Chatuchak Weekend Market is a shopping paradise. Chatuchak Weekend Market is one of the largest open markets in the world. Located opposite the old northern bus terminal (Morchit) north of the city, it is one of the must-see places in Bangkok for any travelers, especially shoppers.
The market officially opens at 7am but the recommended time to go starts at 9 am when the shops finish setting up their stalls. Since the place is vast and not equipped with air conditioners, the market gets warm and so busy later on. Walking in Chatuchak during the summer months between April and May can be unbearably hot.It houses more than 10,000 shops and stalls and covers more than 100,000 square meters. It may look disorganized and first time visitors usually get disoriented.
Chatuchak Weekend Market is located around 0.3 kilometre from Kamphaeng Phet MRT (KAM).
