 A handmade puppet from Chatujak Market is s a great present for those who have absolutely everything!

  “Shop Till You Drop", the trendy slogan for many travellers today is a reality for anyone with enough stamina to go the distance in Bangkok's Chatujak Weekend Market.
And stamina it takes to trudge over the 14 ha open air marketplace and pore over what thousands of stallholders and shopkeepers have to show and hopefully sell in an estimated 8600 shops.
By far the largest marketplace in all Thailand and perhaps even the most spacious open air market to be found in Asia, Bangkok's bizarre bazaar is without comparison in either size or diversity.
More like a maze than a market, under canopied comfort you can buy just about anything you’ve ever thought of as well as many items you could never imagine.
An illustrated feature on Chatujak can be written on assignment from 500 to 1000 words - depending upon editorial requirements - and supplied with a selection of hi-res digital images.
