Patpong
night market: The classic night market
of Bangkok.
Patpong night market is a classic
success story no difference from its sex
and nightlife. From a hotspot
"just for men," the night
market has made Patpong
a hotspot "just for anyone"
regardless of age and gender.
Further, both the nightlife and the
night market have become a success model
for other followers.
Patpong night market is sandwiched by the
go-go bars in Patpong 1 interconnected
with the street market on Silom
road. It is best to start your
trip from Saladaeng skytrain or Si Lom
subway stations
and shop along Silom road to Patpong. You'll see
the whole market along the way. Patpong
night market is crowded with Thais
and
tourists especially during the
weekends. It is a good
place to
shop for clothes, handbags, CDs
and
DVDs (bootlegs and mature ratings,)
crazy T-shirts, Thai handicrafts, and
souvenirs,
etc.
If you've already visited the cozy
Suanlum night bazaar,
you may also like to try the crazy
Patpong night market. They're both
within 20 minutes walk. And you'll
find out that Bangkok can offer you 2
similar markets in a totally different
nature, cozy and crazy.

Review
A night market in the middle of go-go
bars, Patpong night
market provides you an environment like
no others. Similar to Pratunam
and Suanlum
night bazaar, here you can find Thai
handicrafts, counterfeit watches and
handbags, clothes, etc. Patpong night
market may satisfies singles or couples
due to the flashy go-go bars, the busy
market, and the crowded
restaurants.
Compared to the day markets, this market is smaller with less
choices of goods. And since it is
surrounded by go-go bars (of which many
can be seen from outside,) and the red light district,
Patpong night market may
not be for some shoppers. If this
is the case, the peaceful nearby Suanlum
night bazaar can be a
better
option.
Patpong night market is ideal for
-Night time shoppers 5/5
-Budget shoppers 5/5
