Pratunam Market



Pratunam Market (ประตูน้ำ) is one of Bangkok's major markets, and is Thailand's largest clothing market. The name Pratunam means 'water gate'.

Overview
The market includes retail stores and outdoor stalls, the latter aimed at tourists. It is at the intersection of Ratchaprarop and Phetburi Roads in the Ratchathewi District. This is may be the cheapest market for buying clothing,, fabrics, and textiles in central Bangkok, while the Chatuchak Weekend Market probably is the low price leader.
