PRETTY, PERKY, POSEY, PRECIOUS PETS OF ALL PERSUASIONS AT CHATUCHAK WEEKEND MARKET IN BANGKOK! IT'S LIKE VISITING THE ZOO EXCEPT ALL CREATURES BIG, SMALL OR MIDDLING ARE FOR SALE! AND SO CHEAP COMPARED TO MALAYSIA! BANGKOK IS TRULY AN ANIMAL HAVEN! A POODLE PUPPY WITH NO PAPERS COSTS ONLY 2,500 BAHT (RM 300) WHILE A SIMILAR ONE IN KUALA LUMPUR IS DOUBLE THE PRICE IF YOU ARE LUCKY

CHATUCHAK WEEKEND MARKET IN BANGKOK IS WORLD FAMOUS FOR SHOPPING BUT MOSTLY FOR CLOTHES, SHOES, ACCESSORIES, KNICK KNACKS, THAI SOUVENIRS, CARVINGS AND EVEN FURNITURE WHICH INVOLVES SHIPPING BACK HOME SINCE YOU CANNOT SHOVE TABLES, CHAIRS AND LAMPS INTO SUITCASES.

BUT CHATUCHAK IS ALSO FAMOUS FOR ART WITH EMERGING ARTISTS PROVING HOW WORLD CLASS THEY ARE! YOU CAN GET YOUR OIL PORTRAIT DONE FOR RM 3,000 OR LESS WHICH MAKES THE PERFECT GIFT TO YOURSELF OR FAMILY.

But not many are aware Chatuchak market is also famous for living things as in pets! The Pets Section cater mostly to locals who come here to buy the cutest puppies, guppies, kittens, sugar gliders and hamsters which are normal and common. But here one can also find truly exotic, unusual and rare and exceeding expensive pets too! From macaws selling at 240,000 baht which is RM 28,000 each! To rare Sphinx cats which are hairless and suffer from sunburn so they must be kept indoors at 18,000 baht or RM 2,100 to gophers, gerbils and goats!

Or the world's biggest dogs like Alaskan Malamute at RM 7,700 per puppy which is cheap as a full grown, fabulously furry and magnificent specimen can be worth RM 200,000!

DARLING POODLE PUPPY SELLS FOR ONLY 2,500 BAHT WHICH USED TO BE RM 250 BUT IS NOW RM 300 DUE TO OUR WEAK RINGGIT!
