Bangkok Markets

Here is where you'll find the cheap thrills and show off your bargaining skills. For me, personally, 20 Bahts - 50 Bahts means a lot to them rather than to us in Singapore, they may be able to fill their stomach with 2 meals for the money you've bargained so give it to them!

Silom Night Market Most people goes there for Tiger/pussy show and anything sleazy you may get from vibrators - porn. A good selection of GLBT movies! Fake branded goods are overprice but the experience is priceless.

By Bts to Saladaeng station
Time: 7pm - 2am, daily


Siam Square Night Market There is a strict regulation now impose to the hawkers, however, once there's a market going on, you can be sure to find great buys and rubbing through the crowds.

By Bts to Siam station. On the stretch of Siam Square
Time: 9pm - Midnight, daily


Saphan Phut (Memorial Bridge) Night Market Second hand clothing and fabulous handicrafts/accesories. I love it especially it's under the bridge. Very local and authetic. You might need to speak a little Thai to get the best price!

By Ferry to Saphan Phut (Memorial Bridge) or best still take a taxi as I'm not going to tell you how to make a change or where to alight by bus.
Time: 7pm to midnight, Closed on Monday


Khao San Day and Night Market Get your Bob Marley (dreadlock) hair-do done on the street with fake student pass made here. Fashion apparels are slightly overprice but very edgy ad bagpackers style!

By Ferry to Phra Arhit or best still take a taxi as I'm not going to tell you how to make a change or where to alight by bus.


Suan Lum Night Market It's not as popular as before maybe it's because they are going to move soon but you can be sure to get the local handicrafts back home for souvenirs!

By Metro Lumbini

Ratchada Night Market This night market brings you back to the past, with all the vintage toys, clothings, clocks and many more. It's a good place to dig and If you're lucky you might find some rare and precious treasures.

Siam Square Night Market Despite the government's effort of clearing up the narrow walkway beside Siam BTS, this market is persistence to exist, with the strong desire of the teenagers trying to make a living, you can find stylish & fashionable apparels for ladies and men.
