Chatuchak Weekend Market, also known as the "JJ Market," is one of the largest outdoor markets in the world, located in Bangkok, Thailand. It is open only on weekends, from Friday evening to Sunday evening.
Chatuchak Market covers an area of over 27 acres and features over 15,000 stalls selling a wide range of goods, including clothing, accessories, home decor, furniture, antiques, collectibles, and much more. Visitors can find everything from traditional Thai crafts and textiles to trendy fashion items and souvenirs.
One of the unique features of Chatuchak Market is its organization by sections, each dedicated to a specific type of goods, such as clothing, household items, plants, and pets. This makes it easy for visitors to find what they are looking for and to explore the different sections of the market.
In addition to shopping, Chatuchak Market also offers a variety of street food stalls, offering delicious Thai cuisine, as well as other international foods. Visitors can try traditional Thai dishes, such as green curry and pad Thai, as well as enjoy refreshments like Thai iced tea and mango sticky rice.
Chatuchak Market can get very crowded, especially on weekends, but it is still a must-visit for anyone interested in shopping and experiencing Thai culture. Visitors are advised to wear comfortable clothing, bring plenty of water, and be prepared for the heat, as there is limited shade in the market. To get there, visitors can take the Bangkok Mass Transit System (BTS) Skytrain to Mo Chit Station, which is located just a short walk from the market.
