Start early evening and shop til you drop! Beachwear, sportswear, souvenirs can be bought from street stalls, little shops and noisy night markets. Patong also has specialist jewellry, ethnic crafts, art and antiques shops, waiting for the dedicated bargain hunter.
On the streets you'll find brightly-lit stalls as far as the eye can see. The night market - located along the main Beach road, offers handicrafts, silk scarves, sarongs, beach and leisure wear, leather goods and luggage, CD's, computer games, electronic gadgets and toys. Open every night.
It's always a good idea to check around with other vendors and stores to make sure of the price range for whatever you are buying. The Tourist Authority of Thailand warns against following up shopping recommendations from touting taxi drivers and tour guides who receive commissions for bringing tourists to places to shop. Often the experience is a waste of your valuable shopping time.
For the best results - bargain with a smile and good humour!
Be aware that it is forbidden to take images of Buddha, deities, and some antique artifacts from the country without first obtaining approval from the Fine Arts Department in Bangkok.
If your antique artifact or Buddha image is sold with a certificate of authenticity, you will need to apply for permission to export. Your average artifact however is more than likely to be a replica - the like of which you see available in street stalls and shops all over the country, and which you can take out of the country.
