About
Brze činjenice: Prolazeći kroz guste redove štandova osjetit ćete mješavinu mirisa začina, prženog kikirikija i ulične hrane, a šarenilo proizvoda i glasni pregovori stvaraju živahan lavirint. Ako volite cjenkanje, lako možete pronaći unikatne retro komade i rukotvorine, a najprometniji vikendi privuku i preko 200.000 ljudi.
Istaknuto: Kad prošetaš kroz labirint od preko 15.000 štandova, preplave te šarene hrpe vintage ploča, visećih bonsaija i miris prženog kokosa pomiješan s curryjem. Svaki vikend mjesto posjeti i do 200.000 ljudi, a pregovaranje je gotovo ritual: prodavci će često spustiti cijenu s 400 na 150 bahta uz smijeh i kratke doskočice, pa sve izgleda kao živa aukcija začinjena uličnoj hranom.
Insider tips
- Wear lightweight, closed-toe shoes and breathable clothing for long walking and dusty lanes.
- Bring a refillable water bottle and sun protection, vendors and nearby shops sell drinks at higher prices inside.
- Save or screenshot the market map and note section numbers at the entrance so you can find stalls again.
- Avoid stalls selling identical mass-produced trinkets if you want original pieces; look for hand-made labels and ask about materials.
