Chatuchak Market in Bangkok

If you can dream it up, Chatuchak probably has it. Here, you will be amazed at the sheer variety of merchandise, whether a Moroccan lamp, an antique wooden chest, a pair of vintage Levi’s jeans, or, on the exotic side, a python.

I’m at the first few week so I couldn’t buy so much. My backpack is full enough. But when I’m traveling again in Asia I’ll bring my backpack and fill it here! It’s cheap and they got everything. I bought two t-shirts 100 baht each. (2.50 euro)

Also when you go to Beijing Vietnam or Cambodia you can bring a good backpack and fill it here in Asia.
