I planned to visit the oh-so-famous Chatuchak a.k.a JJ Market but it opens only on weekends. It was pretty disappointing.

So, if you are unfortunate enough to travel to Bangkok during the weekdays like me, fret not! cause Bangkok City still has Suan Lum Night Bazaar to cheer you up!
Suan Lum Night Bazaar is located in Bangkok's Pathum Wan's district.
The whole bazaar is aligned in a maze with little shops that sell things like arts, crafts, furniture, clothes, bags, food and so on! Unlike those normal night markets, these little shops in Suan Lum are undeniably unique in their very own way. Even though it's just a tiny little shop, most of them are very creative and well-designed to suit the theme that they desire, either from chic modern or, to a more vintage kind of design. This is definitely something that you could not see in Malaysia, or KL to be specific. Yes, you can even bring your pets for a shopping spree! All sorts of pet toys can be found there. How adorable!
Anyhow, those things that they sell in Suan Lum Night Bazaar aren't exactly cheap. Or at least I thought they are supposed to be. Even so, I still love it there. The giant food court in Suan Lum Night Bazaar. A perfect place for you to relax a little after shopping for hours. A row of hard liquor stalls. So now you can even drink cocktails in an open-air food center. Definitely can't find this in Malaysia now can we? I would love to take more pictures of the bazaar, but the notice of "No camera" was everywhere to be seen!
Guess they do not wish to have anyone copying their design? I don't know. But I did try to secretly take a few without flash.
Which is the best bazaar that you've been to?

never been to one...looks fun!
Suan Lum takes some beating as far as bazaar's go however in the week Pratunam has a very good market with lots of bargains to be had, it's nice and central too so not too much traveling involved!
