Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, is known as a shopaholic's paradise. Apart from luxurious modern shopping centers, Bangkok also has traditional markets that offer a variety of unique and cheap goods. One of the largest traditional markets in Bangkok is The Chatuchak Weekend Market. With more than 15,000 stalls, this market is a great place to explore Thailand's rich culture and hunt for rare items.
Chatuchak Weekend Market, also known as JJ Market, was first opened in 1942 as a government-owned second-hand goods market. However, this market has grown rapidly to become the largest market in Thailand and a popular place for tourists looking for an authentic shopping experience. This market is open only on weekends, namely Saturday and Sunday, from 9 am to 6 pm.
Chatuchak Weekend Market offers a variety of products, from clothing, accessories, furniture, to food and drinks. There are more than 27 sectors that sell different products, such as books, pets, handicrafts, plants, and others. Apart from that, there is also a special area that offers typical Thai food and drinks, such as Som Tum, Pad Thai, and Mango Sticky Rice.
Chatuchak Weekend Market is a great place for tourists who want to experience authentic shopping in Bangkok. With more than 15,000 stalls offering a variety of products, tourists can explore Thailand's rich culture and hunt for rare items. However, tourists should pay attention to animal welfare and pet import regulations before deciding to buy a pet at this market. Don't forget to negotiate the price of the items you want to buy and bring sufficient cash.
