About
Brze činjenice: Lavina boja, mirisa i zvukova preplavljuje uske prolaze, a stotine štandova nude sve, od vintage odjeće do egzotičnih zalogaja. Iskusni pregovarači i znatiželjni posjetitelji često uspiju spustiti cijene i do 50%, dok se naleti neočekivanih nalaza pretvaraju u priče koje vrijedi pamtiti.
Istaknuto: Kad zalutate kroz redove štandova, naletite na staricu po imenu Somjai koja već 40 godina peče kokosove palačinke na tavi širokoj samo 20 centimetara, miris karamele i prženog kokosa širi se na metar. Na subotu navečer, lokalni prodavači se okupljaju u zoni 7 da izmjenjuju stare plakate i vinile za točno 30 bahta, pravilo koje je opstalo desetljećima i stvara osjećaj da kupujete komad priče, ne samo suvenir.
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.
