When you think of shopping in Bangkok, the first place that usually comes to mind is Platinum Mall.
But did you know there's a more affordable shopping area just across the street?
Pratunam is an easy district to find no matter where you are in Bangkok thanks to its domineering icon, the Baiyoke Sky Hotel (you can watch my other vlog for a hotel tour!)
Rising an impressive 88 storeys high, it is one of Thailand's tallest buildings. A distinctive feature of Bangkok's skyline, it also marks the spot for one of the city's all-time, favourite pursuits: Shopping!
Pratunam is one of Bangkok's most colourful and chaotic areas, and famous for its wholesale fashion factory outlets, street markets, bazaars and armies of local vendors.
Pratunam Market is one of Thailand’s largest clothing market. The prices here are great because items are sold at bargain prices.
TIP: Buy 3 items to get a discounted price!
It is a must see for any traveler. With thousands of stores selling everything from fashionable clothes to electronics, and everything in between, Pratunam is a great area to get a lot of shopping done.
How to get there: For visitors who are using Bangkok BTS, there are several BTS stations that surround the Pratunam area including Phaya Thai BTS Station and Ratchathewi BTS Station. Pratunam is only a short walk away from these two stations.
