Lang Krasuang and Woeng Nakhon Kasem

For moderately priced, second-hand goods, no other is better than the two markets in Bangkok. The first is Lang Krasuang, which is on Atsadang Road. The other is Woeng Nakhon Kasem, located around some of the smaller alleys off New Road, near China Town. Visitors will get a better bargain if he takes along a Thai friend to haggle over prices! Both markets have goods from pawn shops: musical instruments, electrical goods, uniforms and camping equipment.
