The 15 Best Markets in Thailand, Ranked
Bangkok dominates this one, from the big air-conditioned complexes at the top to the wholesale lanes of Chinatown and the flower market that never shuts. Chatuchak is the one I'd send a first-timer to, with thousands of stalls and the review numbers to match. The rest spreads out to night markets in Chiang Mai, Hua Hin, Korat and Pattaya, ranked by Google rating with review volume breaking the ties.
