Chatuchak Market
Chatuchak (or Jatujak) weekend market in Bangkok is the largest
market in Thailand, and quite possibly the world. It covers over 35
acres (142,000 m²) and contains upwards of 15000 stalls. It is
estimated that the market receives between 200,000 and 300,000
visitors each day. Most stalls are only open on Saturdays and
Sundays.
The market offers a wide variety of products including household
items, clothing, Thai handicrafts, religious artifacts,
collectibles, foods, and live animals.
Chatuchak market is adjacent to the Kamphaengphet station of the
Bangkok Metro, or about a 5-minute walk from the Mo Chit Skytrain
(BTS) station.
Chatuchak market received its name from Chatuchak Park, a public
park which is situated just next to the market.
