Thepprasit Night Market

This guide to Thepprasit Night Market in Pattaya opens in 1999, when a handful of folding-table stalls first set up on a patch of land south of the city center. It follows how weekend vendors and their children grew that modest start into one of Thailand's largest weekend markets, and traces the sounds and smells that fill its aisles as evening falls. Bring cash — most stalls won't take a QR code.
