II: Bangkok - Chatuchak Weekend Market

If you love shopping, you'll surely love CHATUCHAK WEEKEND MARKET. This is the mother of all markets and the best market for me.


Chatuchak is One of Asia's Largest Outdoor Markets with around 15,000 stalls along Phahonyothin Road. It's hot, sticky and crowded but worth of incredible goods. The market offers household items, clothing, Thai handicrafts, religious artifacts collectibles, foods and live animals. Great for browsing and bargaining hunting but you need stamina! I bought hundred pieces of chimes (made of clay with unique designs), nice key chains, polos, blouses and shirts for our store.

Hubby loves the Buddha statues and other carving /sculpture items. We wanted to buy some of it but the shipping cost was more expensive than the product value. So, we just contented ourselves browsing around.



The place is only open on Saturdays and Sundays from 8:00 am until late in the afternoon. Usual precautions; be careful with your bag.
