Patpong Night Market

Like most marketplaces, Patpong Night Market is known for its street food and shopping. Giants like McDonalds, KFC, Starbucks, Burger King and other Italian and Thai restaurants are found within a few metres of the market. Soi Thaniya, is an important street for food too, especially for those looking to taste Japanese food. Other than this, there are several street food joints found within the market itself, ensuring that you will never find a lack of food.

As for the shopping, the 250 metre long street may seem smaller than other markets but is filled with a terrific amount of shops of all sizes. The market is known for its cheap souvenirs and knock off fashion items. You will find all kinds of knock off brand items here, from clothes, jewelleries, bags and shoes to lanterns, household items and trinkets. Beware that since this is a tourist spot the prices for most items are excruciatingly high so as to rip off the unknowing visitors. However, with some strong bargaining you may get items at half the selling price, maybe lesser. Patpong Night Market is also weaved in with the “go-go bars” as this is a red light district, so don’t be shocked if you encounter a little bit of obscenity.

You can reach Patpong Night Market by simply following the lights and lines of vendors after you take a sky train or the subway. Furthermore, all taxis and buses know the way to Patpong and you will face no hassle to reach your destination.
