5 Recommended Spots in Silom for Buying Everyday Clothes in Bulk

Bangkok has transformed into a full-fledged shopping city, with large shopping malls opening one after another. From high-end brand stores to casual fashion labels, you can find just about everything here. In this article, we introduce apparel shops where you can enjoy shopping for everyday clothes at reasonable prices.

1. Central

Located in the heart of Silom's entertainment district and directly connected to Sala Daeng Station, "Silom Complex" is a shopping mall that houses the department store Central. Thanks to its convenient location, it features many essential shops such as supermarkets and drugstores, making it an indispensable part of daily life for Silom locals.
There are, of course, many clothing stores as well. Rather than featuring high-end brand names, most of the shops have the feel of local, casual fashion boutiques. Bangkok’s affordable clothing—especially women’s wear—is stylish and can be worn in Japan without any issue. Be sure to look for pieces that suit your taste!

2. Bangkok Fashion Outlet

Outlet malls are popular in Japan, and Bangkok is home to several large ones as well. The Bangkok Fashion Outlet located on Silom Road is especially known for its size. With over 500 brand stores, many of which are familiar to Japanese shoppers, it's a great place not only for souvenir shopping but also for stocking up on clothes for personal use.
It’s within walking distance from the Surasak Station on the Silom Line (Skytrain), making it an easy stop for shoppers. If you love shopping, consider setting aside some time during the day to hunt for bargains.

3. Anita Thai Silk

Thailand is famous for its silk, with a wide variety of silk clothing and home decor items available. While Jim Thompson is the most renowned silk brand, Anita Thai Silk enjoys comparable popularity. The shop is located across Silom Road after exiting Sala Daeng Station on the Skytrain.
You can order high-quality silk garments here at more affordable prices than Jim Thompson. Since custom orders require a few days, it’s ideal to place your order at the beginning of your trip and pick it up before heading home.

4. Patpong Night Bazaar

Patpong Street, the most bustling area in Silom, is not just lined with bars on both sides. At nightfall, street vendors set up for the Night Bazaar, which is also a well-known attraction. Most of the items sold here are souvenirs aimed at tourists, and clothing is plentiful.
Expect to find souvenir-style items, such as T-shirts printed with famous Thai landmarks or flashy resort-wear suited for tropical getaways. While it may be challenging to find items suitable for daily wear back in Japan, you might discover some well-designed gems. Or, you could go all-in and buy some quirky outfits as memorable souvenirs!

5. Asiatique The Riverfront

Asiatique is a new attraction at the end of Silom Road. You’ll recognize it by its iconic Ferris wheel. Go all the way down Silom Road to the Chao Phraya River, get off at Saphan Taksin Station on the Skytrain, and you’ll find a boat heading directly to Asiatique. This upscale waterfront shopping mall is reminiscent of Odaiba or Ikspiari in Maihama, Japan.
Here you'll find many clothing and variety stores, as well as cafes. It doesn’t have the bustling or mysterious vibe of the Patpong Night Bazaar, but it's a great place to relax—especially for those not yet used to chaotic streets or who dislike aggressive touts.

◎Summary

What do you think? Silom is a quintessential Bangkok district, filled with traditional street stalls and beloved old department stores frequented by locals. The clothing here leans more toward practical and affordable options rather than designer brands, making it easier to buy and bring back as souvenirs. Blend in with the locals and enjoy a leisurely treasure hunt for unique finds.
