When all the malls are closed and I still have an itch for shopping, I head to Suan Lum Night Bazaar. The best thing about this place (other than the endless rows of shops) is that it is at night so I don’t have to deal with sweltering heat. The shops here have mostly tourist favorites, with lots of Thai artwork and souvenirs, which are not really my taste. But good thing there is one zone (in the Lopburi soi) where I can get myself some cool fashion made by local designers. Suan Lum is really easy to find, right next to the Suan Lum subway station. For me, some of the most peculiar and exciting streets to walk down in Thailand are in Pattaya Beach and Patong Beach in Phuket. To some people, these might seem a bit dodgy, as there are a lot of girly bars and knock-off goods, but these streets are also home to lots of food stalls, cheap eats and cocktails on mobile carts. Closed off to traffic, they are a fascinating chance to people watch, and you have to experience them at least once.
