Chatuchak Weekend Market

On the Skytrain

In Malaysia we have all been to night markets. Two things you will always find there; 1. Nice stuff for a bargain and 2. A lot of people. I have to confess that Chatuchak would actually dwarf all night markets because its like the mother of em all. For those who are still not impress here are some statistics. Chatuchak is the size of a 35 acre land (trust me its huge), packed with 15,000 stalls and is visited by 200,000 visitors daily.

We were there early

The best way to get there is by Skytrain, the stop would be Mo Chit station which should land you within a 5 minutes walking distance to the mother of all markets. If you do not like to be squashed or cramp like a sardines I suggest you go early and leave early. It is hot (unless you visit around December) and there are A LOT of visitors.

P/S: Do not bring your girl friend, wife or mum...forget bringing the ladies. Once they are in here they wont leave hehe. BTW the images here were taken using a Nikon D700 with a Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8 lens.
