    Shopping for fabric and supplies in Bangkok 

    Sampeng Lane in Chinatown is the best place to buy 100% cotton fabric at good prices. If you buy 10 meters or more, you get the wholesale price. It can be 1 meter of 10 different fabrics. Minimum cut, 1 meter. No bargaining, because it’s not a tourist place, it’s a wholesale place. Prices range from 3 meters for 100 baht ($1 per yard) up to 250 baht per meter (about $8 per yard). You’ll find Fabric Center in addition to many other shops, see Sampeng Lane Map. Opening hours are from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm.

    The following stores in Bangkok sell 100% cotton fabric. These are all branches of one company, and if you buy more than 2500 baht you get a 10% discount.

    Fabric from Sampeng Lane

    fabric from Fabric Center, Sampeng Lane

    Fabric House: ground floor Central City, Bang Na, Bangkok tel. 02-361-0570

    Fabric House: Central World 2nd floor near Isetan, tel. (662) 255-6152

    Fabric House: ground floor Seacon Square, Srinakarin Rd., Bangkok tel. 02-721-8709

    Fabric Fashion: 1st floor The Mall 3, Ramkamhaeng, Bangkok tel. 02-310-1020

    Fabric Center: 277 Sampeng Lane, tel. 02-222-2460

    Tang hua seng is a department store with two branches: one across the river in Thonburi and one on Khao San Road. They sell fabric, fat quarters, batting (white or black), thread, rotary cutters and blades, and craft supplies. I noticed ‘sa’ paper, burlap, terrycloth, and velcro in pink, red, green, black and white up to 4″ wide. Tang Hua Seng is on Nancy Chandler’s Map of Bangkok


    Rotary cutters, blades and cutting mats are available at JCC stationery store on Narathiwat Road in the Silom area (business district).
    And some small shops:

    PINN SHOP mostly crafts and some quilting accessories, 500 shops nationwide including PINN Counter in The Emporium’s Stationery Section and one in Siam Paragon’s Handicraft Section. They have fusible web.

    Pretty Quilt Shop in the Oasis shopping center, next to the entrance for the Nichada Thani neighborhood on Samakee Road in Nonthaburi

      Where can I buy felt? I wanted to make Chirstmas stockings for my children but didn’t know where to get them but didn’t want to go all the way to CHina town just for that. I live in Minburi so if anyone knows a place close to MInburi, that would be good. Id prefer not to go down town if possible. If anyone knows of a shop at Bangna that would also be fine because I am planning to go there.

From the BTS take exit 4 walk down Narathiwat Rd and it is on your right before the end of the road – the road ends in a T with Surawong. They have rotary cutters and wholesale boxes of blades. Other than that there is Pinn Shop which is located in most malls.

        Hi Kandice,
        In Thailand mailing is not very common. Moreover, most of retailers can’t speak nor write in English.
        My advise is you to come over or ask someone in place to do the “shopping” for you.

        Also it is possible to search for an intermediate in town who knows how to deal with the retailers and get a better price.

        Traffic is bad during morning and evening rush hour. Around 4:00 pm traffic in the city starts to get jammed. Noon should be good as to traffic. It is safe to travel alone with a baby. I suggest going to Chinaworld mall in Pahurat, used to be Central Wangburapa. It’s air conditioned, has a food court and restrooms, and it has all the fabric a quilter or crafter would ever need. You could easily spend a day there. The shops at Chinaworld moved from Sampeng Lane, so they are authentic wholesale fabric shops. Must see – Kimono house floor 1 near elevator for fabric. Nearby you can walk over to Sampeng Lane but it is difficult to maneuver with a baby – you could not take a stroller on the walking lane with people pushing and shoving and motorcycles going through. Have a nice shopping trip with bb!

    Wongwian Yai Specialty Shops 

    Wongwian Yai (meaning ‘Big Circle’ in Thai) is a roundabout in Thonburi, the old capital of Thailand. Wongwian Yai used to be a major business center before Bangkok became the capital. Nearby Charoenrat Road is famous as the center of leather goods shops in Thailand. There are specialty shops with supplies for shoe-making and purse-making. This area is just over the river from Bangkok across the Taksin Bridge (Sathorn Bridge). If you walk out exit 3 from the Wongwian Yai skytrain station and head down Soi Krung Thon Buri 1 also known as Soi Salapi, you’ll see the leather shops.

    The shops have awls, wooden yardsticks, wax, die-cut tools, mallets, silver pens for writing on leather, vinyl, canvas, zippers by the roll, purse handles, chains, snaps, buckles and of course leather.

    There is a shop called Laser Gallery which will laser-cut material such as leather, acrylic, wood, cloth, and plastic. You can bring acrylic sheets not more than 3 mm thick and they will cut it in shapes to your specifications. Open 8:00 am to 6:00 pm Monday through Saturday. This might be the only place around where you can buy a fish skin made into leather.

    After walking down Soi Salapi, turn right on Charoenrat Road and there are fabric shops selling sequin covered fabric which would make a very nice dressy evening gown or dance apparel, such as Pravitrungroj. Also lots of purse handles including wooden and leather ones. Well worth a trip. There were a few tourists too! Open Monday through Saturday 8:30 am to 7:00 pm.
