Bangkok is a city of shopping with markets in almost every corner of town. But for the best selection of original designs and creative products, Jatujak is the granddaddy of them all. Stylish people (like myself ) live what merchants here have to offer. Aside from the creative clothing and accessories, Jatujak is where you can shop for souvenirs, used books, funky furniture and even exotic pets (though l don’t really support that).
