Kamphaeng Phet and access to Chatuchak and Or Tor Kor Markets
The underground station Kamphaeng Phet with access to SHOPPING ewwww...
• Or Tor Kor Market
Or Tor Kor is a super clean fresh market, similar to an open-aired supermarket, and with prices only a bit cheaper. The market's highlights include imported fruits, along with prized domestic fruits from Rayong and other nearby provinces. There is also a small food court selling delicious Thai foods, although at a slightly higher price than most places. The Chatuchak Market plant section is directly across the road, and can also be explored if you come on a Wednesday, Thursday, or any weekend.
The market is a nice place to stroll around and take in the colourful array of fruit, or to purchase an impressive assortment of fruit for some special occasion; unfortunately, there aren't too many bargains to be had.
Opening Hours: 06:00 - 20:00 (every day)
• Chatuchak Weekend Market
Chatuchak (or Jatujak; Thai: ???????) weekend market in Bangkok is the largest market in Thailand. Frequently called J.J., it covers over 35 acres (1.13 km²) and contains upwards of 5,000 stalls. It is estimated that the market receives between 200,000 visitors each day.[1] Most stalls only open on Saturdays and Sundays.
The market offers a wide variety of products including household items, clothing, Thai handicrafts, religious artifacts, collectibles, foods, and live animals.
History
Chatuchak Market owes its origin to Field Marshal Plaek Phibulsongkram, the late prime minister of Thailand (1938-1944, 1948-1957), who came up with the idea of setting up a flea market in every town. As a result, the first flea market in Bangkok was held at Sanam Luang and was called Sanam Luang flea Market. However, there was time when the place was needed for other special functions and the flea market was then relocated to Saranrom Palace and settled there for 8 years. After that, it was moved again to Sanam Chai. But because of the limited space, it had to be moved back to Sanam Luang. In the same year, the government issued a policy to turn Sanam Luang into a public park for citizens of Bangkok and to be the venue to celebrate 200-year-anniversary of Bangkok, which would be held in 1982. Thus, it was decided that the flea market would be held at the Phahonyothin area from then on and it is later called Chatuchak Market after the nearby park under the same name.
