CHATUCHAK OR SOMETIMES SPELLED AS JATUJAK MARKET COVERS 27 ACRES SO IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DO IT IN ONE MORNING! 

I always come to Chatuchak every Saturday morning till it closes at 6 pm and also Sunday so I spend an average of 14 hours in Chatuchak wandering aimlessly and happily every Saturday and Sunday. Getting a taxi back to town centre is not easy but I have Thai vendors who are friends and when I am ready to balik hotel, one will hail a taxi and speak in Thai as sometimes unscrupulous drivers demand 300 baht for what is no more than 100 baht ride excluding 50 baht for toll!

But if alone, just ask for 150 or 200 baht max. Going there is much easier as taxi drivers you are fresh as daisy and in no hurry but coming home is when you are tired, frazzled, laden with goods and in need of shower!

Chatuchak is meant for locals so prices are geared for local consumers! Bargaining is expected and often it is around 20% if the prices are already shown openly for Thai buyers. One off pieces like second hand clothes and shoes which can be really cool can be reduced extensively but then i saw a pair of shoes for 500 baht and I asked for 450 baht and he refused to budge despite me passing by his shop thrice! So on the fourth time I paid 500 baht meekly! 

WORLD FAMOUS IMAGE OF HIS MAJESTY THE KING OF THAILAND ACCEPTING LITTLE OFFERING FROM DEVOTED SUBJECT WHO TREATS HIM LIKE A DIVINITY. THE KING OF THAILAND HAS DEVOTED HIS ENTIRE LIFE TO THAILAND AND HIS PEOPLE AND AT 88 IS THE WORLD'S LONGEST REIGNING MONARCH AND DESERVING OF WORSHIP. KING BHUMIBOL ADULADEJ IS THE GREATEST KING OF THAILAND AND LONG LIVE THE THAI KING! THIS IMAGE IS SEEN IN MANY MEDIUM FROM PHOTO TO SCULPTURE TO PAINTING AND APPEARS IN MOST HOMES AS IT SHOWS THE THAI KING'S EMPATHY WITH HIS SUBJECTS.
