  • Chatuchak Weekend Market. What was that you were looking for? Oh. A snake? Go to chatuchak. A mask for halloween? Go to chatuchak. A floor lamp? Go to chatuchak. A pair of vintage sneakers? Go to chatuchak. You get the picture! They have almost everything there! I am not kidding! There are easily more than 3000 stalls there. And it gets really crowded around 1-2pm, so go early (say around 10plus in the morning). You will be glad you woke up 2 hours earlier - trust me. A word of caution: DO carry / sling your bag in front of you - I have heard of a friend who got her bag slit open and valuables stolen. And of course, another opportunity for you to practice your bargaining skills :) And don't get lost in there!

    Open only on the weekends, the Chatuchak Market is great place to bargain hunt, people watch, and sample really cheap Thai food. Located just south of Chatuchak Park, the market is easily reached by taking the SkyTrain to the end of the line at Mo Chit. The market is massive, with a seemingly never-ending sea of food, souvenir, and clothing stalls (actually there are a mere 8,000 stalls). True enough, in many ways Bangkok’s streets and alleys are a giant market of rotating food, souvenir, and clothing stalls. But every weekend, Chatuchak Market concentrates them all like nowhere else. Even if you aren’t much of a shopper, it will take you the better part of day to fully take in all the sights, sounds, smells, and tastes.

  • I know there are a hundred tips on this market, but you really shouldn't miss it. You can buy pretty much anything there and cheap. We tried to find the area where they have monkeys and crazy stuff for sale, but we kept getting lost. Remember, this place is HUGE. Get a map, decide on a place to meet if you lose your friends, drink lots of water, and keep your eyes on your bags. The police there told us that people are cutting the bags off you and you don't even notice because there are so many people around you. Be careful and happy shopping!

  • The market (with some estimated 9,000/15,000 stalls) is only open at the weekends, Saturday and Sunday from 7am until late. Get there early by around 9am, if not earlier to enjoy a couple of reasonably quiet, and cooler hours. Many of the stalls expect you to bargain (and you should always try) some stalls will not as they use a fixed price system. The majority though are on a negotiate basis and you should normally aim at around 50% of the first price offered. Due to the layout of Chatuchak, if it rains heavily, a lot of the alleys will have rain up to and above your ankles. So leave your good shoes at home.

  • Unless you can't stand crowds (in which case Bangkok isn't a great place to be) you must visit the Chatuchak Weekend Market in Bangkok. Anything and everything is on sale. Illegal, bootleg, blackmarket, used merchandice; clothes, plants, animals, books, antiques, plastics, stamps, furniture, music, seafood, bras, shoes, hammocks, jewelry, on and on...... Open Sat and Sun, 8 am til 6 pm though some vendors may open later, close earlier. Horticulture and farm produce area open all week.

    Chatuchak is a large ground on Phahonyothin Road. You can buy anything ranging from local products including food, clothing, household products, handicrafts, pets, and pit plants. Even a non-shopper like me will go shopping at Chatuchak. It operates on Saturdays and Sundays. From Wednesday to Fridays, the ground becomes a wholesale for various kinds of plants. Chatuchak Weekend Market is closed. You may like to visit MBK or Suan Luam Night Market.

    Chatuchak Weekend Market: Map of Jatujak Market

  • The hard to find map of Jatujak Market. Once you have addresses of shops, it can be quite easy to find. Jatujak has many entrances and exits so it may look different each time. The map gives just a rough idea of what is sold in each Section. But the best is if you allocate ample time to walk through the whole market. This could take 2 days. Everything from furniture to pets are sold here. I was told that they even have baby crocodile. This is the place where even the locals shop. That means the prices aren't too bad. Just remember to bargain as they normally open at a higher price once they know you are tourists. They say it's quite hot in there because of lack of ventilation. Try to go during the cool & dry season from Nov - Mar.
