If you are into buying then Chatuchak Market will possibly be one of the perfect shopping experiences you have ever had. However, it didn’t used to be like that. Not so long ago, Chatuchak was highly disordered. The roads running around the market were filled with slow moving traffic and shopping was fully hit and miss – you never knew where anything was, and it was plainly a matter of diving into a stall, seeing what they had, and diving out again. At present, stuffs are improve. The traffic has gone – there’s a vast car parking-lot at the back it’s pedestrians solely. The stalls are organized into zones, and you can get a map to show you where you need to go. The one thing that hasn’t changed is the bargains. Chatuchak offers everything from live animals to antiques. If you wanted to conceal the complete market, it could take you days. If it’s hot, cease at the regular stalls selling beverages and buy something – the last thing you want is to start feeling dehydrated in the middle of such a mass of humanity! Expect to spend a minimum of half a day at the market – planning for a full day might be better. This is absolutely good a drop in and you should attempt and build it into your tour. Possibly one of the biggest markets in the world.
Note : A taxi fare from the center of Bangkok will cost around 80-100 Baht.
