Some Lesser Known Facts About Chatuchak Market
- The place is a paradise for the shoppers with about fifteen thousand stalls which are spread in an area of thirty-five acres making its largest Open-Air market all over the world.
- First of all, you must prepare a list of what you want to buy in the market rather than getting lost or exhausted in the market. The market is divided into twenty-seven sections which help you to decide where to go and buy the item you need.
- As the market is huge and many stalls sell identical products so there are more chances of getting lost. Even the people who are living in Bangkok for years still get confused in the market. So if you're with a group than you must decide a landmark to meet to avoid inconvenience. According to me, the best landmark is clocktower in the center of the market.
- You can also take help of maps which are available online so as to shop in the market comfortably.
- If you have some bargaining skills it can be used at this market. The vendors can drop their prices up to 30 to 50 percent of the price which they tell you in the beginning. All you need is some patience and some haggling experience in the Asian markets. It is also advised to offer a price lower than you actually wants to pay for the good.
- The best time I prefer for the market is early mornings to avoid scorching heat and big crowds. You can also plan the visit according to opening timing of different sections as flower market opens at seven in the morning while JJ Green Market opens at six in the evening.
