Here to buy clothing in wholesale?
Wholesale clothing buyers, take note! Unlike the more popular Silom night market which caters more towards tourists, Saphan Phut Night Market is geared towards Thai locals. It then goes without saying you could buy the same piece of clothing from both night markets at a different price point.
There are a large number of stalls including various fashionable clothes but the interesting thing about Saphan Phut Night Market is the selection of second-hand items. Plenty of second-hand goods for any age and gender, including shoes, bags, home decor, musical instruments, and of course, clothing and accessories.
While the price of these items are already very affordable, if you buy more than three pieces feel free to start haggling. If you buy even more in bulk for your clothing business then be prepared to put your negotiation skills into practice.
