The night markets in Bangkok take shopping to a whole new level. Some boast a staggering 15,000 stalls, with vendors selling a variety of products from garments to live poultry. The night markets are the best places to shop for souvenirs and gifts, as well as knock-off branded goods like t-shirts, shoes, watches, handbags, and others.
Exploring the night markets is a thrill; apart from the variety of goods on offer, you will find that most have dedicated areas for savouring traditional Thai street food, alongside live entertainment to boost the party mood.
Most markets go on until late in the night and will get started by evening. You will find that hotels in Sukhumvit are ideal for indulging in some market hopping. Some of the best, like the Rod Fai Night Market Srinakarin, are located close to excellent city hotels. They offer a unique mix of products, like vintage artefacts and antiques, so make sure to take your time and explore the range of products on display.
