Bangkok’s Iconic Pratunam Market To Lose Hundreds Of Vendors – Will It Still Be The Same?

by / 2 comments

Pratunam Market

It is no secret that Singaporeans love visiting the capital of Thailand for its glorious street food and of course, their awesome retail therapy destinations. We are certain that pretty much everyone has visited Bangkok’s Pratunam Market – a vibrant open-air bazaar renowned for the sale of fashion accessories and garments at cheap, wholesale prices.

However, the iconic Pratunam Market that most shoppers are familiar with will soon be undergoing a major change. According to Bangkok Metropolitan Administration, 112 of the market’s outdoor vendors would be evicted by 08 March 2016 and subsequently, more stalls will be asked to relocate. This massive shift is necessary to facilitate pedestrian flow.

Pratunam Market’s impending loss of hundreds of vendors is definitely not a subtle change. Will the bazaar remain the same as it was before?

Kitty Burns only opened its doors in Melbourne two months ago, but has already won a strong following in such a short span with its beautiful space and mouthwatering food.

Japanese Kit Kat

The world is crazy about KitKat – not the regular ones in red wrapper that we can get from any parts of the world, but the flavoured ones that are only available in Japan.

These special edition KitKats are spread out all over Japan, and every city has its own flavours. In a rainbow of colours they are, often in very seasonal flavours that is unique to the respective Japanese cities.

We have become collectors in our own rights, and this is our conquer by far. Every time we travel to Japan, and chance upon of these special edition KitKats, we are sure to grab them. From purple sweet potato (Kyushu’s flavour) and red bean (Hokkaido’s flavour) to Rum & Raisin (Tokyo’s flavour) and Wasabi (Shizuoka’s flavour), we love them all.

And we made a great discovery recently. They are actually available somewhere outside of Japan – 15 Japanese-flavoured Kitkats in ONE place. Guess where?
