Visitor Reviews
I came across this market and stopped by to have something to eat. There are many different food stalls, and the atmosphere is very relaxed. Although there are shops, I didn't buy anything. I recommend it for the experience.
Chilling market, less crowded and touristy. So many affordable places to eat by the river, much cheaper than other markets and has more shaded walking areas.
Beautiful fabrics and an interesting market filled with Indian delicacies, all with a truly unique atmosphere. A fascinating place to explore 🇮🇳🙏🏻

Haggle at Markets, Not Malls
Prices at market stalls are negotiable — start at 50–60% of the asking price and meet in the middle. Fixed-price shops and malls don't haggle. Smile and keep it friendly; aggressive bargaining is considered rude.
Arrive Early or Late
Vendors believe the first sale of the day is lucky — you'll often get a better deal if you arrive right when the market opens. Late in the evening, sellers may also discount to avoid packing unsold goods.
Be Cautious with Tailors
Bangkok has excellent tailors, but also many tourist traps. Avoid anyone offering suspiciously cheap suits or who approaches you on the street. Ask your hotel for recommendations, read reviews, and always get two fittings.
