[Bangkok] Chatuchak Weekend Market
Chatuchak Weekend Market (also called Jatujak or JJ Market) is probably the biggest outdoor market you have ever seen. no joke. it covers an enormous 35 acres and contains more than 5,000 stalls. it offers a wide variety of products including household items, clothing, Thai handicrafts, collectibles, foods, and religious artifacts, and has reached a landmark status as a must-visit place for tourists. Chatuchak also houses many of Bangkok’s local independent designers, selling their creations at very reasonable prices. and for my lovely readers who love vintage or vintage-inspired items, Chatuchak is definitely the place to be!
