The largest draw of this neighborhood has to be the Sai Tai Mai Centre Night Market. This expansive evening destination is a treasure trove of street food, fashion and bargain finds, all at prices that won’t break the bank. Popular with locals and visitors alike, it’s conveniently situated right next to the Southern Bus Terminal. Unlike more tourist-heavy venues, this market keeps the atmosphere low-key. The highlight zone is the second-hand section, which takes on a full-on vintage vibe with quirky collectibles, retro toys and pre-loved clothing you won’t source anywhere else.
For something truly off the beaten path, head to Wat Pradu Market. After dark, this locale transforms into a wholesale wonderland for bakery items and Thai desserts. Most goods are sold in bulk – think boxes of layered cakes or enormous stacks of traditional sweets. Be sure to carry cash, as many stallholders don't accept bank transfers.
