Frequently Asked Questions

When is Chatuchak Weekend Market open?

Saturday and Sunday 9am-6pm are the main days. The outdoor plant section and some shops open on Friday evenings. Arrive by 9:30am to beat the worst crowds. The food section and vintage clothing area (Section 2-4) get busiest after noon.

What should I buy in Bangkok markets?

Thai silk (Jim Thompson or market stalls), handmade ceramics (Chatuchak Section 17-19), elephant pants and Thai clothing (Khao San or Pratunam), artisan soaps and beauty products, Thai spice sets, and street food snacks to take home. Bargaining is expected at markets — start at 60% of the asking price.

Which Bangkok malls are best for food?

ICONSIAM's ground-floor Sook Siam market recreates Thai street food from all regions — it's spectacular. Terminal 21's food court has some of Bangkok's cheapest mall food (50-80 THB per dish). Siam Paragon's Gourmet Market has premium grocery items and ready-to-eat international food.
