The mall houses a range of shops from high-end to mid-range brands, both local and international. It also has small food outlets and a Gourmet market, along with a gym and a supermarket.

Terminal 21 is conveniently located at the heart of Sukhumvit Road next to the Asoke intersection. It has a walkway access from BTS Asoke station and the luxurious Grande Centre Point Hotel, which is one of the most affordable 5-star accommodations in the area.

Central World

When we say this mall is big, we really mean it! Central World is Thailand’s biggest shopping mall and is included in the top 10 in the world! It was originally the World Trade Center before being renovated into a shopping complex in 2006. Central World houses hundreds of stores, restaurants, cafes, and fifteen cinemas, making it the prime entertainment and shopping destination in Bangkok.

Additionally, the mall has two department stores, a kid’s zone, and an indoor ice skating rink. It’s important to note that the mall has an emphasis on international brands so if you’re looking for local designs, this may not be the place. However, Central World also hosts a night market right outside where you can find delicious Thai food and bargain items.

Location: Central World, 999/9 Rama I Rd, Khwaeng Pathum Wan, Pathum Wan, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon 10330

Chatuchak Weekend Market

The largest of its kind in the world, this is the place to be for bargain fashion finds. Covering more than 11 hectares, the market boasts over 15,000 stalls within 27 sections filled with art, clothing, souvenirs, vintage finds, home goods, and more! This place is huge so make sure you have your comfortable shoes on and be prepared for a long day of walking!

If you get hungry along the way, the market houses various food stalls where you can experience authentic Thai food for a good price. And don’t worry about shopping too much, because there are various courier services available that can ship your items overseas.

The market is only open on weekends but if your itinerary doesn’t include a weekend, Chatuchak is also open on Friday nights from 6 PM 'til midnight. Expect a scaled-back version though as most of the stalls remain closed on Friday nights. Art lovers, however, would find Friday nights the best time to visit because they can enjoy the market’s art section without the usual crowds.

Location: Chatuchak Weekend Market, 587/10 Kamphaeng Phet 2 Road, Chatuchak, Bangkok 10900

Open weekends from 6 AM to 6 PM

Jodd Fairs

Locals have deemed this night market the most accessible and convenient one. The Ratchada Train Market, which was known for its iconic colorful tents used to be the go-to place for locals and tourists but when the pandemic hit, businesses were forced to shut down. When Thailand re-opened its borders, the organizers relocated, revamped, and renamed the market Jodd Fairs.

Although the market has lost its colorful roofs; it got an upgrade in terms of quality. Most of the stalls in the previous Ratchada are still up and running, and a lot of new vendors have also joined the mix. The market has an eclectic mix of over 600 stalls selling a wide range of items from trendy fashion pieces to unique handicrafts.

More than a shopper’s paradise, you won’t ever go hungry in Bangkok’s night markets with the wide selection of food stalls and restaurants available. You can also enjoy a few drinks at the bars offering live music performances.

Location: Jodd Fairs, Rama IX Rd, Huai Khwang, Bangkok 10310

Open daily from 4 PM to 12 AM

Srinakarin Train Night Market

This is Bangkok’s original and popular train night market run by the same organizers of Jodd Fairs. Remember we mentioned how the old Ratchada Train Market relocated after the pandemic? Well, Srinakarin has taken over it now and offers visitors a unique night market experience.

Although it’s farther from the city, it’s well worth the travel because it’s less crowded and has a more laid-back atmosphere compared to Jodd Fairs. Locals love to visit this sprawling market, so if you’re looking for a truly authentic Thai experience, it’s worth considering making the trip here.

The market welcomes you with an array of food stalls, but as you go deeper inside, you’ll find vendors selling a variety of goods from clothing and accessories to gadgets and souvenirs. One thing Srinakarin is famous for is its vintage section. The market is brimming with antiques and retro shops located in old buildings that take you back in time.

There are three sections: Rod’s Antiques, Warehouse Zone, and Market Zone. The first two zones are where you can find antique stores selling stuff like vintage cameras, classic cars, motorbikes, and even Japanese anime toys. Meanwhile, the Market Zone offers a more contemporary selection of apparel, toys, and other souvenir items.

Location: Srinakarin Train Night Market, 51 Srinagarindra Road, Nong Bon, Prawet, Bangkok 10250

Open Thursday to Sunday from 5 PM to 1 AM
