The longest flea market in the world

Chaduchak Weekend Market is located in the north of Bangkok city center, near the Mochi Skytrain station, as a famous tourist attraction in Thailand, it can accept at least 500,000 people every Saturday, among which there are not only foreign tourists, but also more and more residents around, according to the official statistics found that 60% of those who come here are local residents, in fact, this is all because of the many vendors in this market, after all, there are more than 15,000 stalls In fact, this is due to the fact that there are more than 15,000 vendors in this market, after all, there are more than 15,000 stalls, just zoning out 27, almost every customer can find what they want here, and is worthy of being called the world's longest flea market.

The market is a large venue with a wide variety of goods, even comparable to Taobao, only you can not think of nothing you can not buy, from the small to the daily life items used by Thais, such as essential oils, clothing, books, etc., to a variety of Buddhist decorations, flowers, etc. And the main function of each district here has a clear division, just like our big shopping malls, not only shopping places, but also to meet your various needs such as food, drink and play.

The origin of this market can be traced back to the 1940s, when it was founded by the then Prime Minister of Thailand, and it was originally designed to showcase the specialties of each district and city in Bangkok, Thailand, and has since evolved into a permanent marketplace, which is now one of the featured tourist venues in Bangkok, Thailand, and has been dubbed the "Shopping Paradise" of Thailand.

You may find it difficult to feel how long this flea market in the end, we can make a hypothesis, if a person only stay in front of a stall for a second, then walk the whole market also need more than four hours or so, and a second to see what, almost only sweep away, so that if you want to travel here, then do not leave a three or five days, it is basically very difficult to shop, which is probably why it will be called the world's longest flea market.
