to get the best buy

Pratunam market is right out side of our hotel, the Indra Regent, its a great expreince to shop in Bangkok, it like nothing else on earth.
You will enter a small opening into the market and from there its look buy walk in that order, there is so many diffrent stores making a desion can be difficult to make. The best way that i found was to walk around making note of what i liked and then went back the next day, that was my way but you may just buy as you go.

What to buy: Clothing is the big thing to buy here, from shirts to shorts to undies to socks and its all cheap.

What to pay: Tee Shirts from 50batt
Replica Rolex watch's are plentyfull, just make sure everything works before you buy and do look around coz the prices are varied.

The Pratunam and Baiyoke Markets were just outside our hotel, the Indra Regent, so naturally this was our first shopping destination. The Pratunam Market is famously known as the largest clothing market in Bangkok, they sell clothings for men, women, and children. If they don't have it in Pratunam, then they don't have it in Bangkok :)

Pratunam and Baiyoke Markets is not just in and along the streets but there are covered areas as well. Step inside Baiyoke Tower and you'll find even more shops. There's also a small branch of the PATA Department Store.

You may find that the prices are already cheap, but they can be even cheaper if you know how to bargain :) One minor note here is that the shops in Pratunam closes early, around 8 pm so make sure you plan your time wisely.

A little bit of trivia: Pratunam means Watergate in English

What to buy: clothes, clothes, and more clothes

What to pay: depends on how good your bargaining skill is, but shouldn't be much

The Pratunam market is a very cheap market , and you can find the same items which you can find it in the MBK shopping center and the price is cheaper by 75%.
In Bangkok markets you can find alot of clothes for the small size girls and the quality of the clothes is low , if you wanna to buy a good quality one you will find it in the big shopping center such as world trade center but its very expensive.
Dont miss the Big C shopping center which its located in the front of world trade center, if you are looking for both quality and low price.

Foe export clothing, shoes, sansals and other accessories you can also buy it in here. A wholesale market and there are many buyers from different kinds of people..Bargaining skills is again a must!

What to buy: Accessories

What to pay: $50 is enough!

The best place to shop a fake designer t-shirt is in Pratunam. Pratunam is an area where you can find lots and lots of clothes, especially for women. The area is between Indra hotel and World Trade Center. I really highly recommend this area for shopaholics! Remember to bargain!

What to pay: They are really cheap and the quality is very good!

The stalls set up on the footpath by the Pratunam markets.

What to buy: You can get good imitation brand name sunglasses, watches, clothing etc.

What to pay: The price you pay, depends on your bargaining skills (which is expected)
