A popular trading cantre for textiles and fabrics, this lively market is spread around the base of
the Baiyoke II Tower, attracting a colourful mix of African, Arabic and local trader.
An easy to reach well know wholesale shopping market that basically offers clothes.
Shops do sell retail but the price is much higher and they are not so eager to sell.
To get wholesale price you'll need to buy at least 3 pieces of the same item or else you get retail price.
Conveniently centered at the corner of Rathchaprarop and New Petchaburi
Roads but it covers a much broader
area extending up Rathchaprarop
to the Indra Hotel.
It includes a vast covered area bounded by these
streets called "City Complex". Walking distance from World Trade
Center
and Panthip Plaza. Thailand's tallest building (Baiyoke 2 Tower) is part of the market.
