is
the largest of it's type in the world. And it is probably the most diverse.
It is 68 rai (over 26 acres and 100,000 square meters) in area. Chatuchak is
much more than a market. It is a singular experience and not to be missed.
Anything for sale in Bangkok will be here as well. The market is chaotic and
illogical, but it works.
An estimate 200,000 shoppers arrive each day. Shops and stalls, 9,000 of
them, sell merchandise of every description. From antiques to Buddha amulets
to pets and handicrafts, the sprawling complex is a shopper's delight. Many
of the 5,000+ merchants are individuals and families who work all week to
prepare merchandise for sale on weekends. You will find bargains galore.
Bargaining is required and Chatuchak is an excellent place to hone your
skills.
