One of Bangkok’s most well known markets, the Chatuchak Market which is held on the weekends offers an unforgettable shopping experience for even the most experienced of shopaholic! Before heading over to the market make sure you find Bangkok serviced apartments that make for an ideal base for your shopping excursions. Anantara Baan Rajprasong Bangkok is one such option and offers Sukhumvit accommodation that is well suited for business and leisure travellers alike.
The popular Chatuchak Weekend Market begins on Friday (6 pm to 12 midnight) and continues through Saturday and Sunday (9 am to 6 pm). First time visitors can be easily overwhelmed by the sheer scale and variety on offer here; featuring over 8,000 stalls, it is safe to say that you will be spoilt for choice. The market atmosphere is lively to say the least with thousands of locals and foreigners thronging the streets in search of bargains. Clothing, designer wear, accessories, furniture, antiques, books, art, handicrafts and even pets can be found here. Part of the fun is getting “lost” amidst the streets as you search for hidden treasures and practice and perfect your bargain skills too!
