Bangkok is a tourist destination which is an undisputed shopper's paradise. 

While the city may seem like a complicated web of crowded streets and colourful alleys, you will soon find that locating the favourite shopping zones and popular attractions is quite an easy task as efficient modes of transport are always close at hand.

Often considered the largest and most frequented market place in Bangkok, the Chatuchak Weekend Market is arguably one of the best places to shop in this sprawling city. This colourful bazaar located in the heart of Chatuchak covers an estimated 35 acres of land and attracts thousands of visitors every weekend who visit in search of the best deals and discounts.

Open Saturdays and Sundays

Although the market remains open only on Saturdays and Sundays it generates thousands of Baht on a weekly basis, making it one of the most profitable venues in Bangkok's economy. Although the market has been functional every weekend for well over two decades, it has certainly not lost its charm or its ability to draw customers both local and foreign. 

1500 shops and boutiques

Chatuchak Weekend Market is essentially divided into 27 sections where you will come across over 1500 separate shops and boutiques selling everything from the latest electronic gadgets to fine local clothing at bargain prices.  Visitors can also purchase collectibles from the market and snack on local delicacies while exploring the fascinating nooks and corners of this venue.
