Visit a Bangkok Market

Did you ever consider visiting a Bangkok market on your next trip to Thailand?

Which markets should you visit in Bangkok?

The flower market, the wet market, the street market, there are just so many.

You don't want to miss out on a visit to one of the many Bangkok street markets and this is something to include in your next Bangkok vacation, before it is too late.

Why do I say, before it is too late?

Well, Asia is changing rapidly and many of the old ways are quickly disappearing; Bangkok is no different.

Bangkok Market

It won't be too long before the street market scene in Bangkok has completely gone; replaced by a shopping centre or covered market area.

It is happening all over Bangkok as the city becomes modernised and the city starts to give the city a new look.

There is a push to remove street traders and relocate them to undercover fixed markets and in many ways that detracts from the cultural attraction of Bangkok.

Street trading is a way of life for many Thais.

There are just so many types of markets in Bangkok that overwhelm the senses and give you that real feeling of the hustle and bustle that Asia is renowned for.

Some of these markets are geared specifically towards the tourist, but once you are out of the main tourist areas then you will come across the places where ordinary people go to shop for their clothes or fresh fruit.

These local markets are the most interesting ones, here you get to see ordinary people going about their business and buying the food for the day.

Clothes markets, food markets, fresh fruit markets, fish markets, floating markets and of course flower markets, Bangkok has got them all.

Regardless of the type of Bangkok street market that you visit you are going to have a great experience and come away with some amazing photographs that capture the essence of Bangkok life.

If you are interested in other Bangkok markets then consider:

• Chatuchak Market - the largest open air market in the world
  
  
• the Paseo - is a small shopping complex and night market combined
  
  
• Talad Rot Fai - to find everything second hand

The Paseo Shopping Mall is located quite close to Suvarnabhumi Airport and is an ideal distraction for those on a short Bangkok layover of six hours or more.

Chatuchak Market

Bangkok's markets are a sensory delight, offering a glimpse into the city's vibrant culture and daily life.

One of the most famous markets is Chatuchak Weekend Market, covering over 35 acres and boasting more than 15,000 stalls.

This market is a treasure trove for shoppers, with everything from handmade clothing and jewelry to home decor, street food, and even pets.

Visitors can navigate the market's colourful alleys, discovering unique souvenirs and trying local delicacies like pad thai and mango sticky rice.

Damnoen Saduak Floating Market

Another must-visit market is Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, located just outside Bangkok. This interesting market showcases traditional Thai commerce, with vendors selling fresh produce, flowers, and handicrafts from boats.

Visitors can take a boat ride through the canals, immersing themselves in the sights, sounds, and aromas of this bustling market. Be sure to try some of the local specialties, such as boat-made noodles and coconut ice cream.

There are tours to both Amphawa Floating Market and Damnoen Floating market that are bookable throught GetYourGuide.

For a more modern market experience, head to Rot Fai Market (Train Night Market), where vintage clothing, street food, and live music create a lively atmosphere.

Bangkok's markets also offer a fascinating glimpse into the city's nightlife. Patpong Night Market, located in the heart of Silom, transforms into a bustling bazaar after dark, with stalls selling everything from souvenirs to electronics.

Meanwhile, Asiatique The Riverfront, a riverside market, offers a more upscale shopping and dining experience, with boutiques, restaurants, and live performances.

Whether exploring day or night, Bangkok's markets promise an unforgettable adventure, filled with unique discoveries, delicious flavours, and unforgettable memories.
