Pratunam is one of the older shopping areas in Bangkok that has a highly-deserved reputation among bargain shoppers.
Passing through the area, you will see many
shops on the main roads. But the real activity is in the market hidden
behind the stalls and shops. Here youll find a huge variety of low cost
clothes, fashion accessories, shoes, watches, electronic gadgets and
all sorts of souvenirs. It is usually very congested as there are many
eager shoppers looking for their bargains.
Pratunam is the location for Thailand's tallest
building, the Baiyok Tower. This is the major wholesale center for the
garment trade. It is very popular with minor and major international
traders, particularly those from Africa. There is even an African
restaurant nearby.
Bargain hunters looking for good deals on
computers, accessories and software flock to Pantip Plaza, which is now
known throughout the world for its low prices.
