Jatujak/Chatuchak Weekend Market

Jatujak Weekend Market or Chatuchak is the must go shopping place at Bangkok if you are at there during weekends. Its only open at weekends. Our first day at Bangkok was Sunday. I insist in going to this market. I told TS that most people spend a whole day at here but his friend say 2-3 hours of shopping time is enough. I told them impossible but they didn't believe me.

We took the BTS train to Mo Chit Station. Here is the ticket machine, just change coins with the counter to buy the tickets.
Here is train comes ~~ the train is more advance compare to KL, abit similar to Singapore MRT.

Huge roundabout on our way to jatujak, with colorful taxis and busses ~ bright pink, aqua blue, green~~

6 of us at the train. Missing TS who is the camera men.

Reach Mo Chit station. Look at the crowds~~ Look at the busses and taxi~~ Omg ~~ so much people. It is around 2.30pm and the sun is very hot. There is a view from the train station that we can see how huge is the weekend market. I forgotten to take picture on that. But you can see them at here.
We are too hungry that we grab some waffles when we come out from the train. TS eating the rum and raisin waffle.

We walk down the train station and saw a park. No one have any idea on how to enter the weekend market and we followed people walking into to the park. The park are some of people picnic on this hot sun. Crazy~!

We walk and we walk, and spotted some food to eat. It is hard when it comes to ordering food as we don't understand thai. So we need to point the menu and show 1 or 2 with our fingers. Here is comes- Tomyam noodles~! Was surprise why it is in white color. And at the table have several sauces. The seller seems understand what we are asking and pull out 4 difference sauce for TS to mix with. Here you can control how spicy or how sweet your soup/noodle will be.

Pork noodle~~ nothing special, just that the portion of food at Bangkok is small. Similar to Penang, but the price is KL price. That means expensive.

After our meal. It was 3pm already. Omg~~ Time is running out as i know the stalls start to close around 6pm. It is best to get a map, incase you get lost. We got ours on half of our shopping journey.

The first thing that got our attention was this knitting colorful bags. Yes, colorful things will attrack me alot.

We ended up buying 3 bags. I choose the most smallest and cutest one. The rest was brought by TS. I feel very "aunty" if carry bigger bags on these design.

We brought another luggage at jatujak. 4 wheel army skin luggage only cost 1500Baht. If buy in Malaysia, after discount it is still RM300++.

I know I don't have enough time to walk the whole market, so I only choose what I like to see the most to look around. I was lucky that the first station I walk into the art and craft section.

The second thing I spotted was these beautiful lights~~ I love love them alot~~ I wish I can buy all and decoration my house, but I do not own one now. So I just brought 1 pack which contains balls and latterns of lights. Beautiful~~


Some beautiful decorations on the market~ TS spotted this for me~~ he really knows me.

This i spotted myself~~ Bird cage! Not sure why people like handcrafts love bird cage. But it's a popular item to decorate your garden or your home. There is alot of them selling there but it is too big to carry back to KL. Does this look great??

Artificial flowers and grass. I love it in balls and they look colorful.

Tote bags~ I think hand draw too~~ I enjoy walking and looking at this area~ so much ideas that I can get here~

It was a rush trip shopping here. I do see alot of miniature food like cakes, dishes, sushi, tables, chairs, even stalls, booths... I even saw some shop selling beads, shells accesories, paper flowers (very cheap~ can use for card making),gift boxes, buttons.... Too many. My suggestion to just buy when you see them, else sometimes you won't able to find the stall back.

TS spotted another hand draw t-shirt shop ~~ I love them so much~ Almost every piece have different dolls and design~

This is what I brought for 280Baht~~ she is way too cute~~ .

Another designer's design T-shirt. TS wanted the Mummy T-shirt but it was out of stock, so he choose a Thai Boxing T-shirt and I choose the Thai language T-shirt.

I don't really like this type of handmade t-shirts but it is crowded with people in front of the shop~

Some beautiful picture under art section~~

Drawing on Blythe~~

Found some blythe outfit and dolls selling at the ladies fashion area. I saw some blythe doll outfit but I didn't brought any~~ regreting now~! Blythe dolls are very expensive at Thailand.

Mango with sticky rice 50Baht~ We saw from the hotel this is a must try item. But I think nothing so special of it. Just the mango taste good and sweet.

Alien vs Predator made from recycle metals and hardware. Was impressed!

There even have a section selling pets. So many cute dogs that I like. Pricing starting from 5000Baht which cost more then thousand RM in Malaysia. Wish I can bring them home, but they can't ship to Malaysia :(

Wholesale of dog food and materials~~ first time I see so much different dog food....

Dog are as lucky as human now, they even have kimono dress for dogs. Accessories for dogs too (Bling bling neck tie for dogs).... Bangkok is really more advance then Malaysia.

This is my first time I saw dress for rabbit~~ omg!!!

A branch of youngster wearing in black, hands taking human organ (of cause fake ones) and starting to shout out their slogan (in thai) which we do not understand. At first we though they are protesting.

Incest snacks again~~ I dare not eat!~~

Some tiny buttons and fancy buttons I got from jatujak. Very reasonable price. The ribbons I got from pratunam market for 50Baht only. We left jatujak around 6pm. I want to come here again. Shopping at Bangkok is definately cheaper then Singapore.

Blythe in Kimono/Yukata

After 3 nights of scratching heads of the Japanese tutorial. I finally complete her first dress - Kimono/Yukata. I was abit lazy on sewing the waist band. I took some ribbons, golden strings, yarns, beads and make them in the shortest time. It's worth while to keeping all those things and I could find everything I want from my stash. When I was doing her waist band, my lovely housemate took her and starting to set her hair for me~. I couldn't wait until the weekends where I can take pictures on sunny days. I just want to dress her up and snaps photos of her.

Here is her her kimono/yutaka. I made her a small matching pouch for her to carry around. I didn't manage to make or buy any shoes for her.

She looks beautiful in every angle of the shooting.

Making her clothers is kinda addictive. Omg~~ I need to stop thinking of her and concentrate on doing more crafts for the coming event.

Enjoy~

Grenda Shoes - Vanilla

I manage to grab this Grenda Shoes Vanilla at my window shopping at Sungai wang last week. Original price RM69.90 (more expensive then other shops), but after 50% discount, was RM35 only. Wanted to buy it long long time ago, either is no discount or no size, so I drag until that day haven't buy yet. (Thank god I didn't buy)

It is made with rubber, with lace trim and a rhinestone studded bow on the toe. A cute and comfortable shoe to wear for casual and working.

Men's shopping

Went shopping after work yesterday. Main purpose accompany TS to buy his shoes. Monday I saw Perdo at KLCC have 40% discount. He say wanted to have a look.

Perdo only have men shoes, price are RM200 and above (normal price). Before sales period, we have visited the shop. But maybe the price is too high and he didn't get any pair.

But yesterday, he got this pair of shoes for RM190++, less then RM200 (original price was RM300++). There is another color - blue when our last visit, but the promoter said all sold off (Wao~~ so good sales mer?)

Look so classy. More morden and "IN" to him. I think he seldom buy brown shoes. All he love was black working shoes last time.


See the detail pattern of the shoe. Love it. How I wish they have a ladies version for that design.


Because of this shoe, he can't wear those working black pants to match the shoe. Ended up buying a new LEVI's Jeans for the Brand new Shoe. The Jeans cost: RM289.I never thought a jean will be such expensive. My LEVI's Jeans is just Canadian $30++. But he say, LEVI jeans price is around that price. Ended up spending more. But at least he have RM150 Isetan Voucher for rebate. Thanks for the Credit cards redemption.


Just a normal Jean's, why costing that much? Don't understand.

Within 1 hour, he have spend nearly RM500. RM500 I could use for maybe 3 months of shopping.

Look how beautiful I am?

How I wish I have these beautiful dress in my wedding.

Comfortable shoes

As I was injured on my foot early of this month, I hardly can wear any high heels, I'm wearing this Grendha Sandals that I brought early this year. This sandals is very lasting as it last already 6 months


Wanted a new shoe that I can wear stocking with. So went to Sungai Wang and manage to grab this sandals, just a classic one.



Once a while I will return to the place I buy the Grendha Sandals and have a look for new shoes and I kind of love this one -Grendha Vanilla. Plus maybe getting Crocs Prima as my mum have a Crocs beach that is very comfortable. But Crocs shoe are just way to high for my budget.

I'm now seeking more in confortable shoes rather then those good looking shoes which cause foot pain.

Bag maddness

I love bags, more that I love clothes.

When to take stock last weekend. Ended up buy more for myself.

For my first sight, I was in love with this bag. I choose the black color for this bag. It looks elegant but due to my poor camera quality, it looks not that nice. Was a hot item on the our shop and customer loves light pink and the white one the most. There is a sling belt stripe to allow me to use as a sling bag.


Another bag that I brought was this small cratch. White color. Wao~~ it is just very suitable for dinner or even wedding. I don't have this kind of dinner bag, so I grab one. This bag is very worth as it can be use as 3 use. The metal round handle can be remove and it will act as a cratch. With the metal round handle it will be a handbag. And there is a metal stripes for sling bag purpose. Available colors: black, white, sliver, copper.


Got this sling bag- pink color Adidas one too. Just love the colors. I'm taking it to work today.


This was the one suppose to be a present for my sister graduation, but ended up letting it go for the shop because the ready stock was sold for the first day.


Anyone interested, can visit the shop, or drop me a comment.
