Chatuchak Market

Chatuchak Weekend Market is the largest of its kind in Thailand and a must-see for any first-time visitor to Bangkok. There is something for everyone in its vastness, including a multitude of affordable fashion booths, arts and craft stalls, furniture retailers and a huge garden supplies section (although we highly recommend skipping the exotic pet zone, which many would like to see closed on ethical grounds). Locals are also attracted to the market for its mouthwatering street food stalls and handful of laid-back bars, which make it the perfect spot to shop ‘til you need to drop in for a reviving drink. Whether you're exploring solo or recommending the market to visiting friends, Chatuchak is a true Thai experience.

Operating from 6pm - midnight on Fri and 10am - 6pm on Sat-Sun, treasures here await. MRT Chatuchak underground and BTS Mo Chit Skytrain stops are the nearest stations to this gem, and you can cut through neighbouring Chatuchak Park for a shorter walk once you get off the train.
