OK, Chaktuchak is a big place of around 10 football fields at the northern part of Bangkok. The sky train terminal station Mo Chit of Sukhumvit line is where the Chaktuchak park is. Next to the park is this giant hot place. Hot in trend and hot in temperature. If you are new to here, remember to make your decision before you leave the shop. Don't ever think of going back after you check the other shops. It's not easy for you to go back unless you have a very good tracking memory.
This restaurant in section 3 soi 45/3 is really nice. They made very nice somtum (photo 2). As I asked for "mai pai" (no chili), then it's almost zero chili though there is a bit. The somtum is not too sweet and not too sour - perfect balance! BTW, section is very close to the road side end if you walk from Mo Chit back to the south direction. If you take MRT (subway), you should get off one more station after Chaktuchak. Then there is an exit to this section 3 - no need to walk that far.
3. Larb - minced pork salad - good too. Besides, it's not that salty as compared to other shops. Mmh.. then do we have to be claimed "foreign taste" though I see a lot of locals. 4. fried rice with chicken - very nice and very big portion of rice - mmh.. ok, can't avoid saying it's foreign taste because local thai portion is only 2/3 or half of this portion. So we ordered 4 dishes plus 2 drink, we paid B260. Ain't it a good tasty lunch?

5. Chou Kwai (Herbal Jelly): The first time I got to this shop and tried it "wow, amazingly good. They use deep brown sugar and the ice is unevenly crushed. The herbal jelly is very chewy and smells very herbal. That was 10 years ago. So last Saturday, I had it again - so much memory! 6. section 3 is a very hip place with a number of trendy shops. Also, it's cooler than other sections as it's on the south east outer skirt of Chaktuchak.
7. I paid B350 for this simple with little style v-neck t-shirt. Kind of cool! I wore it today.
8. a shop selling a variety of herbal tea, candle and spa products. 9. another T-shirt store.
10. this is another section - forgot the no. but it's also on the eastern outer-skirt. 11. a nice chill-out cafe.

Nice t-shirt! Thanks for the tips.
Did anyone bring me here before? This place looks fun and lots of good stuffs(also cheap). I like it.
But maybe I am not in the good area. I just only see those old jeans and many many shops sell the same things. Very boring. Also, not very cheap. The quality of jeans is no good.
Mmh.. not sure if I made a mistake to show this place.
My intention is to tell 2 of my friends. Haha.. this place has no gold hidden.
JJ is good. Lots of old jeans and good t shirts.
If you go there in the mid summer you will suffer from heat exhaustion. But the refreshment areas in the market can cool you down. The food there is also good if you know which stalls to go.
I love the paintings and home section where they sell a lot of decorations, very Thai-inspired and affordable.
That v neck shirt looks nice and also very good price.
