Weekend Market

Don’t leave Bangkok without visitin this place. Very nice local products at affordable prices. Use your haggling skills!

Haggle! And try out the icicles they sell in every corner of the market. Refreshing. :]

If you’re in Bangkok, GO!

you can buy LOTS of stuffs here.from clothes to house garments nd to food.plus ALL ARE FOR AFFORDABLE PRICES:)

Planning to be in Bangkok end November for workshop. This might be a place to pass by.

JJ Market / “Chatukcha market” / “The weekend market”, a dear thing has many names obviously and this market is definitely something.

This market has something for everyone, with sections for clothes, food, livestock, pets, arts&crafts, shoes, electronics etc. etc. My favourite items here must be the high quality thai-made clothing, often with prints and logos you cannot get anywhere else (except flea markets in India where they charge a premium because of “extra good thailand quality”).

As long as you have a healthy attitude to bargaining you cannot go much wrong. My advice would be to make up your mind as to a price you are willing to give before talking to the vendor. Then offer him/her a price somewhat below that. If your “limit” is 500 baht, then maybe offer 300 as a starting price, and work your way till you reach an agreement.

Great place to go for shopping :)

The best tips for a successful day at JJ is to go quite early on in the day, bring one of the available maps of the place (preferably one with comprehensible writing ;), and use good walking shoes!

Funny thing about this place is I can walk there within less than 3 minute, but I did that 2-3 times a year *

The last time i went here… OMG (OMB) i got stuck in a people traffic jam around the clock-tower… 10 minutes of trying to flow out of the sunday people traffic jam wasn’t so plesent.As long as you kept out of some over-crowding areas one can easily move around and look at 10000 of similar produce with 1 in 100 shops selling something different and having great style.
I guess that’s shopping… not my thing but i can see why so many people come to visit JJ markets.

I imagined how being a seller there would be and got my answer: a one day strange surreal experience….%

It’s truly shopping in Thailand!
