Pattaya Night Bazaar

Pattaya night market is one of the interesting "experiences" when visitors come to the beautiful country of Thailand. Visiting Thailand, in addition to famous beautiful landscapes, visitors can also freely shop and explore the busiest markets and shopping centers in Southeast Asia.

Unlike other street markets in the city, the Pattaya Night Bazaar is symbolized as the charm of local produce. This is a street shopping area worth visiting in Pattaya, Thailand.

Located opposite Central Festival Pattaya beach, Pattaya Night Bazaar has a large warehouse with extremely rich goods. There are more than 250 stalls and shops that make this self-contained street market a destination for shopaholics of both domestic and foreign tourists. The Pattaya Night Market has a prime location and is easily recognizable, right across from the city's largest shopping mall.

From the outside, it looks like a lot of other merchandise stores. However, when visitors step inside, they will feel surprised. There are dozens of small shops packed inside the market and located along the side street with each shop selling their own products and goods.

However, the aisles are wide enough for tourists to comfortably walk, so you won't feel overwhelmed when shopping here. At each store, there are many types of goods such as: tourist souvenirs, clothes, bags, luggage, sunglasses, hats and all kinds of items.

The market is open day and night so tourists can save some time to visit this destination at any time of the day. During the day, the light shining through the windows near the roof makes this area attractive to shopaholics. Meanwhile, it is actually a nightlife destination that attracts countless tourists with bright signs on the front of the building.

Pattaya Night Bazaar is also known as the "Made in Thailand" market with 90% of the goods sold here are local crafts, very suitable for gifts or souvenirs for friends and family. Some suggestions for tourists are Chut thai (traditional Thai dress), Benjarong ceramics, Buddha statues, embroidered bags/wallets, fridge magnets and many more.

Pattaya Night Market is mainly aimed at the tourist market, so you can easily find a lot of products from fabrics, accessories, hats to unique beachwear. This is also a good place to buy Thai snacks and summer clothes.

Other popular items for sale are t-shirts, shorts, jeans, bags, luggage, sunglasses, scented soaps, scarves, shoes, and a variety of jewelry. Some Thai-style trousers and comfortable t-shirts are also quite popular here.

Since this is a market, products are also sold at wholesale prices. Therefore, if tourists go in groups or buy things in large quantities, it will be more beneficial. For example, a shirt usually sells for 100 baht. But if tourists buy 3 shirts, you can get the ideal price of 200 baht for 3 pieces.
