Pratunam Market
We woke up around 7am and ate our breakfast in our hotel before heading out. I'd say we reached this place around 9am plus plus. Most of the shops were either just closing or just about to open, I'm not sure. But according to
this blog post that I found on google, it is said that...
Technically, the market runs twenty-four hours. Realistically, your shopping will be between 10:00 am and 6:00 pm. Though keep in mind you are in Thailand. Some shops won’t be opened by 10:00 am and many will have closed by 4:00 pm. The air-conditioned stores around the market’s perimeter stay open later, until 9:00 pm, and there is a decent night market that sprawls out and across Ratchaprarop Road that can run into the early morning hours depending on the weather, the crowds, and the mood of the vendors.
So yeah... We did went into a building that consist of a few floors and we shop for quite awhile in there. Most of them don't accept bargains and won't let you have a discount (unless you're asking for a 10 baht discount) but if you think that the item is not worth the amount that the person has stated, please tell them the price that you want to get for it. That's because I bought a handbag there, it's quite good quality and... very heavy. The sales girl told me it's 1100 baht but when I was hesitating and looking at the bag for awhile, the guy next to me (who was actually making some other bags with his tools) told me he will sell it for 500 baht. I was like wtf?? BUY! Then when the other workers knew about it they were talking loudly and laughing at that guy. I'm not sure what they were saying but I hope this is not one of the techniques to make their customer buy their things. Nuff said, I paid for it and we quickly walk away until the shop is not in our line of sight anymore.
