http://www.TravelsWithSheila.com If you've never visited Bangkok, sit in a steam bath for an hour to prepare for year-round heat and humidity. Ready? Then let's visit the always fun Chatuchak Weekend Market, one of my favorites with always something new to see and buy; known as the "World's Biggest Weekend Market." We usually come in early morning before the heat turns brains to mush, but staff at Royal Princess Larn Luang Hotel said that late Sunday afternoon is the best time for bargains; sellers want to pack up and go home! Chow down on energy bars before attempting this "mother of them all." I have never had enough energy to see one quarter of the approximately 10,000 stalls arranged in color-coded sections selling handicrafts, plants, pets, "antiques," books, furniture, and clothes. Beware of pickpockets, and when you get lost, and you WILL get lost, just ask someone to point in the right direction. We did manage to walk the entire perimeter outside Chatuchak where the supposed unique, and antique dealers sit and marveled at what were either crocodile or alligator heads for sale. Who would buy, or even need, one of those? Please don't forget to Subscribe Share and Like. Thanks.
