Chatuchak Market is a must-do on a visit to Bangkok. It's the largest open air and weekend market in the world and you can easily spend a day just wandering around and still without seeing it all. The market is spread across 35 acres and has more than 15 000 stalls (although less stalls are now open due to pandemic).
You can find literally everything here: clothing (imported mass-market and local Thai designers), leather products (can be literally made in front of you), antiques, furniture and home decorations, plants and flowers, jewelry, pets, electronics, toys, food.. you name it. Before it used to be the place for wholesale trade but it was quickly discovered by regular shoppers and now most of the stalls cater to them.
Even if the market is theoretically open air it has a partially covered roof so you won't be exposed to direct sun all day. Chatuchak can definitely be overwhelming but it's a must visit while in Bangkok and you won't leave empty handed, that's for sure.
Make sure you have plenty of water and comfortable clothes.
You can literally spend a full day here, eat, shop and repeat. There are plenty of food stalls selling food, fruits, ice cream and treats so you will definitely not go hungry.
There are two shopping malls in adjustment to the market: J.J Mall and Mixt Chatuchak Mall, so if you feet are still carrying you and you feel like you haven't fullfilled your shopping desire, these malls will do it for you.
