Where is the market located?

The Chatuchak Weekend market is located in the north-eastern part of Bangkok, in the Chatuchak district. It is easily approachable by public transport so commuting would not be an issue. The market is only a 2 minutes’ walk from the Kamphaeng Phet MRT station, where the market will be specifically labelled in the exit directions inside the station. The market is also very close to the Mo Chit BTS station from where you can get a motorbike or a taxi ride to the entrance of the market which is very cheap in the Bangkok city. Even a taxi from central Bangkok to the market will cost around $5-6 USD depending on the traffic congestion. Therefore, getting to the market will not be a hassle at all.
