iuytrede Posted May 19, 2001 Report Share Posted May 19, 2001 Chattuchak Park, last stop of skytrain (Mochit) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 19, 2001 Report Share Posted May 19, 2001 Yep, just get off the skytrain at Mochit and follow the crowds. It's bloody hot there though, and crowded. You're shoulder to shoulder the whole time. I took a map of the place with me but I soon got lost anyway, best just to dive in and explore I think. It's a fascinating place, especially the first time you go, and there's the odd airconditioned stall or restaurant to escape the heat in. I liked it but be warned, it's rawn maak maak at any time of day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsmedave Posted May 19, 2001 Report Share Posted May 19, 2001 King, Yes, take the skytrain to Mo Chit. I would advise going as early as possible when the heat and the crowds will be less oppresive. But do go, it's an experience not to be missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thai3 Posted May 20, 2001 Report Share Posted May 20, 2001 King Kong Everything is said to be cheaper there but I did not find everything to be. I last went three years ago with an ex gf who is tighter than a ducks arse when it comes to buying stuff. I saw a buddha image that I wanted and asked how much- 230 baht.Supatra was haggling elswhere so I got her to get it for me at 120 Baht, not bad thinks me. Later in the week saw the same thing on sukhumvit marked up at 99 baht! So you can get done, it's a facinating market though, I would go early.-peter quote: Originally posted by kingkong: Just read about the Weekend market on BangkokPhils site. Where is it?
