In this coming vlog, chatuchak weekend market The ultimate shopping
experience in Thailand Prices and quality.
What’s app fellas welcome back again in to another vlog from Live Love Thailand,
We just arrived to Mochit BTS station and heading to chatuchak weekend
market one of the biggest weekend markets in Thailand.
And as you see it is crowded with tourists and locals starting from the bridge, all
Heading to chatuchak weekend market.
It’s a rainy day and people are trying to enter from the 1st entrance to the
market, seems an impossible mission, so we will continue walking to the main
gate to avoid that traffic.
There are many shops outside the market along the way selling different kind
of stuffs with Very cheap prices
so we are now at the main entrance of the market and we will continue directly from here to enter the narrow passages of
chatuchak weekend market where the local fun of shopping begins.
But before we start our shopping we will have some cold refreshments to avoid
Dehydration due the heat of the day.
Now we are going to enter one of the narrow passages that leads us inside
Chatucak market
Here begins the real fun of shopping, where the passage becomes narrow Crowded with shoppers and you can nearly walk
and shop but as I said that’s the Fun part of shopping here.
As you see some items are priced here and others not the ones priced are
almost final Prices so only if you buy in bulk you will get discounts, while
the ones not priced Are usually to bargain so take that into consideration.
Due to my experience in this market if you see something and you like it, well buy
It Because if you want to walk away and change your mind and come back to
buy it You can hardly find it because if it’s your first time in the market you
will totally Get lost.
Here is a shop that sells that famous fruit shapes of thai soaps they are
Very popular and you can buy them cheap in this market rather than any other
Place.
Well you will have a map at the beginning of the market to navigate according to
It, but it’s hardly applicable because in a way or another you will get lost .
Concerning the prices in this market they are of course cheaper than the main
Touristic areas of Bangkok, and you have a big variety of things even pets are
Sold in this market.
Concerning the quality of the items in chatuchak market, well mostly made in
Thailand and Asian countries, they are considered good since you are buying
Decorative and clothing stuff nothing to worry they are not electronics.
As you see as much as you go deep inside it becomes more crowded, and walking
Will become hard but this is chatucak market and it’s a nice experience to have.
The zone we are walking is mostly decorative stuff and clothing’s you have a big
Section of bag selling shops and Thai decorative items
In my opinion if you are not in to anything special to buy, just walk around and
Turn right or left walk forward where ever you like and shop whatever you like,
Since shopping by zones in nearly impossible.
Chatuchak weekend market only opens in weekends ,from early hours till late , so
If you are lucky to be in Bangkok don’t miss this hopping experience since it
Totally different from any other local market in Thailand.
Many of the sold items here are also found in other mall in Bangkok like
MBK mall Or platinum fashion mall but of course with much more
higher prices since you are In air-conditioned mall easy to walk and shop.
If you are looking for high brand and quality stuff than this is not your address
Of shopping since most of the items here don’t have even brands or names.
I don’t think you can explore all of chatuchak weekend market in one day even
If you come all the day, so explore as much as you can and buy as much as you
Can when you are here, as they say shop till you drop.
So let me summarize some advices for you while you are in this market, 1st advice
Is to get a hat or an umbrella to save yourself from the heat of the day.
2nd bring with you a big bag to collect your bought stuff in it like a travel bag if
You are going to shop a lot.
3rd bring thai bath with you , since if you are in a shortage of money you can
Exchange foreign money only if you have your passport with you.
4th enjoy shopping
There are many hand made items in chatucahak market and with very cheap and
Affordable prices, but always remember to bargain since the prices are not fixed
But never make the seller angry
So I am walking around and showing you as much as I can so that you can have
An idea of the items you can find in this market, but as I said I cannot explore all
The market in one day that’s nearly impossible.
If you feel yourself tired while shopping, you have many options to relax
Like having a foot massage since there are many massage shops inside the
Market or eat and drink something to refresh yourself and continue shopping.
In my opinion chatuchak weekend market is one of the best ten shopping
Experiences in Thailand, and if you have the opportunity to visit it than don’t
Miss it.
So if you want the fastest & the cheapest way to reach chatucahak weekend market
You have two options 1st you can take the bts to mochit station or take MRT to
Chatuchak station and only for 2 dollars you will be here, while if will take a taxi
Or a tuk tuk you will pay much lot and waste too much time in Bangkok’s
killing traffic.
