About

Chatuchak Weekend Market, known to many in Bangkok as JJ or Jatujak, is the city's great weekend shopping outing, and the Tourism Authority of Thailand counts it among Asia's largest and most diverse open-air markets. It fills a site on Kamphaeng Phet 2 Road in the Chatuchak district of north Bangkok, well away from the old city and the riverside hotels, and it trades through the day and on into the evening on weekends.

It suits shoppers with a free Saturday or Sunday, anyone hunting for gifts and keepsakes to take home, and visitors who like to browse and bargain rather than follow a plan. Because it is a weekend market, it is worth fixing a day for it early in a trip.

A market by day and after dark

The Tourism Authority of Thailand notes that the market extends into the night on weekends, and in 2026 it welcomed a study by the tour operator Travelbag that ranked Chatuchak as the world's leading night-market destination for its scale, variety and international appeal.

How to shop it

Scale is the challenge, so it pays to decide what you are looking for and roughly where you will go before you arrive. The tourism authority's advice for Thailand's big markets applies here: carry Thai baht, since many vendors prefer cash, bargain politely where haggling is expected, and keep an eye on your belongings in the crowds.

Planning a visit

The market's official presence is its Facebook page, linked on this listing, which is the place to check current hours, holiday closures and any changes before you travel across town.
