Banglamphu
Market
|
Banglamphu
is these days famous for its cheap tourist guest houses,
bars and restaurants. However, the area has long been
a popular shopping destination among the Thais.
The
Banglamphu market, extending across Chakraphong, Phra
Sumen, Tanao and Rambutri Roads, is particularly good
for inexpensive ready-made garments, handbags, shoes,
cosmetics, accessories and trinkets.
Like
many other markets in Bangkok, bargaining is essential
to get a good price. Letting a Thai friend do the bargaining
for you is probably a good idea (but takes out some
of the fun).
