The 22,000km Trip (8) Bangkok: Chatuchak Weekend Market

I know it's a very "tourist"-y thing to do which I am not really a fan of but everyone kept on telling to come here once when you're in Bangkok. For those who are not familiar, it is a huge market that is only held on weekends. I am not kidding when I say "huge". The entire market is divided into over 20 sections so be sure to check the map before you go and make a list of things of what you want to buy, otherwise you will be utterly overwhelmed. Also expect a lot of people in a concentrated, non-AC space so be well-prepared!

Besides being ginormous and chaotic and hot, you'll bound to find some good nick-knacks here. I bought a dress, passport cover, and essential oil all for a total under $10USD so it's quite worth it. For those that are staying in Bangkok long term, there's even furniture, plants, and cooking utensils so it's a definite must for finding good deals. I was not feeling good at all that day so I wasn't able to stay for a long time but make sure to hydrate yourself aplenty and also pick up some nice food in the stalls. If you get tired, there's also massage stands to recuperate.
