Thailand Explore Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Thailand is home to a lot of world beaters from it’s food, beaches and to its markets. I had heard a lot about Chatuchak market in Bangkok but always resisted the visit as I am not a big one for shopping. However my wife has always wanted to go so I finally gave in and decided to go. I knew it was big, but not as big as it actually was. It was huge and actually some of the stalls offered far more than your regular market offering.

fruitman Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Wow! You're so adventurous mate! Why didn't you go into the small alleys? The ones with the snakes are the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantomfiddler Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Last time I was there they were flogging anacondas (and they WERE anacondas !) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orton Rd Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Last time I went in 2008, Buddha statues, even after bargaining were cheaper on Sukhumvit road stalls. Hotspot for pickpockets, horrible place. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure you didn't get off at the wrong BTS stop and were in Patpong instead ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfd101 Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 The dozen or more times I've been there over the years (usually escorting visiting friends from Oz) it has ALWAYS been swelteringly hot. Glad to escape after 20 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to escape after 20 minutes Luckily, JJ mall and the brand new MIXT mall are only a few steps away.. With much of the same stuff for sale but with air conditioning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotchilli Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 Knowing what Thai markets are like, going to the worlds largest one is not my idea of a fun day out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumarianson Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 The largest least frequented market in the world as I was there last weekend. No tourists no market, soon will close like lots of small businesses. The NWO plan is working like a treat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
