Thailand, great for a getaway especially in the New Zealand Winter, beaches, islands, temples, jungles and markets - something for everyone!

Talk to me Now!

April 2010

I have just returned from Chatachuck market, my first visit to this weekend mecca. I am not normally a big shopping fan but this place just blew me away. The equivalent of over 20 football fields of Bangkok bargains. With distinct sections for art, souvenirs, fashion and household goods it appeals to both tourists and locals and there are lots of places to stop and refuel before renewing the onslaught.

We bought lots of different things, my job now is to try and pack it all and get it home in one piece, but this market is so good I even managed to buy some bubble wrap!

Location: Chatuchak market is adjacent to the Kamphaengphet station of the MRT Bangkok Metro Blue Line, or about a 5-minute walk from the Mo Chit station of the BTS Skytrain Sukhumvit Line and another MRT station of Suan Chatuchak (Chatuchak Park).
