Chatuchak Market is one of the largest markets in the world. Located opposite the old northern bus terminal along Phaholyothin Road (Morchit) it is a must for any travellers coming to Bangkok who has shopping on his/her mind. The market is only open at the weekends, Saturday and Sunday from 7 a.m. until late. Some of the stalls do open during the week but not sufficient to warrant a visit. Getting to Chatuchak has become a lot easier since the Skytrain and a newly Subway system opened and now you can simply take the Skytrain or Subway to the terminal Morchit.
