under the stars.
