Jatujak Park...Weekend market

This weekend I just went to Jatujak Park where I haven't set foot in for over 10 years. The transportation,nowadays, is very convenient for every shoppers and if I may suggest to take the MRT(the subway) or BTS(the sky train). To avoid the fight for the parking spaces which are very limited in number and all the hustlers who are looking at the opportunity to get the money from your car, I strongly recommend to take the public transports.
For the sky train, BTS, it will take you about 8 minutes walk to get into the market on the east side but for MRT, the subway, you can enter right into the heart of the market on the west side. Jatujak nowaday is expanding and it will take you more than one full day to explore. The market is divided into several sections. If you need to visit any particular section, just ask anyone there you will get the answer with a smile. The merchandises are in a large variety. It might be a little warm for the western people but there will be many shop that are equipped with air-conditioner. To prepare yourself, you need to bring along a cloth to wipe your sweat and a bottle of water in case you are thirsty.
The market will be the most busy during the weekend, especially on Saturday and Sunday afternoon. If you are going there more than 2 persons than you need to bring along your cell-phone in case you lose your party. In the center of the park, there is a clock tower which in the past you can spot it anywhere around the park but today, the shades and the canvas roof have shielded this landmark from your eyesight.
Most of the merchandises sold here has the reasonable price but you can negotiate. The merchants in the park are keen to sell their products and if the price you offered is not too offensive, you will get your deals and it might be the best deals in town.
During lunch time, there are many food stalls but the cleanliness may not up to the standard of the western people. If you don't want to risk your health with the diarrhea then you may take a bus and travel to the nearest shopping center called Central Lard Prow where you can find a very clean and better service than the one in the park. About the toilet facility, there are several places scattered around the park. You only need to ask any person who works there.
So I just wish all of you a very good time and enjoy shopping at the park.
