Weekend Market
I'm off to Bangkok this weekend to visit Jatujak Markets - the world's biggest weekend market. I can't believe I haven't made it here yet. Apparently, it is overwhelming - imagine trawling through approximately 110,000 square metres. The market is divided into 27 sections and there are over 10,000 shops!!

I have only been once. It was great.... but not sure I would head back to Bangkok just to go there again, lol. Obviously I am not a fan of Bangkok.
ReplyDeleteThe market looks fabulous, like a treasure chest filled with wonderful finds!
ReplyDeleteChris, I lived in Bangkok for two years and I used to go to Chatuchak every Saturday morning to buy fruit and veg and ARMFULS of orchids. I bought so many Thai souvenirs there. I've managed to have a couple of stop overs in Bangkok since and always time it to be there on Saturday morning. Always come back to Sydney with a great roll of sheets of pastel rice paper, it travels quite well once it is rolled. Enjoy your visit.
ReplyDeleteBelinda - it is quite an overwhelming place to visit!
ReplyDeletePhyllis - I was good; I only bought one thing (an etching) for my Aunt who loves elephants.
Susie - when you know which places to go, I can imagine it would be great to visit on regular occasions. Did you enjoy living in BKK? My studio is actually at Chatuchak Markets here in Chiang Mai but much, much smaller.
