Had heard a lot about this market and the expectations were high. But was majorly disappointed! The Market can be reached through the BTS Skytrain system (Mo Chit Station) and is at a 5 minute walk from the Station. Yes, the Market is Huge, with thousands of shops and mini-shops, but since its in the open, the weather takes its... More

Make sure you are in Bangkok over a weekend so you can visit this impressive and huge market, where you can buy anything from cool fashions to household design goods or even live animals. For bangkok fashions I love this place. Stop in any of the street side cafes for some noodles to keep you going, it will take all... More

It is so easy to get here by MRT and stop at Kamphaeng Phet Station. From there you suddenly emerged at the market entrance. The market is huge selling a lot of things at a good price. It's a great place to buy souvenirs here. The price is much cheaper here. You can also bargain the price. It is also... More

What can I say? I've just got back form an exhausting but onteresting shopping trip. The market is huge. Easily accessible from Mo Chit BTS station. When you get out just take the exit to the market and follow the crowd. Take a map from the friendly police station so you can go straight to what you want. Each area... More

I honestly think that this market, one should only go ONCE in a lifetime UNLESS ur out to make business and to get wholesale prices. If you're just a tourist and just looking around, once is definitely enough. Chatuchak is overcrowded and hot! Make sure you bring comfortable shoes and a backpack for shopping and a fan! Make sure you... More

Chatuchak is only open weekends so it's always packed, hot and sticky..it's popular with tourists and locals so expect to be squashed in the narrow aisles as everyone shops there. Well worth the visit but overwhelming - great for jeans, cutlery, accessories, clothes..you can even buy a new pet! Literally everything you can name is somewhere amongst the stalls..not for... More
