This is a wholesalemarket where the thais come and buy clothes and shoes for their shops. Most items costs 100 baht if you buy 3 pieces. A lot of the clothes is very fashionable. Most of it is a onesize. So if you are a size small or less, this is absolute paradise!

A visit to this market provides a memorable experience, as you can see how business is done outside of the shopping malls used by Westerners. Many clothing stalls, with barely no empty floor space, with the shopkeeper sorting clothing in her bare feet on floor. Cheap prices can be found here.

Cheap clothes, cheap shoes, cheap accessories, and still fashionable! Difficult to try the clothes on unless you are wearing tight clothes or skirts to try on trousers. The place is not as fabulous as the malls but it's way cheaper!

The shopping in this area is good you can buy just about anything. To make things even better there are fabulous massage places just across the road. Our favourite was called Perfect Massage where we regularly had a traditional thai massage for just 169 Baht but it is always nice to give the massuers a tip aswell as this forms... More

Pratunam is the centre of the universe if you are looking to shop in Bangkok. Located in Ratchathewi and within walking distance of the Ratchathewi BTS station, this market is a rabbit warren of bargains. Narrow little alleyways give way to the bustling crowds of tourists and local vendors selling everything from apples to zippers. The atmosphere is electric and... More

You can get many items here for a good bargain - clothes, belts, assesories, etc but try to bring a calculator along to haggle as most may not be able to converse in English

Pratunam is a place with huge malls and a shopping haven for travellers as well as the locals. You will find all of the items for a cheaper price but dont forget to haggle for the lower price. Always haggle for 10 - 30% and dont forget to smile and friendly when doing this...This area is a inter connecting of... More

There are many stalls selling clothings. I have bought some necklaces for 15B per piece. Shirt cost around 90B to 150B. Some of the stores are cheaper, while others are more expensive. You can try Bobae tower there to buy wholesale and cheaper clothings. The road is always crowded with people and the walking pavement is very small.
