TRAVEL | Chatuchak Weekend Market

The Chatuchak market is the larget market in Thailand and possibly the largest in the world! It is probably no joke to say that this market sells practically everything under the sun, from the smallest nails, to foods, trendy fashions, antiques intricate wooden carvings, masks from far-off lands, adorable fluffy dogs, colorful fish of every hue and singing birds.

With about 200,000 to 300,000 visitors to the market each day, visitors must be prepared to be crowded in the narrow passageways lined with merchandise with no air-conditioning. Beware of extreme claustrophobia while inside, so I suggest we go really early in the morning!

Cute puppies, gold fish! You can find almost anything at the world's biggest flea market







Near the Chatuchak market is the Elephant Building, one of the most famous buildings in Bangkok.
