Patpong/Silom
Night Market
|
 The
strip of pavement along the north side of Silom and
the entire pedestrian precinct of Patpong is transformed
into a busy market for garments and other products after
sunset.
In
the daytime, Silom Road functions as Bangkok's center
for business, banking and commerce. During the night,
it turns into a lively entertainment zone and night
market.
The
main products on sale are ready-to-wear garments with
many brand-name items. Please be aware that the brand-name
items are cheap imitations. Also available are pirate
tapes and CDs, watches, various Thai handicrafts, games,
leather items, household ornaments and the like. Bargaining
is a must at this lively market, which flanks some of
Bangkok's notorious night spots.
 The
Patpong/Silom night market gets going after normal working
hours and continues until well after midnight. The market
adjoins the Saladaeng BTS Station on Silom Road.
Dozens
more small boutiques and shops can be found just around
the corner, along the northern side of Silom Road. Branches
of Central and Robinson's department stores and several
shopping plazas are also located on Silom Road.
