Jatujak Market- - with 8,000 vendors

We took the Sky Train and after one Exchange, and 30 minutes- we were at the largest market in Bangkok.
"Holy Crow" does not even come close to describing this place. Dawn had found it mentioned in her research in Canada and the staff at the Front Desk said you con't come to Bangkok and not see the Weekend Market called "Jatujak"

 These are "wholesalers" who used to only sell to store owners. Now, they have opened it up to the public. It was PACKED and 40+ C again today. We had to stop in the shade several times to replenish with water and wipe the sweat.


 Crazy stuff- anythings you could want. Clothes, kitchen wear, food, jewelry, shoes, lamps - I could go on and on………..

 We sat here for cold drinks- I accidentally cut off the last menu item - Duck Blood- which a man sitting across from us was drinking.

The food stalls looked and smelled amazing!







 We bought chicken skewers and garlic toast (???) on a skewer- go figure! It was excellent!


 Endless Crowds…………...
