Best places to enjoy local and street shopping in Bangkok

Shopping in Bangkok is an experience that is hard to pass up! Opportunities are everywhere you go – from world-renowned floating markets, the hustle of buzzing street markets & night markets, to department stores and towering air conditioned shopping malls with the best possible high street and luxury retail brands to languidly check out and buy on your holiday. Bangkok is home to an exhausting, delightful variety of things to shop – take your pick from items such as designer jewellery, cool street fashion, vintage clothes, charming antiques for souvenirs and memorabilia, funky footwear and lots more. Bangkok is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. The city of contrasts packs great vibes and so much liveliness, with action at every turn. More than just a starting point for your Thai vacation, Bangkok shows visitors a time of their lives with the most fun and entertainment, and memories of experiences that stay with you long after you have left the city. For a taste of Thailand and if you wish to specifically shop local goodies, take a stroll through the best night markets in Bangkok – they have such a celebratory, festival ambience with live music, a diverse spread of snacks and drinks and local handicraft/souvenir items. Enjoy the colourful food spread at Rod Fai, shop vintage at quiet JJ green or beat the heat and soak in as much of Chachutak Weekend Market you can.
