3 Places to Buy Thai Silk in Bangkok

Whether you're looking for fabric for a new outfit or curtains, or ready-made gift items for your loved ones at home, you'll be thrilled with the endless selection Bangkok has to offer. Everything from shimmering Thai silk and pure cottons to exotic batik sarongs is readily available from a variety of different markets and outlets.

Thai silk is celebrated for its outstanding quality, unique designs and affordability. It comes in an array of colours, patterns and plies, and is sold by the metre or as ready-made clothing and souvenir items such as neckties, scarves, handkerchiefs, shawls, handbags, photo frames, bed covers and so on. However, you also need to be wary of fakes. If the price seems too good to be true, it's probably made of nylon or rayon.
