The Chatuchak Market is also known as the 'Jatujak Market'. It is located next to Chatuchak Park and that is how the flea market got its name in 1978. Its sheer size has earned it a record in the Guiness Book of World Record for being the world's largest flea market. This flea market sells a wide range of items, not just plants. Stalls that sell gardening products and plants are all lined up in Sections 3 and 4. The plant market, although it is well known to be open during the weekends, sales of plants also take place during mid-week on Wednesdays and Thursdays! The skytrain is perhaps the best transportation mode, of the many others that you can choose to take. Hitch a ride on skytrain and alight at Mochit station, the last northbound station. Its location on the map can be found at the bottom right hand corner. Upon exit at Mochit station, Chatuchak Park will be within sight and the flea market is nearby!
Go to the market early to avoid the heat as well as to be an early bird. Grab a copy of a map of Chatuchak if you are unfamiliar with the place. Lastly, beware of pickpockets! Other interesting sections to visit:
