Sampeng Market is one of the best destinations to buy products at wholesale rate in Bangkok. Sampeng Market, located at Sampeng lane in Chinatown is a great attraction for tourists and locals in Bangkok.

The region comes under Samphanthawong District, known as a home to Chinese community in Bangkok. Chinatown is slowly expanding and now includes a large area around Yaowarat and Charoen Krung Road. Sampheng Lane is a narrow road that runs parallel to Yaowarat and bisects the commercial areas of Chinatown and Phahurat.  This is a great area to buy lots of supplies and crafts to design your own product to sell!

Sampeng or Sampheng Market is crowded most of the times. Sometimes, it becomes hard for visitors to pass through the lane to reach their desired shops. It may appear as if you are on an adventurous tour with all the people around the Market. Due to a large variety of shops, it is interesting to visit different stores and buy products of one’s choice. The Sampeng Market is flooded with all kinds of items that you need in your daily life.  You will find pens, stickers, hair accessories, shoes, clothes, flashing knick-knacks, gems, jewelries and household items at a wholesale price.

If you are good at bargaining, you can buy products at a much cheaper price and many retail shopkeepers visit this market to maintain their product stock. If you are feeling hungry, you can pass on to the side-way food stalls and restaurants. The food stalls serve a large number of mouthwatering dishes mostly of Chinese origin. Another shopping destination nearby is Terminal 21, a beautiful shopping mall. In the surrounding region, you can find many Chinese shrines where you can offer prayers to your god.
