sirineou Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 (edited) As the title implies. Is Chatuchak Market open? Tomorrow we are driving to Bangkok from Khon Kaen to take care of some business. and we are going to stay there for at least a couple of days. Among some other things to I want to do is visit Chatuchak (J J ) market . I have not been there for years. I know it was closed because of covid for a while, is it open yet? and if so is it anywhere near it's former size?

tomazbodner Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 It's open on the weekends, but inside of it, many shops are closed, and there are few shoppers. Nothing like before COVID. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing like before COVID. Do you think it is worth going? We were interesting is some home decoration items , like wood carvings for the walls.

If you're already around... why not. Many shops are still open. But far less than before. And nearly no customers. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkk6060 Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 (edited) I went recently seemed about 25% of what it was. Not sure about home decorations if not, maybe a vendor there can give you the number of someone who had a shop. Just seemed like mostly now clothes and Coconut ice cream.

warrima Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 I was there last saturday as the Mrs was getting vaccinated at Bang Sue. Most of the stores that border or face onto the ring road that's within the market are open. Go inside the bowels of the place though and they are all closed. It was generally very quiet. There is quite a few home decor items in the neighbouring JJ mall on the basement floor. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Gary G Posted December 3, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 3, 2021 My wife’s shop is open ( sect 13 ) and she has lots of home decor items. Kind of close to the clock tower. Yes it’s a lot quieter that years ago with @ 50% of the shops closed. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
