The 10 Best Markets in Bangkok, Ranked
This lot splits between big indoor shopping complexes and proper open-air markets, with a solid Chinatown cluster in the middle from Yaowarat's gold shops and street food down to the wholesale lanes of Sampheng. Chatuchak is the one I'd clear a whole day for, purely on scale, though the flower market wins if you like your shopping at 3am. Ranked on Google ratings, with review numbers breaking the ties.
