Weekend Market

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….%

buy (some) cheap & chic clothing! buy I didn’t go for a year because it’s very hot!.

It’s truly shopping in Thailand!
