Pratunam Market

Pratunam Market

**Pratunam Market** ([Thai](/source/Thai_language): ประตูน้ำ) is one of [Bangkok](/source/Bangkok)'s major markets, and is [Thailand](/source/Thailand)'s largest clothing market. The name *Pratunam* means 'water gate'.[1]

## Overview

The market includes retail stores and outdoor stalls, the latter aimed at tourists. It is at the intersection of Ratchaprarop and Phetburi Roads in the [Ratchathewi District](/source/Ratchathewi_District).[2] This is may be the cheapest market for buying clothing, [3], fabrics, and textiles in central Bangkok, while the [Chatuchak Weekend Market](/source/Chatuchak_Weekend_Market) probably is the low price leader. Other merchandise includes [watches](/source/Watches), [handicrafts](/source/Handicraft), and more.[4][5]

The Pratunam Market covers the whole area around and behind the Amari Watergate and Indra Regent Hotels with the rainbow-colored Baiyoke I hotel and the towering [Baiyoke Tower II](/source/Baiyoke_Tower_II) hotels inside it.[6]
