Chanya & Wazza's Adventures in Thailand Set your dreams into action and retire early.
It’s Friday afternoon in Bangkok, and with a few hours to spare before meeting up with friends, I decided to hop on the BTS and head north to Mo Chit, home of the legendary Chatuchak Weekend Market and JJ Mall. It’s been 7 years since my last visit, and while some things have changed, this iconic market remains a bustling hub of culture, commerce, and community. Vendors are gearing up for the weekend rush, and the atmosphere is alive with anticipation.
Chatuchak Market, one of the largest open-air markets in the world, offers an endless array of goods—from clothing and antiques to street food and souvenirs. And with the adjacent JJ Mall, a more laid-back indoor option, there’s no shortage of things to explore. Despite the development happening all over Bangkok, Chatuchak retains its authentic charm, offering a window into local life that’s as vibrant as ever.
As I stroll through the maze of stalls, I’m reminded why this city is so unique. Bangkok’s energy, friendly faces, and rich culture draw me in more with every visit. Whether you’re a seasoned traveller or a first-time visitor, there’s always something new to discover in this city of contrasts. Join me as I take in the sights, sounds, and flavours of Chatuchak Market and JJ Mall, two must-see destinations for anyone looking to experience the heart and soul of Bangkok.
