After recently cleaning up its act Patpongs become one of the must night shopping destinations for avid shoppers. Found in the built-up area known as Silom the place is always busy and chaotic with all the commotion from the GO GO bars nearby and lots of foreign tourists. This market in Bangkoks notorious nightlife district is often the first and easiest stop for many tourists just arriving to Bangkok whilst lodging at one of several mid-to-upper-end hotels in Silom.

Be warned though the quality and prices of most items sold are about as real and trustworthy as the girls shaking their wares in go-go bars flanking the area. Both market and go go bars seem to complement each other well but remember not to be fooled by first impressions and to bargain hard.


How to get there- Coming from BTS Siam stationde part at Sala Daeng station and exit down one of the right hand stairs. Follow the increasing trail of vendors along the side walk and after five minutes you ll know you re there.
