Tarragona Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 Carabao's new album has a song about Jatujak Market and claims it as the largest market in the world. Actually, the Thai lyrics say the 'largest weekend market' (with an English backing just saying 'largest market') and I've found that on a few websites too. According to the Guiness records website, the honour of largest open air market goes to the San Jose flea market: 120 acres, over 6000 stallholders. For Jatujak it would seem to be around 35 acres, 15,000 stalls. So, how to define 'the largest market in the world' and is it JJ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meom Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 So, how to define 'the largest market in the world' and is it JJ? Depend what's on sale I suppose. For some Pattaya would be considered a market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No sure if it's the biggest though. Some of our more enlightened members might have an insight on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas_Merton Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 Some of our more enlightened members might have an insight on this. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Enlightened..enlightened? Did I hear my name? Surely the biggest market in the world is China. Sell socks to the chinese army and you'll be as rich as Bill Gates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much comfort takes away the aggressive spirit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a while since I was there, but I would contest that Merkato in Addis Abeba is larger than Jatujak, at any rate. Never been to San Jose.

Oh No! Piece of self-righteous, shrivelled excrement I may be, or even (shsh...) a troll; but I am not that sort of farang! (what an idiot I am, you wrote, "have they started wearing socks, then") Where is that medicine...? Edited April 1, 2005 by Thomas_Merton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
