Chatuchak Weekend Market
Though there are many markets throughout Bangkok, Chatuchak Weekend Market is still pretty much the undisputed king of them all. The scale of it is pretty unbelievable - it covers an area of 70 rai (35 acres), contains more than 15,000 shops and stalls, has over 200,000 visitors each day. The range of products on sale is extensive and includes household accessories, handicrafts, religious artifacts, art, antiques, live animals, books, music, clothes, food, plants flowers and etc. The published opening hours for the market are from 09:00am to 18:OOpm on Saturday and Sunday. Chatuchak is also open on Friday as a market for wholesalers, but there is no problem doing normal shopping on this day either (same opening times). The Garden Plants section is also open on Wednesday and Thursday from 07:OOam to 18:OOpm. Chatuchak always gets very hot and humid during the day, and it's far from the most comfortable shopping experience but for most people the benefits outweigh the disadvantages. Going early in the day when it is a bit cooler is recommended. BTS : Mor Chit Station
