A bustling little market in Bangkok with a great atmosphere this place is perfect for fun souvenirs. However if you see something you like buy it then as chances are you won’t be able to find the stall again. Hidden in the darkest depths of Chinatown, Sampeng feels like a doorway into another dimension. Gone is the intense midday sun, replaced with shade, colour, smells and an ever moving throng of people. We seem to be pretty much the only tourists around, everyone else was in the hunt for something (anything!), all clear in the knowledge that no matter how exotic their requirements, Sampeng would deliver. This is more of a mini wholesale market as the stalls do sell by per item or in bulk. Quite an experience to walk in the lanes to see the wares, dried food stuff and pickled food. Product quality is varying from the items. One of the best places to experience Chinatown hustle and bustle and shop for cool stuff at very good prices...and the food!!! You can reach here by taking mrt to sam yot. Not far from city centre. Sampeng market was in alley, connected block by block. Crowded and mostly local who shop here. The items here cheaper than in chatucak and some item rarely/hard to find in chatucak.. You can reach here by taking mrt to sam yot. Not far from city centre. Sampeng market was in alley, connected block by block. Crowded and mostly local who shop here. The items here cheaper than in chatucak and some item rarely/hard to find in chatucak.. Great to experience the hustle + bustle but claustrophobic! I loved coming here as there is so much to see and things are a lot cheaper than Chatuchak Market BUT there are several narrow lanes with motorbikes riding down them and a hell of a lot of people! It is a tight squeeze so if you easily feel claustrophobic I wouldn't recommend. When you are finished, you can walk 10 minutes to the pier to get a taxi boat to your next destination to avoid traffic. Otherwise using Bolt app you can easily reach your destination from there.

Bangkok Chinatown is, in my opinion, quite underrated as a Chinatown. This one is bustling with life, and it’s an awesome mix of low quality hair bands, mid quality clothes, knock off LV purses and rather hi-end taylors… all combined with one of the best food-scenes in this world! In the heart of it all is Sampheng, which is something out of this world! Just one of the shopping streets will take me close to 4-5 hours to finish! I’m «turning Chinese» here and I am loving every second. Haggle with the sellers, they pretend they hate it, but they LOVE it! I have worked up a dozen or so «friends» among these shops which remembers me. Drink tea with the locals and promise me one thing, even if you don’t haggle; sample the local food! The food in Chinatown Bangkok is simply not on this world’s scale…it’s on a galactic scale. Enjoy this gem of a place that has rissen from Covid depression. I pledge UN to put this on a UNESCO world heritage list, this is something all future generations should enjoy!

Sampeng Lane Sampeng Lane Market pretty much sums up the whole shopping experience of Chinatown – and, to some extent, the surrounding Old City area; it’s hot, busy, and the narrow lanes often become overly congested with vendors selling everything from fabrics, cheap clothes and electronics. As well as the steady flow of pedestrian traffic, pushcarts, worn-out vespers and the occasional truck overflowing with fresh produce all add to the madness. But this definitively hectic nature of Sampeng is all part of the fun. Plus, this really is one of the cheapest places to come shopping in Bangkok, with impressive discounts available when you buy in bulk (10 or more items at a time gets you into wholesale territory). The most popular items to look out for are silk sarongs, jewellery, copied DVDs, women’s shoes, home décor and appliances, kids’ toys, cosmetics, handicrafts, dried food and all your usual tourist souvenirs.
