Save all of you shopping for this place. It is awesome! It is like many Flea Market's here in the states (the San Jose, CA Flea Market comes to mind) However it it HUGE (at least 2 times the size) with smaller booths.

New and Used. Leave a Comment Directions: Simply take the Skytrain to the end terminal called Morchit which is exactly where the market is located.Website: http://www.discoverthailand.com

| | | | Chatuchak Weekend Market: CHATUCHAK-The Biggest One! | Tip Rating: | | | | |
You can visit a lot of markets in Bangkok, but the one you've heard about is the CHATUCHAK Weekend Market. This is it! The MUST of the Thai markets, where everything imaginable is FOR SALE! If you cannot buy it on this market place, you cannot buy it anywhere else. You do need a full day to see just a part of this huge weekend market area. To buy whatever comes in your mind, and to do what anybody does on a market; to beat the crowd and the heat! So bring bottle of water or just make a pit-stop at one of the many food stalls. And best time is to start early in the morning ... We already have been told to buy the thing you want, seeing at the first time. Because you're never gonna find the place back! There are maps available, an information centre, ATM's for cash, ... And the toilets? Sorry, hard to find, filthy, dirty, hot ... Well, what to buy? Let's make a try ... Handmade silks produced by the mountain people, fighing cocks and fighting fishes, fluffy puppies (ooow, I couldn't bear to watch, so many in one box!), crawling snakes, eating bugs, all jeans you've seen downtown, design clothes next to knock-off designer watches and bags, souvenirs-souvenirs-souvenirs! Etc. etc. etc. Leave a Comment Directions: Simply take the Skytrain to the end terminal called Morchit which is exactly where the market is located.Website: %bhttp://www.discoverthailand.com

| | | | Chatuchak Weekend Market: Chatuchak Market, Buy, Eat, Watch. | Tip Rating: | | | | |
Chatuchak market is flipping huge, and its open on Saturdays and Sundays. It gets crowded. it gets crowded because it sells virtaully everything under the sun, with hundreds of individual stall / plot owners setting up their wares to cater for tourists and locals alike. It has clothing, jewelry, houseware, tableware, cutlery, haberdashery, home furnishings, daft stuff, antiques, dried flowers, food, food, bit more food, food again, pets, art works, craftwork, shoes, handbags whacky statues, herbs and spices, silk flowers, orchids and food. Do you get the idea? There is something for the lasses and blokes, and the adolescent. (Not too much for small kids.) People and stall watching is a good shout if you're skint. Be warned: It gets very warm and humid, as the stores are set out under a corrugated roof to keep the rain off in the wet season. So the heat gets held down. A breeze blows through, but if you've been out on the beers the night before be prepared to sweat off a few kilos as you wander about. There is more food and snacking opportunities than you can shake a stick at, mainly in small street side / open air cafes - that mean you have to park your butt on a small plastic stool. So snack and drink plenty to break up your shopping for souvenirs. It does have some tack, yet it also has some very good quality gear too. Look carefully and you will be fine for finding most pressies for the folks back home. In Section Seven (up near the Chatuchak Park entrance) there is a DHL office, a TNT Express and a local Bangkok packer and shipper. They'll box up, insure and send anything you buy in the market overseas at competitive rates. If you want to take photos of the stalls ask the boss lass first. If they are of mature years a polite, "Pee Krab, Dy Mai Krab?" as you point to your camera - means "respected older one, can I?" Usually they're fine with it. Leave a Comment Directions: Take the Skytrain to the end terminal called Morchit. Or get a taxi and tell him "Tar Lay Chat Doo Chat". (You won't get your stuff on the BTS without a mare - get a taxi home.) Or drive yourself, go insane, and park at nearby Chatuchak Park.
