CHATUCHAK WEEKEND MARKET IN BANGKOK LAST NOVEMBER 2019. CHATUCHAK IS THE WORLD'S BIGGEST AND BEST WEEKEND MARKET, SELLING ALMOST EVERYTHING YOU CAN THINK OF AND SOME YOU NEVER EXPECTED. FROM FABULOUS FASHION TO PRETTY PETS TO PERKY PLANTS AND ADORABLE ANTIQUES TO THINGS YOU NEVER THOUGHT YOU NEEDED TILL YOU SAW THEM! BARGAINING IS PART OF THE GAME THOUGH ITEMS WITH DISPLAYED PRICES MAY BE NON NEGOTIABLE. IT HAS ONLY BEEN 5 MONTHS AND HOW THE WORLD HAS CHANGED. CHATUCHAK IS CLOSED AS SHOULDER-TO-SHOULDER CROWDS ARE NOT THE BEST PLACES TO AVOID CORONA VIRUSES. SO HERE IS A SENTIMENTAL WALK DOWN MEMORY LANE AS ONLY BUDDHA KNOWS WHEN CHATUCHAK MARKET WILL BE BACK TO ITS PREVIOUS FUN STATE.
