Chatuchak (JJ market)
Chatuchak market
Chatuchak or JJ market is said to be the largest flea market in
the world. 'Organized' along narrow grid lines under tin roofs this
enormous market is packed tight with all of Thailand's wears.
Around 15,000 stalls are loosely categorised into clothing, crafts,
food, and animal sections and it is probable that shoppers will
quickly become disoriented. Some of Thailand's illegally traded
animals are sold here and vendors are quick to spot signs of
oncoming raids. Yet a host of legal but bizarre goods are traded;
cock fighting roosters, monkeys, fake designer gear and antiques
are just the tip of the iceberg. The market is only open on the
weekends from 8 am to 6 pm and on Fridays for wholesalers. It is
easily reached by the sky train from the Mo Chit station and by
subway.
Opening time: Weekends from 8am to 6pm
