    There isnt one shop I can recommend...go to as many as your little feet can take you to! In all of our travels thru, vietnam, thailand, cambodia, this place had the best prices! For clothes, and gifts to bring home...The best deals I found were on their backpacks...I got a HUGE one, okay maybe it was too huge, I ended up buying another one later...but besides that I got it for 1000 baht, it would of cost way over hundred anywhere else , like back home in the states! Be sure to bargain hard, you can usually get the price down to 1/3- or 1/2 of what they start with!

    Clothes, gifts, backpacks.

    Depends on the item...Bargain!!!

    This weekend market only fully open at abt 9.30am-10am. U can take a meter taxi to there. This market selling alot of goods for Young-Old ppl. u can find alot of goods to buys. make sure u bring more $$. for those lady whose planning to buy clothes, make sure u r wearing sleaveless shirt coz there have no fitting for you to try. Even some of the store not allow u to try. For your tips when u seen a nice stuffs, try to negotiate with them and buy it. When u get out from the shop, U cant get back the same shop to buy. Because this place is big and u find that all the way is almost the same.

    Chatuchak Weekend Market: Cheap Bargains

  • This is a popular place for locals and tourists so be prepared to fight your way through the human jam if you intend to go anytime after 11am. However, if you don't mind the squeeze, heat and the sweat, there are a lot of bargains to be found (you can still haggle a little if you're buying in bulk) for simple home furnishings, aroma candles, street fashion, shoes, handbags, decorative items, food, and many other items. Best time is to get there before 10am and get out before noon.

    Chatuchak Weekend Market: Huge market

  • This is probably the biggest market on earth. It's very huge and you can get lost inside. Come early when the weather is still cool because it becomes hot and stuffy in the evening. (It's open only on weekends)

    You can get almost anything here for a bargain and bargain hard you should! Bargain hard! The price here is cheap and cheaper than what you can get anywhere else in Bangkok.

    Get T-shirts, antiques, books, groceries, scarfs, flowers, lingerie, flowers, hardware, handbags, souvenirs, carpets, pets... the list is endless. You can spend the whole day here (if you can bear the heat later in the evening). Just roam through the small alleys and lanes.

    If you are tired, just take a rest and have a nice meal at the many local food stalls.

    Chatuchak....Who doesnt know Chatuchak? well i guess most of the shopaholics and fashionistas out there know where and what is chatuchak weekend market.

    A huge open air market opened only during weekend. it caters to almost anything and everythign you can think of. bags, furnitures, shoes, clothes, souvenirs, pets, food etc etc.

    most of the goods that they sell here are unique...you cannot find on other whole sale market.

    Just have an eye for those nice and unique pieces :-)

    Just one piece of advise..if you see something that you like, bargain..if you agreed on the price dont ever think twice and tell yoursel that i will just go back afterwards. worst scenario is that, you wont find the stall again :-)

    So bargain and purchase!

    Btw, dot forget to bring a hat or umbrella, eyeglasses and bottled water with you. Also, dont miss your sunscreen for a freckles and wrinkle free shopping!

    It would be no exaggeration to say that hardly anyone especially in Bangkok doesn't know Chatuchak Market. This is THE weekend market to be in, selling practically everything under the sun, from the smallest nails, to foods, trendy fashions, antiques intricate wooden carvings, masks from far-off lands, adorable fluffy dogs, colorful fish of every hue and singing birds. You can find all this and more at Chatuchak market. There are almost 9,000 individual booths overflowing with every imaginable type of wares to catch your fancy. Once inside the market, you will be caught up in a world of bursting crowds and stalls stretching as far as the eye can see.

    So are you ready to shop? Just put on your most comfy shoes, light weight clothes and let's sweat it out at Chatuchak Market. It's going to be a hot, fun and exciting shopping. Opens only on Saturdays and Sundays.

    My favourite are the home decor shops. Before you go to Chatuchak market, go to a big bookshop and buy the map of Chatuchak Market which will tell you where to go and what to buy. Otherwise, you'll get lost which is half the fun as well.

    By the time you're done, you'll need an extra bag to carry all your stuff and a taxi to take you back to your hotel :-)

    The real charm of the Chatuchak Mattel lies in the fact that you can-and should-bargain with each stall you are interested in. Whether you will snare a bargain or not is a test of your own negotiating skills. So, don' t be surprised if the same goods bought by you and your friends from the same shop carry different prices.
