8 min read3 Day 2 Nights Bangkok Weekend Shopping Itinerary 2023
Let’s do a new 3 Day 2 Nights Bangkok Weekend Shopping Itinerary 2023 and this is based on the new night markets as well as places that we visited for the past two years.
The main reason we are posting this 3 Day 2 Nights Bangkok Weekend Shopping Itinerary 2023 as the old 4 Day 3 Nights Bangkok Weekend Shopping Itinerary story is no longer relevant. Some of the places are close especially the night markets.
Please take note that there are many night markets have been closed for the past few years and that includes NEON Night Market, Ratchada Train Market, Artbox Night Market and more. Hence, we have included two new night markets and they are Jodd Fairs Night Market and Jodd Fairs Dandenum Night Market.
We have excluded Bobae Shopping Mall and Bobae Market for this itinerary as we have not been to the market for years. These two places are popular among locals and some tourists who are looking for wholesale deals.
We assume you arrived at Bangkok on Friday morning and leaves on Sunday midnight. The rest how you plan your 3 Day 2 Nights Bangkok Weekend Shopping Itinerary will depends on you.

Morning:
Pratunam Market
Start your day at Pratunam Market, a bustling wholesale market famous for its affordable clothing, accessories, and textiles. This is a great place to shop for fashion items at wholesale prices.
The Pratunam market starts early in the morning so you can plan your trip to this market. Most of the prices are for wholesale (min 3 items) and most of the time the price is reasonable and fixed. You can try your luck for bargain but don’t expect more.
Afternoon:
Platinum Fashion Mall
Visit Platinum Fashion Mall, a wholesale shopping center known for its vast selection of clothing, accessories, and fashion items. The Platinum Mall is just across the road opposite Pratunam Market.
After your shopping at Pratunam Market, time to re-energize and shop again at Platinum Mall.
This mall offers both retail and wholesale options, so you can find great deals on trendy fashion pieces. The most important part is the shopping mall is fully air-con so you can escape the outdoor heat.
Platinum Mall also offers many food stalls and restaurants at their top floor. There are dozens of food stalls at reasonable pricing.

Take a walk to visit CentralWorld which is less than 10 minutes away. Indulge in some luxury shopping at CentralWorld, one of the largest shopping malls in Southeast Asia. This mall offers a wide range of high-end fashion brands, electronics, home goods, and entertainment options.
There are also plenty of dining options at CentralWorld, you will be spoilt for choices. After a full day of shopping, it is time for rest as there are two more days to go!
2. Jodd Fairs Night Market
Jodd Fair Night Market in Bangkok is a unique shopping and dining experience that offers visitors an exciting array of products, food, and entertainment. Located in the bustling Rama 9 Road area, the market is a great place to spend an evening with friends or family.
Jodd is the name of the owner of the market and he is used to run the Ratchada Train Market. Since the Ratchada train market was closed due to the development of the land, Jodd created the Jodd Fair night market at Rama 9 Road Bangkok.One of the best things about Jodd Fair is its diverse range of products. The market has over 700 stalls selling everything from clothing and accessories to electronics and home goods. Visitors can find unique and trendy items at reasonable prices, making it a popular destination for tourists and locals alike.

Start your day at Chatuchak Weekend Market, one of the largest markets in the world. Explore the countless stalls selling a wide range of items, including clothing, accessories, home decor, and local handicrafts. Don’t forget to bargain for the best prices.
You can reach Chatuchak Weekend Market via BTS Train or MRT subway. The choice is yours and it is very convenient.
Chatuchak weekend market is one of the largest markets in the world and hence you need to read the map to get around.
Please take note of pickpockets (not locals) when you are walking through crowded alleys and walkways. There are many police around but always take care of your belongings.
We visited Chatuchak Weekend Market many times since more than 10 years ago. If you are looking for local designer good, this is the right place and there are also many unique things you can get at this market.

1.Bangsue Junction Mall
Bangsue Junction is another shopping mall located near Chatuchak. There are three malls in Chatuchak and they are Mixt Chatuchak, JJ Mall and Bangsue Junction Chatuchak.
Bangsue Junction Chatuchak offers more choices for shoppers that are looking for vintage and furniture items. The vintage and the furniture shops are located on the higher floors while the lower floors offer the usual fashion retail shops. We found a few vintage toy shops in this mall too.
2.Mixt Chatuchak
Mixt Chatuchak is a shopping mall built next to Chatuchak Market and they open daily from 10 am to 10 pm.
It is a multi storey shopping mall and the concept is they offer many small retail stores similar to Chatuchak market style but with fully air conditioned. You don’t need to break a sweat shopping here.
There is a food court at the highest level of the mall and some restaurants at the ground floor. There are many retail outlets here so you might want to shop here if you missed the weekend. In short, Mixt Chatuchak is a ‘mini’ Chatuchak market in the mall.
Evening:
Jodd Fairs Dandenum Night Market
This is the latest night market in Bangkok and they opened since a few weeks ago. The same concept of Jodd Fairs Bangkok, this new Jodd Fairs is bigger and they are located on a former theme park.
It comes with hundreds of retail shops and food stalls with the iconic mini castle as well as vintage cars at the front of the night market.
Jodd Fairs Dandenum Night Market is located near the Chatuchak Weekend Market and it makes sense to visit this place after your visit to Chatuchak.
