Thepprasit Night Market

4.5(5,742 reviews)

One of Pattaya's largest and most popular open-air markets, Thepprasit draws a lively mix of locals and international visitors every evening of the week. Notably clean and fully covered by street market standards, it stands out as a practical and sociable alternative to the more tourist-facing options elsewhere in the city. Alongside vendors selling clothing, cosmetics, and accessories, the food zone is widely regarded as the main draw and the primary reason most visitors make the trip. The market's food stalls serve fresh BBQ seafood, Pad Thai, grilled meats, noodles, curries, and a particularly well-regarded selection of sweet desserts. Visitors note that the dessert and snack offerings tend to be more consistent, while savoury dishes can vary in quality between stalls — sampling before committing to a larger order is a sensible approach. Prices are generally affordable and compare favourably to some of Pattaya's other night markets, making it a solid choice for budget-conscious travellers. Good to know: The market runs daily from 5:00pm to 10:30pm, with the liveliest atmosphere and the fullest selection of stalls typically found between 6:00pm and 8:00pm. Most vendors operate on a cash-only basis, so arriving with Thai baht is advisable. Comfortable footwear is recommended, as the market covers a considerable amount of ground.

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.
