방콕 빈티지시장/VINTAGE MARKETS 안내

나이팅게일 올림픽/Nightingale Olympic

Your great grandparents will tell you that this haunted-looking seven-story building was once a very popular department store standing proud even before the first big Central. Well, Thailand’s first mall is still alive and creepy. Rather than closing up shop, the owners just decided to keep selling the old stock, even though they have had to downsize to just two stories. You’ll be journeying back in time through a pile of old golf clubs, underwear, musical instruments, expired perfumes and men’s shoes. It’s really, never-before-used vintage—what could be better? A customer once bought authentic Fred Perry shorts there for under B1,000, and Fred Perry doesn’t even make those shorts anymore.
Pahurat intersection, 02-221-9733. Open Mon-Sat 9am-5:30pm

왕랑시장/Wang Lang Market

In the shadow of Siriraj Hospital and surrounded by street food, Wang Lang is packed with secondhand clothes, bags and shoes. The secondhand section of the market is located in the middle and is divided into four zones. Most of the shops here have no official names, but they usually stick to their spot so you could come back and find them again if you had to. Mondays and Wednesdays are their clearance days to make room for new stuff. The first zone is the Ton Poh block (Open daily from 8:30am-7pm. B200-500) and it sells bags and high heels, fashion boots and flats. The Pra Too Kiew block (Open daily from 9am-6pm. B350-550) also does shoes and bags as well as some clothes and accessories, though not quite as nice as the stuff in Ton Poh, so you have to be willing to dig around for something good. The most popular shop here is the secondhand Converse shop. The third and fourth zones are called Talad Neaw Neaw, or the indie market (Open daily from 1pm-6pm, B100-550). You can also find handbags, jeans and other clothes there, but the overall vibe is way more hip than the other two sections.

딸랏롯파이/Talad Rod Fai

Located on the Kampaengpetch Rd., next to Chatuchak weekend market and Or Tor Kor fresh market, Talad Rod Fai or Train Market is the newest night spot for secondhand shoppers. As the area is quite large, the place is not too packed, so the atmosphere is way more conducive to walking and browsing than Chatuchak and Wang Lang. Plus, the place is strewn with adorable little vintage-inspired cafes and bars playing old music. Apart from the clothing, bags and shoes, there are some more unusual items from people’s personal collections to be discovered. You can find bikes (B4,000-6,000), Nintendo game consoles (B4,500) and even a 30-year-old Russian camera (B2,000)—all of them in working condition. You can even buy bike parts and assemble your own fixie. The retro home décor includes leather sofas, chandeliers and old school telephones.
Kampaengpetch Rd., 081-920-3972. MRT Kamphaengphet. Open Sat-Sun 4pm-1am

차투착 주말시장/Chatuchak Weekend Market

One of the oldest destinations for indie shoppers, Chatuchak continues to evolve to serve the needs of its youthful customer base, awash in street fashion items, handmade stuff and a host of secondhand items. The market is divided into 21 sections, but the vintage finds are concentrated in sections 5 and 6. Clothing is priced between B200-550, though some rare leather jackets could cost up to B2,000, and secondhand jeans start at B1,000. T-shirts are often sold in bulk for B20 a piece, or B800 for rare rock band t-shirts. There’s also lots of old vinyl here, starting at B500 for the original soundtrack of Grease (1978) while collector’s specials like Woodstock 1969 go for B2,500.
Kampaengpetch Rd., MRT Kapaengpetch, MRT Suan Chatuchak and BTS Suan Chatuchak. Open sat-Sun 11am-7pm.
