Khlong Thom Market (Khlong Thom Center)

Khlong Thom is a large electronics and hardware wholesale district on Worachak Road in Pom Prap Sattru Phai, central Bangkok. The Khlong Thom Center complex and surrounding lanes host more than five hundred shops according to its operator, a figure worth verifying, mixing permanent stores, repair workshops and a weekend market. Long known as Bangkok's biggest cheap electronics and spare-parts market, it trades both wholesale and retail and supplies the city's repair trade and small retailers.

The district deals in mobile phones and accessories, car and motorcycle parts, power tools, electrical supplies and second-hand instruments, trading wholesale and retail with flexible minimum orders for repeat buyers. Its customers include Bangkok repair shops, small electronics stores and second-hand traders. For Chinese exporters of hardware tools, consumer electronics and auto parts, it is a typical market for studying Bangkok's repair and parts distribution channels.
