BoBae
Market
and
BoBae
Towers.
Some
parts
of
this
market
are
actually
in
Pathumwan
District
near
the
Hualamphong
Railway
Station.
In
Krung
Kasem
road,
but
to
save
confusion
its
all
added
to
Pom
Prap
Sattru
Phai
district,
after
all
its
still
all
Bangkok.
It
is
not
confusing
to
Thai
people,
it’s
still
Bobae
Market
and
district
lines
mean
nothing
to
them
especially
if
they
work
there.
I
love
visiting
this
market,
it’s
so
crazy.
The
narrow
passageways,
almost
seems
like
a
prison
sentence
for
the
people
working
within
them.
It’s
confined,
it’s
hot,
it’s
humid
and
in
many
places
so
crowded
its
not
easy
to
make
progress
to
buy
or
sell.
This
market
caters
for
bulk
buyers
and
is
therefore
very
cheap
if
you
know
how
to
drive
a
hard
bargain.
As
you
pass
over
the
canal
Khlong
Phadung
Krung
Kasem
this
canal
splits
the
market
in
two,
then
cross
the
Krung
Kasem
road,
take
the
one
narrow
passageway
(
along
Khlong
Mahanak
)
leading
to
Bobae
Towers,
swift
and
noisy
ferry
boats
pass
along
the
canal
creating
a
huge
wash
that
gives
the
locals
on
the
sides
a
few
problems.
This
passageway
is
no
more
than
a
metre
wide,
so
be
prepared
to
side
step
before
you
reach
the
other
end.
This
then
opens
up
on
Bobae
Towers
building.
It’s
a
bit
like
the
Day
the
Earth
stood
still.
The
traffic
here
is
terrible.
However,
there
is
also
plenty
to
see
and
do
here.
Bobae
Market
is
a
major
low-cost
clothing
selling
area.
It
is
located
on
a
section
of
Krung
Kasem
Road
between
Lan
Luang
Road
and
Bamrung
Mueang
Road
on
the
northeast
border
of
the
district.
BoBae
market
is
well
known
to
be
the
centre
of
garment
wholesale
for
over
30
years.
Today,
Bobae
Tower
revolutionised
the
wholesale
clothing
business
by
having
well
over
1300
shops
all
under
one
roof
with
air
conditioning
and
facilities
for
the
customer's
convenience
making
BoBae
Tower
the
biggest
garment
wholesale
centre
in
Thailand.
It
offers
good
quality
clothing
at
reasonable
prices
together
with
facilities
for
export
&
shipping
transactions
BoBae
Tower
is
situated
in
the
heart
of
Bangkok
where
transportation
is
the
most
convenient.
Bangkok
is
a
shopping
haven
where
you
can
make
use
of
your
shopping
skills
while
enjoying
the
bustling
lifestyle
this
Thai
city
can
offer.
If
you
are
searching
for
the
best
goods
at
the
best
price,
Bangkok
certainly
won’t
disappoint.
Many
visitors
visit
Pratunam
Market
or
Chatuchak
Market
many
times
while
visiting
Thailand,
but
the
smart
local
resident
knows
where
to
find
the
best
place
for
mass
market
clothing.
In
Bangkok’s
busy
Bobae
Market
this
area
offers
all
you
need
for
wholesale
shopping
to
be
found
in
two
main
areas
–
Bobae
Market
and
Bobae
Tower
which
are
in
the
same
location.
These
have
long
been
recognized
in
Bangkok
as
a
wholesale
market
paradise,
with
thousands
of
shops
and
bargain
clothing
goods.
The
goods
here
are
at
very
low
prices
and
usually
sold
by
the
dozens.
It
is
the
favourite
hunting
ground
not
just
for
shoppers
but
traders.
