The Chatuchak Market, in Bangkok,  has more than 8,000 sales stalls. At a weekend it usually has more than 100,000 visitors. In this market there is everything for sale, although not always at the best prices, yet it is well worth visiting.

This market is a world in which you will only make good deals if you are well prepared to bargain over prices. This is because, having become a tourist attraction, it has seen its average prices inflated, comparing with prices of the same products in other places, not so popular.

If you are planning to pass by through Chiang Mai, you should save a good part of the budget for gifts and souvenirs, because in the capital of Northern Thailand you will find much better deals.

How to get there to Chatuchak Market?

– Take the Skytrain to Mo Chit Staition, exit at Exit nr.º 1 and follow the crowd until you find the first stalls. After that you have to turn right.  Then   you will see the entrance that leads to the market.
– You can also go by underground train. Take it to Chatuchak Park metro station,  get off at exit nr.1. Once again, follow the crowd until you see the entrance to the market.
