Located around the corner from Silom Road and across from Lumphini Park is the colourful and eclectic Suan Lum Night Bazaar. Less chaotic and claustrophobic than Chatuchak Market,
Chatuchak is the undisputed champion of all the markets in Bangkok and, dare we say, the world! With more than 15,000 individual stalls sprawling across 35 acres, the market contains goods ranging from locally made handicrafts such as bamboo mats, lamps and other household accessories to religious artifacts, cool clothes, art, antiques and peculiar pets and plants.
Bangkok is a shopper’s paradise where you can find just about everything from expensive brand name goods to cheap knockoffs all within easy walking distance. Daytime shopping can be hot and sweaty if you do it outdoors and can leave you absolutely exhausted afterwards. What better way to increase your stamina by exploring the various air conditioned malls hunting for bargain in style and comfort.
Over the years the Thai capital has truly developed into a world-class city for shoppers. Whether it’s a gleaming mall packed with designer labels or a relaxed stroll through a vibrant market full of exotic goods, colourful textiles and handmade jewellery, then Bangkok has everything to suit the tastes of the most discerning shop-a-holic or bargain-hunter.
