Night Markets in Pattaya

Thepprasit Night Market is one of the biggest and the most popular places for shopping in Pattaya and therefore can get quite crowded. It is also known as ‘Kankheha Thepprasit Market’. It has over 500 stalls selling a wide variety of goods such as t-shirts, shorts, skirts, jewellery, shoes, makeup, toys, plants, handbags, hats, sunglasses, watches, mobile phones, cosmetics, electronics, first copy designer items, trinkets, souvenirs and even pets! 

The real catch here are the food stalls selling mouth-watering traditional Thai cuisines, juice centres and dessert stalls. Try to haggle as and when you can. Conversing in Thai will be very helpful for the same. It is quite close to the Outlet Shopping mall and has a large parking area, so traffic isn't an issue here.

Located opposite the Central Festival Pattaya Beach, the Pattaya Night Bazaar boasts a treasure trove of goods and is among the most popular street markets in the city. With more than 250 stalls and shops, this enclosed Thai street market has gained a cult status among shopping enthusiasts, both locals and tourists. Unlike other street markets in the city, Pattaya Night Bazaar is set in permanent air-conditioned structure.

This place for shopping in Pattaya is not as popular as Thepprasit Night Market. However, the location and timings make it ideal for anyone to visit it once. Since it is situated just down Jomtien Road, it attracts a lot of people who come over to the beach to spend the day. The stalls mainly sell local handicrafts, trinkets, hats, beachwear and sunglasses. Unlike a typical market, you’ll love it because of the party vibe it has. The loud music and cheap cocktail drinks are the real draws here. It is very famous among young locals and tourists. Here you’ll find a variety of cuisines and not just Thai, at very reasonable prices.
