Bangkok, Thailand: Chatuchak Weekend Market

The Chatuchak weekend market, is THE market to go to when you are in Bangkok. So, if you go, make sure you are there for a weekend. It covers an area of roughly 35 acres and has over 15,000 stalls and vendors, and usually sees over 200,000 visitors in one day! It is pure shopping madness - especially when you factor in the heat and humidity. Whatever your heart desires, you will probably find it here - housewares, clothing, antiques, jewelry, Thai silk, souvenirs, food, and even animals. It's an exhausting, but memorable day!

There are always musicians on hand to entertain the masses. This Thai Cowboy was playing American Bluegrass.

Souvenirs galore, including these cool "antique" puppets.


Food. Need I say more? These are spciy, pickled vegetables.

Rion and I had fun walking around the pet section. We got a good laugh over this little bulldog pup in pink tutu.
