#209: Chatuchak Weekend Market (Page 498; Listed as "Bangkok's Markets" in 2nd Ed, pg 621)

Feb 25, 2018.
We lucked out.  The Chatuchak Weekend Market is only open on weekends (go figure ;)). We were only in Bangkok one full day of this entire trip and it happened to fall on a weekend, so we got to check out Chatuchak - yay!

Picture this:  stalls and stalls and stalls of every imaginable Thai creation you can think of.  If you need a Thai souvenir, this is your place!  We didn't buy anything the entire week and then we stocked up here right before going home. 





And one of our best purchases - 2 scoops of homemade coconut ice cream served in a coconut for 50 baht ($1.60).


It's hot.  It's crowded.  But it's so fun!

Verdict:  No.  This isn't a must do experience before you die, but at the same time, if you find yourself in Bangkok over the weekend, then this needs to be at the top of your list!
