Thailand is famous for it’s Night Bazaars, and Pattaya, Thailand is no different, offering tourist 3 night markets to experience; each one is very different from the others and they’re all withing walking distance from area hotels .
The Patpong Night Market is quickly becoming the busiest night market in Pattaya. Foreign tourists fill the place every night, buying everything from DVDs, cheap clothes to great locally prepared foods. Even if they aren’t buying anything, the market is an attraction in and of itself. Watching tourist and locals do some hard bargaining, or just people watching, you won’t be bored. The Patpong Night Market can be reached by taking the BTS to the Sala Daeng station and then exit down one of the right-hand stairs. Follow the trail of vendors along the sidewalk and within 5 minutes you’ll reach the bazaar.
Suan Lum Night Bazaar stays open from 5pm to midnight, and some of the shop stay open even longer. This Bazaar offers a large beer garden that has a variety of food and live entertainment. The bazaar itself has vendors offering items like jewelry, clothing, DVDs, fruits and vegetables, hand-made tapestries, sculptures, paintings and fine arts. There’s one side of the market that offers an indoor/outdoor, quieter area with restaurants, a Hall with a 6,000 person capacity for special events and entertainment venue. To get there, take the MRT subway to Lumpini station and the market is located right next to the Lumpini Park.
Finally, the Silom Village Trade Center is a great place to experience the elegance and charm of the Thai culture. The vendors sell furniture, Thai crafts, handbags, art and has live entertainment, and many fine restaurants. Take the BTS to the Surasak station, or the MRT to the Si Lom Station and walk to Silom road, you can’t miss the beautiful lights of the night market.
