This was our introduction into the markets of Thailand. The 3 hours we spent at this market was barely enough time to start exploring the thousands of stalls. Yes...can you actually shop till you drop. The market is positioned at the intersection of Ratchaprop and Petchburi roads across the highway from the huge shopping center called the Platinum Fashion Mall in Bangkok. There's a bridge that connects these two shopping meccas which allows for easy navigation.
Thailand is known for its cheap food and clothing. Anything your mind could conceive in relation to clothing and Thai souvenirs can be found in these alleys where the market was situated. Beach wear, traditional Thai clothes, Western well-known brands, shoes and bags are of the items you could pick up. However, there were no food stalls except Thai fruits venders amongst the clothing stalls which was far in between so come prepared. The great thing about this market was the fact that you could bargain with the salesman for the best price possible. Which was always a great bargain in the end.
The best time we found to go to this market was during the week as the weekends were overcrowded and was difficult to get around through the masses of people. The market is open at 7am-7pm and gets extremely busy as the day goes on. It's best to set a day aside to get the full feel of what the market has to offer. We throughly enjoyed this market as our first taste of Bangkok Thailand.
