Loads of interesting stuff. The further in you go the cheaper it gets in general - stalls around the edges often charge more. Love all the flower lights and great Buddha pictures. Clothes can be fantastic or not but that's like any market. great for a day out and the animal area keeps my son busy for hours. The prices may not be the cheapest but thay'll almost certainly be cheaper than any of the specific backpacker areas like Khao an Road.

I like the huge Chatuchak Market mostly for the atmosphere. It's fun to shop there when it's not too hot, but I don't necessarily expect to find the best prices there. What they do have is the most variety of any market in Bangkok. They have everything from antiques and crafts to clothing to pets--well, everything. They have a busy, reasonably-priced restaurant called Tho Phlu in the center of the market that I especially enjoy for food or drink. They even have an air-conditioned room. When you enter the market, get a free map at the information booth. You won't get lost as much as you would without it. Tourists will seldom know that Kamphaeng Phet subway stop gets you right into the market.

A huge market with much stuff you probably do not know existed till you get there! And at very low price too.

Such a weekend market that very huge,
Many clients, merchants, customers, Many products and many catagories.
But i think it's narrow, I do understand that the area is limited, can't expand.
One thing which I like is, products also changed to new model, now look, the people who like Jatujak, they will go there every weekend.

As with life, not what it used to be.. most things there can be found cheaper elsewhere though sometimes, somethings can be a bargain and occasionally you can find something original.. the flower and plant mkt on Wednesday there is good..

cowarded, hot, crazy, prices ok but again can find in other open air markets also. It's just a landmark in Thai Tourism.

I love that place!!! it's cheap and you find everything you want for your house ( decoration, furniture,painting ) , pets, hand made things, clothes, plants, food...etc
I recommend you to go on early morning;7am because it will be very hot on the afternoon and I hate the heat!

a maize-like marketplace with many interesting things to see and buy from. It is not a place for young children to go as it is pretty stuffy there.
