Not the best night market in Bangkok as far as quality goes, but my wife and I had an enjoyable evening there. Here are some tips: Be very polite with both the sellers and the touts. Compliment the people's products. Bargain at less than half their asking price and stick to your low-ball price. Be prepared to walk away. But... more

The Patpong night market is situated right in the middle of one of Bangkoks red light districts. The stalls are set up in the afternoon and taken down around 1am. The goods sold there are mostly knockoffs of brand name items like purses,watches,and sunglasses. You will really have to use your bargaining skills to get a deal here because the... more

Patpong is a fun place to be, even for couples. The night market is nice to start an evening or relax after a long day of exploring. If you should buy stuff is a different question. It's more expensive than other markets, but what do I know, I'm not good in getting real bargains in Thailand anyway. There are some... more

My first night in Bangkok, we hit the Patpong Night Market. You bargain by typing your price on a calculator, the seller laughs, types their outrageous price, you say no and retype - this can go on forever! I walked away several times and 90% of the time the seller called me back and agreed on my price. I was... more

I though Bangkok was awesome until I almost got cheated in Patpong. The sellers at the Patpong Night Market are aggressive and rude when you decide not to buy after asking about an item, but I can live with that. What really ruined my trip was the men standing around promoting Ping Pong Shows at 100 baht including a beer... more

My family ( incl an 8 and 11 year old) visited the patpong markets during our recent bangkok holiday. We arrived just after 6pm when some stall holders were still setting up. I was a little disappointed with the size of the market ( used to the large markets at patong beach) but the variety and quality appeared to be... more

I'm a good bargainer. However, many sellers at Patpong night market simply refuse to go below "rip-off" prices. It's ridiculous. Instead of bargaining properly, the sellers often make an angry face and say, "NOOOO" and then rudely wave you away. I think too many tourists have spoiled the sellers in Patpong. That was my first and last time there. more

Patpong Night Market (also called Silom night bazaar) is situated in the middle of Patpong bars. Yes, literally, in the middle... bars on either side, and the middle of the road has been converted into a shopping market. As for the products sold in the market, just plain AMAZING... i bought fake DKNY and PUMA tshirts... awesome-looking cloth and ethnic... more
