Many Westerners come to Bangkok, Thailand in search of cheap clothing. Thailand is known worldwide as a place where you can buy cheap shirts, jeans, shirts, skirts, silk dresses, shorts, men’s suits and many other articles of clothing. But if you do not know Bangkok very well, still have to know where to buy cheap clothes. Check out these wonderful places in Bangkok, if you are interested in buying cheap clothes, and soon you wish you’d brought another suitcase.Chatuchak market - also known as JJ market is the market for local Chatuchak weekend Bangkok. With more than 13,000 retail outlets (is huge!) The market sells everything, but it is a particularly important place in search of cheap clothing. Here are some 1,000 stalls selling all kinds of clothing imaginable. From shirts to shorts, skirts sweaters, jackets, pants, there is everything here. You can find professional clothing and traditional Thai clothes. There are also hundreds of very cool shops that sell one-of-a-dress kind of young, local Thai designers and the prices are usually not more than $ 5 - $ 12 per unit. To get to Chatuchak Market, take the sky train station Mochit and follow the crowd. It is open on Fridays and Saturdays and Sundays (until 6 pm). Mahboonkrong Mall (MBK) - MBK Mall is one of the best places to buy cheap clothes in Bangkok. It’s a huge mall that has about 8 floors and all types of clothing are available here. From brand names to local designers, you’ll find any cheap clothes you want. In the upstairs, you’ll see traditional Thai clothes and shirts, shorts, jeans, skirts, jackets, etc. On the ground, first, second and third floors, there are many small boutiques and department stores that sell all kinds of garments of clothing imaginable. Furthermore, in these plants, there are several inexpensive tailors who can make a skirt, a woman’s dress, work clothes of a man, shirts, ties - all you want and all very cheap. MBK is close to the national station Stadium sky train (one on the right side as you get off the train, not to be missed!) Siam Square - Siam Square is the local university area and is flooded with college students anytime day and night. It is also a great shopping area for clothes, and attending to the price range for college students, and also have the latest hip, trendy clothes at affordable prices. Shirts, skirts, shorts, spaghetti strap tops, jeans, shoes, everything is available here. Also, if you go to some of the alley ways, will find plenty of other shops are designer shops (local young Thai designers) at bargain prices. The only drawback of Siam Square is because the Thais are small stores cater for young people, the sizes are very small. If you are above a U.S. size 10, is not likely to find something that fits here unfortunately. Siam Square and Siam in the sky, the train station. It is the area in front of all malls (Mall Siam Discovery, Siam Paragon, Siam Center, etc) but as all we see are tons of shops and young Thais, it is difficult miss.Bobae Market — Boba clothesaholics market is a ‘paradise. Clothes are very cheap here, but is expected to buy in bulk or wholesale (ie, three or four pieces in each place). The prices are so cheap though ($ 1.50 per shirt) that is easy to want to buy more than one item. Boba has any type of clothing you like, but is especially a great place for jeans, shirts, jerseys, shirts, blouses, skirts, etc. To get silly, you can catch a boat from Siam Square (a little hard to find but although one of the traders in any of the malls near Siam can tell you how to get there, and it is fun on the boat at the Klong), or take a taxi.Baiyoke Markets - There’s a huge market area near Baiyoke Tower and hundreds of shops in the complex Baiyoke Tower. Again, here, is expected to buy at least two parts (need not be the same design, however, only two shirts, two pairs of shorts, etc) but the prices are about half what you would pay at Chatuchak (about $ 1.50 per shirt, sometimes up to $ 1 per shirt and the quality is beautiful). You can also get larger sizes here, so Baiyoke markets are ideal for those who are above a size of U.S. 8, as well as those that are small (they have sizes for everyone, because this is where most of the exporters to Europe and the U.S. buy their clothing). Go to Chidlom sky train station, then take a taxi to Baiyoke. You may walk there, but the streets are a bit confusing. A taxi driver will take you directly however there for only $ 1.25 Sales fee.Shopping Mall - Bangkok also has many Western-style malls, with thousands of clothing stores. Siam Paragon, Siam Discovery, Siam Center, Central World Plaza, Central Chidlom, Gaysorn Plaza, Emporium, Central Ladprao, Seacon Square and more - all these places usually have great sales on clothes at least once a month. Therefore, make sure you check out the local malls too.Don forget, if you go to any market areas can and are expected to negotiation, so prices will be even cheaper than established by first time. The only places they can not bargain in department stores and supermarkets. Even in smaller stores sometimes offer you a discount, though, here is best not to try to negotiate, but only to be “undecided” on buying more than one item. Miraculously, much of the time, the price will come down if you look you can buy two or more.Bangkok, Thailand, is a shopper’s paradise of cheap clothing, so do not forget to bring a lot of money. You’ll be sorry if they do not.
