We caught the Skytrain to the Chatuchak weekend market. We thought that the Chatuchak market was absolutely fantastic. There was a wide range of products besides the usual clothing and accessories, including vintage clothing, jewellery, home wares, local handicrafts, art and collectibles, food, live animals, plants and gardening accessories, flowers, wickerwork and ceramics. This was a shopper’s paradise with an enormous number of stalls housed in steamy aluminium sheds running down narrow alleys overflowing with merchandise and people. The market was organised into sections with similar products located together – our favourite sections were the ones containing ceramics, home wares and art. We managed to get totally lost - we tried to find a food stall that we had seen earlier but found that we had wandered miles from our original location. We ended up walking around the markets for a few hours snacking on mango sticky rice, orange juice, crispy roast pork, pineapple, som tam (papaya salad) and coconut ice cream from the various food stalls.
