Chatuchak Weekend Market
BTS Mo Chit
First, print out an online map from http://www.guidetothailand.com/thailand-activities/shopping-chatuchak.php… and arrange to meet your friends at the clock tower if you guys get separated in the hot, sauna-like maze of shops. Go in the morning to beat the heat and the crowds… lots of T-shirts, sundresses, bikinis, slippers, accessories… and unique stuff you will never find again! Must try the coconut ice-cream! It comes with peanuts and free coconut juice ^^
Siam Square
Lots of local designers’ shops, but relatively more expensive. There are supposed to be quite a number of photo studios where you can take makeover photos as well… I’m excited to check that out the next time I’m there! ^^
Suam Lum Night Market
Switch at BTS Sala Daeng to MRT Lumpini
Full of shops selling clothes and accessories… more expensive than CTC market, but less squeezy and hot.
Sampheng Market in Chinatown
Lots of shops selling wholesale accessories, stationary, party stuff, fabric, toys etc .. should go with friends so you can buy enough to get the wholesale rate.
Pratunam Market, Indra Square
Lots of shops selling clothes, hats, belts and random stuff…
Cheap chocolate fondue from Swensen in Indra Square^^Memorial Bridge Night Market
It’s also pronounced “Sa-parn-put” market, has lots of cheap clothes but the locals only speak Thai… closed on Wed.
Khao San area
This is the classic backpackers’ scene with cheap T-shirts, people braiding hair, banana pancakes etc.
Baiyoke Sky Tower area
There’s an early morning market (until around 20am) which sells lots of clothes and a night market which sells super yummy food and clothes. If you are staying in either Baiyoke Sky Hotel or Baiyoke Boutique Hotel, you also get to go for the buffet dinner at Baiyoke Sky at only 450B… and enjoy the night view of Bangkok.
