Shopping

In Bangkok familiar High Street names mingle with stylish designer boutiques and bustling outdoor markets. Exquisite Thai silk can be purchased in many colours for very reasonable prices and made into outfits by tailors or bought home to turn into whatever you wish. Stalls selling handicrafts such as silver jewellery and textiles, often made by people from the Northern hill tribes, are found throughout the country.

Custom tailoring is incredibly popular with tourists throughout South East Asia. If you have a favourite outfit you would like copied, its worth packing in your suitcase and bringing with you.

Chatuchak Market is a weekend market in Bangkok reckoned to be the biggest of its type in the world. It is located just by Mo Chit Skye Train station and is an absolute must for almost anyone visiting Bangkok on a weekend. This amazing market has pretty much anything you could wish to buy and the prices are legendary. Similarly, central Bangkok's Pratunam area is a must for those looking for next season's fashions at knock down prices.

Hi-tech gadgets and cutting edge technology products can be found at great prices across Bangkok.
