For those visitors to Pattaya, Thailand, a visit to the Theppasit Market is highly recommended. The Theppasit Market is located on Theppasit Road approximately 400m south of Sukhumvit Road (Highway 3) and is a large market that operates Friday to Sunday evenings from 5pm to 10pm. This is a fixed price market and contains a huge selection of food, clothing and other market accessories at extremely cheap prices.

One can tell that it is good value by the number of Thais that frequent the market each weekend. There is parking available and one can sit and dine before or after their shopping, or purchase food for consumption at home. The sheer volume of food is amazing and there is simply no way that one visit is enough to try everything on offer.

Transport is easily arranged if one is staying in Pattaya. All baht buses and bike taxi operators know this market by name and therefore ease of access is simple and cheap. First, some photos of the food available here, followed by the clothing and other items. In addition to the vast array of food available at the Theppasit Road Market, there is a large fixed price market for clothing, pets and other accessories. Anything one considers may be available is usually available for cheap prices.

Although these market sellers will travel from venue to venue selling the same items, the large majority will sell at this market due to its size and popularity. The prices for items in the Theppasit market are mostly cheaper than markets closer to the tourist areas and therefore it is definitely worth the effort to travel to this market. Another advantage is that this market is operated in the evening hours which provide a cooler environment, especially for western tourists.
