Continuing with today's theme of things that are just too much to comprehend is the Chatuchak Market. The actual size of the place is a little much to comprehend. Think 35 acres of the Queen Victoria Market, with something like 8,000 stalls. It's kind of crazy. Finding a stall that you visited the previous day is a challenge itself.
A typical laneway. Nicole and I have spent something like 8 hours there and still missed seeing enormous chunks of the market. There is a fair degree of repeat stores - it seems like there are some franchise arrangements. The market is brilliant for clothing - provided you can find the right size!
Lots of tourist style items there. I don't think the ladder is for sale, but I'm sure that there was probably a ladder shop there somewhere. Nicole and I commented that we hadn't seen any hardware type stalls there - probably in one of the areas we didn't get to.
Plenty of food of course is available. Eg, chocolate coated bananas.
Not everything for sale is nice, or necessarily legal! The blue item at the top of the picture is a baseball bat. Also present are knuckle dusters and the small multi bladed stars that get thrown. Didn't spend much time near this stand!
