Shopping Bangkok - Chatuchak Weekend Market

Or Tor Kor Fruits + Snacks Market - open everyday.

Rot Fai Market (night antiques market - collectibles and memorabilia from the yesteryear)

Chatuchak is home to more than 8,000 market stalls. 

‘conquering’ Chatuchak may seem like an impossible task, Inside, one main walkway encircles the entire market, and it branches off into a series of numbered alleyways called Soi 1, Soi 2, Soi 3, and so on.

Do not forget to try this tasty coconut ice cream

How to Get to Chatuchak

skytrain (BTS) to Mo Chit station, take exit no. 1 and follow the crowd until you see rows of canvas stalls selling clothes. Turn right while continuing to follow the crowd and you will see a small entrance that leads into the market (clothing section).

Another option is to take the subway (MRT) to Chatuchak Park station (exit no.1), then follow the crowd until you arrive at the small entrance that leads into the market (clothing section).

For the plant and flower section, get off at Kampheng Phet MRT station (exit no. 1).
visit the Fruits Market at Or Tor Kor 

The weekend market is open on Saturdays and Sundays, 09:00 - 18:00, and Fridays 18:00 - 24:00. Plant sections are also open on Wednesdays and Thursdays, from 07:00 - 18:00 (please check weekday opening time with your hotel)

Or Tor Kor Fruits + Snacks Market - open everyday.

The Or Tor Kor Market in Bangkok is near the  famous Chatuchak Weekend Market.

How to get there: Take the MRT subway to Kamphaeng Phet station. Get out at exit number three, and you’re in the market. Also, you can ride the BTS skytrain towards Mo Chit, get off at Saphan Kwai station and take a taxi or tuk-tuk to the market. Bus number 543 also runs by Or Tor Kor.

Rot Fai Market (collectibles and memorabilia from the yesteryear) 

an open-air bazaar set beside an abandoned railroad track, the vintage look never goes out of style. Spread on the ground is all kinds of collectibles and memorabilia from the yesteryear, from antique furniture to hippy fashion to Mao kitsch. Rod Fai Market definitely stands out from the hordes of outdoor markets across Bangkok but it could be hard to find, as it’s tucked behind what appears to be an abandoned warehouse near the Chatuchak Weekend Market.

Taxi drivers usually don’t know it exists and will probably give you a blank face if you mention it, so the best way is to start at the MRT underground’s Kamphaeng Phet Station (opposite Or Tor Kor Food Market) and walk about five minutes in the opposite direction of Chatuchak Market.
