Chatuchak Weekend Market

The Number One Paradise for Traveling Shoppers

Chatuchak Weekend Market or JJ Market is the top place to shop for Thais. Even foreign tourists voted Chatuchak Market as the paradise for shopping due to its charm and uniqueness. Chatuchak Market has a wide variety of products ranging from clothes, accessories, art & crafts, old books, antiques, home decoration products, furniture, flora & fauna and many other miscellaneous items. The market zone is open only on Saturday-Sunday, from 08.00-21.00. The charm and bright colors of Chatuchak Market is inviting, and friendly vendors will entice shoppers to visit and buy items and gifts to take home with you.

Tips: Next to Chatuchak Market is the Vachirabenjatas Park or Rot Fai Park, a public park where you can sit and chill. We recommend the Water Zone, a pond with large trees as natural umbrellas for taking a break after shopping.

Sampheng Market

Ultimate Gift Shop Source

Sampheng Market was originally a Chinese community area with immigrants from China settling down in Thailand from the reign of King Rama I, the founder of the Rattanakosin Kingdom and the first monarch of the reigning Chakri dynasty of Siam (now Thailand) – before transforming into a popular trade and commercial area for wholesale and retail trade. We recommend shoppers and tourists to roam the streets of Sampheng from 09.00-17.00; products sold in Sampheng are toys, jewelry, hats, bags, clothing apparel, equipment and DIY handicrafts, etc.

From the Sampheng zone, a short walk further will take you to the famous Pahurat area, known for its textiles. Both areas are open for bargaining and price negotiations – the more you buy, the more money you save.

Tips: Near Sampheng Market is the “Ong Ang Canal”, another tourist landmark of Bangkok. This place is filled with street art and cool spots for photo ops; street food and local restaurants must not be missed.

Pak Khlong Talat

Old flower market in Thailand

Pak Khlong Talat or Flower Market is located on Chakkraphet Road in Wang Burapha Phirom Subdistrict of the Phra Nakhon District in Bangkok. The Flower Market lies along the banks of the illustrious Chao Phraya River that nurtures the lives of the Thai people. It is a fresh market for agricultural produce, fruits and vegetables, and is a major flower market where people come to buy fresh flowers and various types of dried flowers. The market is a place of symbolic value and is the epitome of the typical community of the old days in Bangkok. The charm of Pak Khlong Talat area is the plethora of flower shops beaming with bright fresh colors of local and imported flowers, lined up neatly on the streets of the market.

Tips: If you go to Pak Khlong Talat in the evening, buy a bouquet of your favorite flowers as props for photographs. Then take a walk and admire the spectacular view of the Memorial Bridge or Phra Buddha Yodfa Bridge, it is the oldest Bridge in Thailand that connects the Phra Nakhon area with Thonburi – and is a popular landmark among tourists.
