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.

Three Pratunam markets, and which one this is
- Night stalls (this page)
- The clothes stalls on the streets in front of Baiyoke Tower II and along the Ratchaprarop Road sidewalks and alleys, from late afternoon until around midnight.
- Pratunam Market by day
- The covered wholesale garment lanes off Phetchaburi Road, busiest from mid-morning to late afternoon.
- Morning wholesale
- Before dawn until about 09:00, when shop owners buy in bulk.
- Palladium Night Market
- A separate, smaller evening market in front of Palladium World Shopping Mall at the Ratchaprarop and Phetchaburi corner, with similar stock.
Getting there and around
- Airport Rail Link Ratchaprarop is the closest station. Walk about 400–500 m south on Ratchaprarop Road, roughly five or six minutes, and the market is on your right. It's one stop from Phaya Thai, where the line meets the BTS.
- From the BTS, Ratchathewi exit 4 is about a 15-minute walk east along Phetchaburi Road, and Chit Lom is about 1.4 km south.
- Indra Square, Platinum Fashion Mall and Palladium are all a few minutes' walk away, and Go-Ang Pratunam Chicken Rice is about 500 m south for a sit-down meal.

Why go, and how to do it well
Come for the clothes. Pratunam Night Market is the evening market that fills the streets in front of Baiyoke Tower II and spills along the Ratchaprarop Road sidewalks and alleys, rack after rack of cheap fashion with shoes, bags, watches, accessories and souvenir stalls filling the gaps. It isn't the same thing as Pratunam Market, the covered wholesale lanes that trade by day, or Palladium Night Market at the Phetchaburi corner, though the three run into each other and most people end up shopping all of them.
Prices start low, clothes from about ฿100, and many stalls quote less if you buy three or more pieces, so compare a few stalls before you commit and haggle with a smile. Expect brand copies alongside the plain stock. Bring cash in small notes and a bag with room in it.
The food is the weaker half. Snack stalls sell sugar cane juice, dried mango and prawns for very little, but reviewers also report sour mango, roti thinner than paper and som tam that arrives volcanic no matter what you ask for, so order one thing, taste it, then decide. For a proper sit-down meal, Go-Ang Pratunam Chicken Rice is about 500 m south. After dark it gets hot, tight and loud, which some people love and others find exhausting.

Reviews from Google
Pratunam night market is a fun and lively place to explore at night. There are so many clothing stalls with affordable prices, and it’s great for bargain hunting. The area feels busy and energetic, but that’s part of the experience. I enjoyed walking around, shopping (even though the specific store i was looking for was already closed at 8pm, it was a bit sad), but many other shops are still open. Definitely worth visiting if you like night shopping in Bangkok.
It is very busy here so I couldn't get lots of photos but it is a fantastic night market. You can get almost anything here from food to clothes to electronics to Thai souvenirs. This market has it all. I got some great pieces of clothing. I also got some sugar cane juice, dried mango and some prawns for an absolute bargain!
After dinner we decided to stopped by for some shopping and getting some snacks. I'm a bit disappointed, it's seems like a very small night market. Not many choices of food or snacks. I got some manggo, it's sour as hell, no one like it. We got some plain Roti, it's extremely thin. Got some papaya salad, told them medium spiciness but it's spicy as hell, no one be able to eat it. Good thing we only bought one. Tonight, my family went back again, but I didn't. I would prefer to try a different night market tomorrow night, instead.

Tips for Visiting Markets & Shopping
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.
Claim Your VAT Refund
Spend 2,000+ THB at a single store displaying 'VAT Refund for Tourists' signs, get a yellow form at the register, and claim 7% VAT back at the airport. It adds up fast on bigger purchases.
Pratunam Night Market: Frequently Asked Questions
What time does Pratunam Night Market open?
Stalls set up in the late afternoon and the market is busiest after dark. Most clothing stalls pack up between about 10 pm and midnight, with a few food stalls later. Google's 9 am to 11:30 pm listing also covers the daytime wholesale market.
Is Pratunam Night Market worth going to?
Yes, if cheap clothes are on your list and you're staying nearby or passing through on the Airport Rail Link. It's smaller and more clothing-focused than the big night markets, so give it an hour or two rather than a whole evening, and pair it with Platinum Fashion Mall or a Baiyoke Sky sunset.
Is Pratunam Market the same as Pratunam Night Market?
No. Pratunam Market is the covered daytime wholesale garment market off Phetchaburi Road, and there's a separate pre-dawn wholesale market too. The night market is the evening street stalls around Baiyoke Tower II and Ratchaprarop Road. Palladium Night Market, at the Phetchaburi corner, is another separate evening market.
How do I get to Pratunam Night Market by BTS?
The quickest rail route is the Airport Rail Link to Ratchaprarop, one stop from Phaya Thai, then about five minutes' walk south on Ratchaprarop Road. On the BTS, get off at Ratchathewi, take exit 4 and walk about 15 minutes east along Phetchaburi Road.
What should I buy at Pratunam?
Cheap fashion first, clothes from about ฿100, plus shoes, bags, watches, accessories and souvenirs. Many stalls drop the price if you buy three or more pieces, haggling is normal, and brand copies are common. Bring cash in small notes.
Which is better, Chatuchak or Pratunam?
Chatuchak Weekend Market is far bigger and broader, with crafts, plants, homeware and vintage, but it runs only on Saturdays and Sundays. Pratunam is mostly cheap clothing and runs every evening, so it's the one that fits a weeknight.
Is Pratunam cheaper than Platinum Fashion Mall?
It's a trade-off more than a clear winner. Platinum is indoors and air-conditioned and closes at 8 pm; the night stalls are outdoors, open later and expect you to haggle.
When is the best time to visit Pratunam Night Market?
The best months to visit Bangkok are November – February, with the most reliable weather. Crowds peak in December & January — going early in the day usually means fewer people. Months to think twice about: April – May (peak heat).
