Introduction: The Best Shopping Frommer

Chatuchak Weekend Market (Bangkok): A tourist attraction in its own right, Thailand's largest market is a never-ending village of bargains -- from fighting cocks to clothing, tools, antiques, and so much more. Don't get lost (you will).

Suan Lum Night Market (Bangkok): Newly set-up near Lumpini (and soon a stop on the subway), the Suan Lum Night Market is a better choice, especially with the kids, than a visit to the crazy night market in the red-light area of Patpong. At Suan Lum, you can find similar goods to those at the Weekend Market as well as some newer high-end shops.

Night Bazaar (Chiang Mai): Tribal crafts and locally produced items line Chang Klan Road and the giant market building -- find bags, clothes, jewelry, and trinkets plus cheap knockoffs. Don't forget to bargain.

Sankamphaeng Road (Chiang Mai): This 9km (5 1/2-mile) stretch of highway is home to shops, showrooms, and factories with Thailand's best handicrafts -- bronze and silver, furniture, ceramics, antiques, umbrellas, silks and cottons, and paper goods.
