subject: Chatuchak Weekend Market- An Experience! [print this page] Its no secret that Bangkok is dotted with tourist attractions, fascinating temples and various shopping options but there is one other reason to travel to Bangkok that deserves more credit than it receives. Although Thai cuisine or at least some of the most popular Thai dishes are quite popular around the world theres simply nothing like sampling a mouthwatering seafood curry or a dish of golden grilled chicken with sticky rice at a local restaurant. Kai Thawt Jay Kii is the place to go if youre in the mood for some scintillating fried chicken while Baan Suan Pai is a great place where vegetarians will be offered a splendid menu that is truly remarkable. Kalong Home Kitchen is one of the best restaurants in town where you can have some great seafood along with a cool glass of beer which is a great way to relax after traveling the busy streets of Bangkok.
The Chatuchak Weekend Market was officially opened in 1982 and is one of the busiest and largest shopping destinations located in Bangkok, Thailand. It would be fair to say that you can buy almost anything at this market where literally thousands of local and foreign customers flock in during the weekend. The total area of the market spans across 35 acres and is known to house over 15,000 stalls selling everything from plants, antiques, pets, ceramics, collectibles, clothes, footwear, books and even food. Visitors looking for fresh produce and fruits are also in luck as several produce vendors can also be spotted at the market. While bargaining is expected by the vendors the prices quoted for various products are usually higher than what they are actually worth. The atmosphere on a Saturday evening at the market is simply astounding as the stalls are crowded with customers and bargaining battles spring up in unexpected corners.
