This is one city that you enjoy shopping in every kind of things you want. Actually, the OTOP (one district one product) products and handmade are very popular and interesting for souvenirs with the reasonable prizes and depending the quality of products.
Baan Tawai
Baan Tawai is located on Hang Dong District where is quite away from downtown. But if you find the style of your decorations, it’s worthy to waste a little bit your time getting there. In addition, you can design and order what you want and see the construction of making in the factories around there.
Night Shopping
Night is very colorful to walk around the city and find some souvenir back to your home. Not only the travelers like it, I also do shopping at night to avoid the sunshine and hot whether at noon. There are Saturday Night Walking Street (Wua Lai Road), Sunday Night Walking Street (Near 3 Kings Monument), and Night Bazaar. Many people enjoy these places and I think it’s like a meeting point for the travelers. Maybe you meet your friends up there.
Nimmanhaemin Art & Design Promenade
This is a small event which is arranged in once a year. NAP is very interesting for people who want to see or shop the art and design products. It’s a walking street I never miss because I always buy the homemade accessories for my family. You will see the traditional and talk shows about design and advertisements.
JJ Market (Good taste Market)
JJ Market is like a business and art market which you can find the various things up there. Many people go shopping the homemade products and activities that setting up on the rent space. So, I join the activities on special days that all kinds of businesses arrange it including the convenient parking and restrooms for the customers. Besides, the restaurants and coffee shops are also enclosed JJ Market.
