Bangkok 2nd Trip - Day 4 - Jatujak Weekend Market

Destination of the Night : Jatujak Weekend Market

How to go there : Either take the BTS to Mo Chit or the MRT to Chatuchak Park. After that follow the crowd and you won't get lost.

Jatujak is only open on weekend. Please take note of this if you are planning for a visit to this place. So you need to arrange either Saturday or Sunday in your trip for this place. I have a friend that plan to visit on Friday morning and only find out that Jatujak is not open when my friend arrive.

A lot of people wonder why Jatujak is so famous. Things here is cheap and you can search for almost anything here. From umbrella, soft toys, home made soap, fragrance incense, drawing, t-shirt, pet, books, and many more. Walking in this place require a lot of patience as the shop is a real maze.

The entrance have booth setup that provide free map but honestly it is quite useless. The best way to navigate here is everyone agree on a time to meet at a spot and then return to this spot when the time is up. Even though the place is huge and you can walk here for more than 4 hours. Most people will either find their hands full of item or their leg very pain from all the walking. So estimate around 3 hours and you will be fine.

If you have kids with you or very poor in direction, then becareful here.

The long queue of crowd heading to Jatujak. My advise is don't stop here. The peddler things is usually more expensive than the things selling in Jatujak Weekend Market.
