Saphan Phut Night Market


Do you hate to shop among very hot and crowded malls at daylight?

Do you feel bored when the things you want don't worth the price?

Do you want to shop and hang around the long riversides?

Well...here " Saphan Phut Night Market " is the right place for you :))


As famous for the beautiful views from the Bridge for taking photos , the great meeting points, and the excellent place to shop at night, Saphan Phut night market (The Memorial Bridge) has rapidly become popular among Thai teenagers for a long time.

Since " Saphan" means " Bridge" in English, so the shopping area is located along the Chao Phraya Riversides under the Saphan Phut bridge (The Memorial Bridge). As you can see it stretching for a long way, on both sides of the road, and crammed with stalls selling the variety kind of goods in the picture below .


The market opens from 5 pm until 12.00 pm every night ( except Mondays). 

You can easily get there by 3 ways.

1. Take a bus ; number 6, 7 , 7 , 8, 9 , 73, 82

2. Take a boat on the Chao Phraya River and get off at Saphan Phut pier. 

(You will see the market as soon as you get off the boat.)


3. Take a taxi  LOL




Here, there are hundreds of items, for example, second-hand jeans , 

vintage stuffs, trendy pants, brand-name clothing, shoes bags, purses, 

belts, accessories, and fashionable clothes for men, women, and children 

to buy with very cheap price.


Personally, T-shirts are especially good!  The price starts as low as 99 

baht for top quality shirts. In each T-shirt stall, they designed their own 

prints or drawings on their products , so the same styles and prints will 

not bother you in other stalls around there.


Jeans, pants, skirts, and dresses are also worth buying. Dresses can be 

bought for as cheap as 159 baht and  skirts for 130 baht . 

Sports shoes,running shoes, casual shoes, or teenage 

sneakers are also sold as low as 350  baht.


There are also a few of tattoo shops and plenty of young artists drawing and paining around there. 

Don't miss to visit, if you want to get a cool drawings or Thai tattoos. :)


Anyway, some of you may wonder about the quality of those varieties of goods, right?? 

I can say that the quality is worth than its prices.


For my199- baht pant, I bought it 7 months ago and found out that the color never faded, the shape never changes, and the broken sewing never happens. :))



Also this pink polka dot shirt, I bought it for 159 baht almost 3 months ago. :)

See?? CHEAP !! GOOD!!  WORTH  !! AND can't be found anywhere else !!

VISIT here " SAPHAN PHUT NIGHT MARKET " a real PARADISE on earth!! hahaha


Catch ya on next post !! :))
xoxo

  9. That's so interesting. I never been there because it's far from my apartment. If I have a chance to go there, except the cloth, are there anything else that you'd like to recommend?

  10. I am intrigued about the market and have decided to include the saphan phut NM into the agenda. I think there is only so much chatuchak and patpong market to stomach.
