Pratunam clothes Market
Pratunam Market is the best known secret in town for cheap and stylish clothes. Tops and t-shirts, ladies shirts from 50 baht up to 200 baht is the general price. What you pay 90 baht for here (about 3 dollar US), you pay 150 for anywhere else! Pratunam Market is situated on the petchburi road just around the corner from the World Trade Center.
It is a bazar style market with hundreds of alleys criss-crossing each other to create a maze-like effect, leaving the shopper dizzy and disorientated. Wear comfortable shoes as a few hours with the throngs of merchants and shoppers haggling for prices, and delivery boys tussling for space to walk with the multitude of people wandering through the endless alleys of stalls, may make your feet ache (as well as your head).
Buy two or more.
If you want to haggle for a really low price it is recommended to buy 2 or 3 items of clothing from the same dealer. This will induce the seller to reduce the price drastically.This is the normal procedure in Pratunam market; profits are minimal for the merchants, and therefore the sale of many items per day is needed in order to rentabilize the profits.
