Weekend Market (Chatuchak) Frommer's Very Highly Recommended

Location Chatuchak Park at Mo Chit BTS

Frommer's Review

Adjacent to the Mo Chit BTS at the northern terminus of the BTS, this vast tract of land is filled with head-spinning numbers of stalls selling everything: souvenirs, art, antiques, fresh and dried seafood, vegetables and condiments, pottery, pets of every sort, orchids and other exotic plants, clothing, and a host of strange exotic foods. A visit here is a great way to introduce yourself to the exotic sights, flavors, and colors of Thai life; and it is the best one-stop shop for all those souvenirs you haven't bought yet. In the hot season, try to get there early in the morning before the heat and leave by early afternoon -- before the downpours. Hint: Hop off the BTS at Saphan Khwai and walk the one stop to the main market area, staying on the left (or west) side of the train. All along here you'll find some great antique and jewelry stalls. It's open on Saturdays and Sundays from 9am to 5pm.
