Night market

4.4(103 reviews)

This evening market in Bang Lamung District draws both locals and visitors looking for a casual, energetic shopping experience on Pattaya's commercial side. Stalls span a broad range of goods, with a strong emphasis on clothing, footwear, and souvenirs, including replica products that shoppers can negotiate down to competitive prices. Street food and seafood vendors run alongside the retail stalls, making it a practical stop for both browsing and eating in one visit. The atmosphere is informal and social, with the kind of crowd energy typical of Thai night markets. Visitors who are comfortable bargaining tend to get the most out of the experience, particularly when shopping for t-shirts, accessories, and souvenir items. The food offering is a genuine draw in its own right, with multiple reviewers noting the quality and variety, especially the seafood selection. Good to know: Bringing small denomination Thai baht notes makes transactions smoother, as many vendors operate cash only. Arriving earlier in the evening helps avoid the heaviest crowds, which tend to build as the night progresses. Comfortable shoes are practical given the amount of walking and the varied ground surfaces typical of open-air market settings.

Visitor Reviews

The Night Market in Pattaya is a must-visit for anyone looking to experience the vibrant local culture and shop for unique items. The market is full of life, with various stalls offering everything from clothes and accessories to souvenirs and local crafts. It’s the perfect place to pick up a gift or something special for yourself. The food options are fantastic—street food stalls line the market offering delicious local Thai dishes, fresh fruits, and snacks. I highly recommend trying the grilled seafood, pad thai, and mango sticky rice, all of which are freshly prepared and packed with flavor. The atmosphere is lively but not overwhelming, and you can easily wander through the market, soaking in the sights and sounds. Bargaining is part of the fun, and it’s a great way to interact with the friendly local vendors. Overall, the Night Market is a great place to spend a few hours shopping, eating, and enjoying the local culture. Whether you’re visiting Pattaya for a few days or a long stay, this market should definitely be on your list!

This place is like Pallika Bazar in Pattaya, the night market is quite famous for shopping, you can do bargaining here, you can buy Replica products like Clothes and Footwear.

If you know how to bargain, you can get things for less price. Mainly look for t-shirt and souvenir.

Tips for Visiting Markets & Shopping

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.
