Selecting a place to visit in any resort town in Thailand is easy as there are sites of interest everywhere. In some towns they are historic castles, in others they are stores or beaches. As for Pattaya, the popular among tourists is the famous Thepprasit Market, of course, this is a great place for shopping! Also, before visiting this place, you should know how to haggle properly in the markets in Thailand.
There is no need to fear that by entering said night market, the tourist will be transported to the exotic Middle Ages. The locals do not trade there, seated on bamboo mats, real pearls or fried insects. Thepprasit Market is a modern and equipped market, similar to those found in most cities. Its attraction is quite different.
Theprasit Night Market dramatically transforms on weekends. For three days from Friday to Sunday the Evening Market in Pattaya turns into an unimaginable and grandiose fair where almost everything is sold. This is why all tourists are advised to visit Thepprasit Market on weekends. It is very interesting and fascinating to see how the market becomes a chaotic pile of stalls and tents with no end in sight.
On weekdays, Thepprasit Market night market is similar to most Thai bazaars, represented by many:
- souvenir stalls;
- food stalls
- stalls selling various animals.
Seeing the Night Market in Pattaya, tourists can try various national Thai dishes, including some rather exotic fried maggots or locusts among them. For souvenir lovers there is always an interesting counter. Given that on weekends the market organizes grand sales, you can buy any product at a reduced and quite acceptable price. Choosing to remember a magnet, a tourist can buy five pieces at once for 100 baht.
The Thepprasit Market night market in Pattaya is characterized by a variety of promotions by various cosmetic or other companies. During such actions a tourist’s skin sample will be taken directly from the portable tent to be checked for the presence of parasites. Right on the spot they will check and tell you that it is necessary to buy urgently expensive remedy to remove the exotic fauna. They will show the worms crawling in the sample through the microscope, forcing the tourist to look for his own wallet. On the subject of this article, I would like to share a great market in Phuket, though a fish market, but it is also no less popular.
If you are wondering how to get to Theprasit Night Market in Pattaya, it is not at all difficult. It is very easy to find, as it is located on Thepprasit Street of the same name almost next to Outtlet Mall. Schedule of the evening market is quite unusual. It begins its activities at 17:30, and wraps up in their stalls traders at 22:00. Therefore, instead of the accepted name of the night market in Pattaya, it is often called the evening market.
