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!
