Best Markets & Shopping in Bangkok
31 places found in Bangkok
Bangkok is a shopper's paradise at every price point. Chatuchak Weekend Market is the crown jewel — over 15,000 stalls spread across 35 acres, selling everything from vintage clothing and handmade ceramics to rare plants and street food. Plan to spend a full morning here. JJ Green night market (nearby) extends the experience after Chatuchak closes.
For air-conditioned shopping, the Siam area has Southeast Asia's most impressive mall concentration: Siam Paragon, CentralWorld, and ICONSIAM (on the river) are all connected by BTS and offer both luxury brands and excellent food courts. For a more local experience, Pratunam Market is Bangkok's wholesale fashion hub — clothes at factory-outlet prices — while Pak Khlong Talat (the flower market) is most alive after midnight.
