Patpong market, located on narrow streets between Surawong and Silom Roads in Bangkok city, comes to life only in the late evenings. The place is known for many old shops and roadside shops where you could buy anything literally. However, most of them would be fake brands, and the buyer should possess excellent negotiation skills. You can go to this market to experience Bangkok's nightlife. There are many nightclubs located in this market. Still, it is safe for kids and women to visit this crowded place. Happy travelling.
