The 7 Best Flea & Street Markets in Rattanakosin (Bangkok Old City), Thailand
Golden palaces, floating markets, majestic porcelain-laid spires…you've never seen a capital city quite like Bangkok. Visit Pratunam or Siam Square for premium shopping, then unwind in the European-style gardens of Dusit. Thon Buri is home to the awesome Wat Arun temple, and over in Phra Nakhon, you’ll find the Wat Pho temple of the Reclining Buddha. Savor mango sticky rice at a food stall before taking in the gilded splendor of the Grand Palace.

1. Soi Rambuttri

Reviewed By Raintree_Thailand - Bangkok, Thailand
Soi Rambuttri is more like what Khao San was decades ago: lots cool shops, eating joints, guest houses and relaxed drinking spots. Throw in street vendors and massage and it has it all. For now, at least, authorities haven't ruined it with over regulation and "renovation".
2. Pak Khlong Talat (Flower Market)

More of a wholesale market than a shopping experience, the fresh flower market has become a tourist attraction thanks to its sheer size, beauty and exoticism.

From early morrning until night time,this pier is really nice with good view of wat Arun and passing by ferry. You can take hop on and hop off ferrey from this pier to the other attractions. Not only variety of restaurants such as Thai authentic restaurant to nice coffee shops but also handicrafts stall and Thai snack stall around this mall. Its location not far from the Grand palace so it is a good place to sip a cup of coffee before going on to the other interesting places.
7. Amulet Market

The Amulet Market is close to the Palace. Strongly encourage a visit. Dozens and dozens of stalls selling amulets and Buddha’s and other Buddhist religious items. Here is a real “local” market that many residents in Bangkok visit to buy for their own personal lives. It is hidden, so you MUST look for it. Give yourself at least 30 - 45 minutes to wander the hidden little streets.
