Chatuchak Weekend Market

Chatuchak Weekend Market is the biggest big market in Bangkok, where anything that is open only on weekends, 2 days is available.

Originally it was a regular city which was held every weekend at the Grand Palace square, but due to circumstances such as traffic jam, I moved to the present place.

Around 10 million square meters of vast railway owned property, 15000 or more small shops are closely aligned and everything such as fashion goods, pottery, spa goods, garden plant, pet etc are sold from Thailand miscellaneous goods.

It is a huge market that you can buy cheaply anything from a general shop, even if you have 1 days, you can not turn around all.

People who visit here for the first time easily tend to lose their sense of direction in making like a maze, so pick a map and turn on the star in the place you want to see and turn around efficiently.

The opening hours depend on the store, but generally it is around 9 time to 18 time. Shops closing around 17 time will also begin to appear.

Planting trees and interior shops are open except for weekends.

When using "BTS mochit station", the road from the station to the weekend market is crowded and it is difficult to walk, so it is convenient to use "MRT Gumpene Pet Station" which goes directly into the market site.

There is also a free toilet at the station.

As some people get sick with crowds and harsh heat, please refresh the water frequently and take measures against heat stroke.

We recommend taking a reasonable break and eating it by buying juice or fruit sold in the market.

It is tiring to walk around in hot weather, and it is hard to get back to the same place in the crowd, so if you have something to worry about, get it.

After finding the item you want, I will negotiate a discount using a calculator. Let's negotiate at the price of about the discount of 4 ~ 5 at the beginning for the first time.

I will negotiate while looking at the situation not to be rude to the other party.

Although there are shops that do not discount, there is also a case where you buy 200 ~ 100B as a result of negotiations, gradually increasing the price while watching the other party's item saying 150B's item is 170B.

Originally with cheap price it may be good to ask 10 ~ 20B discount.

The toilet is set as much as 8 place in the weekend market.

It can be used 1 times 5B times.

※ There are beautiful free toilets at "MRT Gumpene Pet Station" and "MRT Chatuchak Park Station".

The clock tower in the center of the premises is ideal for meeting spots. It is good to decide on a meeting place for when you got stuck.

Also, when you do not know the direction in the market, you can also use it to get out and grasp the current position.

"JJ Mall", a large building on the north side of the weekend market, is a large-scale air-conditioned shopping center.

It is built aiming at the Chatuchak market every day of the year, and the assortment is the same as the miscellaneous goods of the Chatuchak Weekend Market, which is somewhat cheap.

When you want to buy souvenirs like Thailand, you can see the calm stalls, benjarong grill, interior goods etc. in a convenient shopping center.

Since we are open on weekdays, people who can not afford the weekend should go there only here.

Opposite Chatuchak Weekend Market, a luxury market of fresh foods managed by Thai agricultural cooperatives.

The ingredients of the auto-cook market are highly safe, such as non-agricultural chemicals, handling luxury goods different from general markets and supermarkets, locals visit shopping for gifts and other items.

There is a food court in the market, and fruits etc can be eaten easily, so it is a place to stop by when visiting Chatuchak · Weekend Market.
