HER E A R E IMPR ESSI V E markets all over Thailand. Whether visiting a floating market or night market, practice your bargaining skills and get lost in the maze of stalls. On the opposite end of Thailand’s shopping experiences are the high-end malls. Selling everything from fashion and accessories to electronics and home décor, many also have entertainment precincts, with live shows and theme parks. Either way, you’re bound to find everything you want, and plenty you didn’t know you were looking for.
