Shopping in a Mall is one thing but experiencing the
vibe and temprament of a Market is a whole different
story. Markets in Thailand are very popular amongs
locals and also tourists. Goods can be bought cheaply
and even fighting for a better price is possible. Do
remark however that nearly everything sold in Markets (especially
clothes) might not be authentic even if the owner claims
they are.

The
different items sold in Markets.
Rarely you do find in Thailand where a Market
only sells one genre of Products. Example a plant market
that only sells plants. Usually all the variety of goods
sold in Markets can be found in one location. The
principle of each Market is same however. Bargain your
price!
