Every local and tourist shopaholic is guaranteed to have a ball at the sprawling Chatuchak Weekend Market in Bangkok. Considered a shopping paradise and one of the world's largest markets, it boasts of over 15,000 stalls divided into 30 sections, covering more than 11 hectares.
Chatuchak Weekend Market garners over 200,000 visitors every weekend, hawking just about any knickknack and goodie you can imagine: snacks, vegetables, fruits, flowers, ceramics, clothing, plants, jewellery, books, handicrafts, antiques, accessories, souvenirs, and so much more.
Fashion Guide
Fashionistas of all sorts will have the time of their lives at Chatuchak Weekend Market, as it has just about any fashion item one can think of, from quirky and boho fashion, streetwear and subculture trends, and swimwear and children's clothes to timeless and fun accessories and jewellery, footwear, as well as beautiful textiles like silk.
Here are the specific sections you should check out at the market if you're after fashion items, according to this map from Prepare Travel Plans.

Sections 2, 3, 4, 5, 6: Teen clothing, accessories, used clothing, shoes
Sections 12, 14, 21-24: Clothing, accessories, bags, and shoes
Sections 16, 17, 18: Clothing, hiking equipment, and leather goods
Sections 25 and 26: Silk textiles, ceramics, antiques
Selected parts of the market are open during the week for the public. If you plan to go to this shoppers' haven from Wednesday and Thursday, 7 AM to 6 PM, be apprised that only its plant market is open. On Fridays, expect to find the greatest deals as it sells wholesale items on this day, from 6 AM to 12 PM. The entire market is open on Saturday and Sunday, from 9 AM to 6 PM.
It can get very hot and crowded in the mid-day and afternoon, so it is recommended to visit Chatuchak Market in the early morning. Since it also covers so much ground, one is recommended to allot at least half a day at the market to really get a good look at what it has to offer, or three hours for a brief sweep.
Don't Be Shy to Barter
Bartering is common in the country, so don't be afraid of haggling with the vendors in the market for the best price. Smiling and being kind can go a long way, but don't hesitate to walk away and look at other shops if you feel unsure of the price given to you. Visit other stalls in search of better deals and return to your past stalls to renegotiate with the vendors.
What to Wear
Anticipate getting sweaty and grimy throughout your trip to Chatuchak Market. Keep comfortable by wearing proper shoes or sneakers, and breezy clothing perfect for humid weather.
Sunhats and sunglasses are optional, but sunscreen is a major must.
Avoid bulky totes so as not to weigh yourself down; bring a small purse with you, like a sling bag, to carry your essentials and cash.
How to Get There
You can reach Chatuchak Weekend Market via Skytrain (BTS), taxi, the Metropolitan Rapid Transit (MRT), tuk tuk, and the bus.
Skytrain
When taking the Skytrain, get off at (N8) Mo Chit Station (Sukhumvit Line) and take exit no. 1 from there. As you leave the station, you will happen on rows of canvas stalls. It is advised to follow the crowds until you come across the small entrance of the market's clothing station.
Taxi
Taxis can be a bit on the pricey side, but if you don't mind spending the extra cash, then it's a simple and convenient ride to the market. It's advised to go by the metre, so you can have a standard fare travelling to and from the market.
To avoid terrible Bangkok traffic, you can take a toll road to shorten your journey by 30 minutes to an hour, depending on where you're coming from. This will cost you around THB100 or a little over.
Tip your driver once you arrive at the market! If your taxi driver offers to fetch you later on from your shopping, take down their information so you can easily find them afterwards.
MRT
Getting to Chatuchak Market via MRT is too easy. Get on the most central and common stop, Silom, and ride it out to Chatuchak Park. From there, walk for about two minutes to Entrance 2 of the market. Travelling from Silom to Chatuchak Park will cost an adult around TH40.
Tuk Tuk
The tuk tuk can be a novel ride to the weekend market. Be warned though that tuk tuks don't have a metre inside and, since it's a novelty to tourists, can be more expensive. Make sure you barter for your tuk tuk fare and expect to pay around THB100 to THB350 if you're coming from central Bangkok.
Bus
Getting to Chatuchak via MRT and Skytrain is considered the most cost- effective, but you can also ride the bus to get to the shopping haven, especially if you're coming from Khao San Road.
From Khao San, get on bus number 524 or 3 to get to the market. Fares cost about THB20 and the ride from Khao San can take you 30 to 60 minutes depending on the traffic.

“At PIPATCHARA, we call ourselves ‘fashion for community.’”
Transforming waste into craft is truly an art in itself. As we appreciate these remarkable creations, we must acknowledge the artisans behind them — PIPATCHARA.
Founded in 2018 by Bangkok-based sisters Pipatchara “Petch” and Jittrinee “Tubtim” Kaeojinda, this innovative fashion label has redefined style through a unique commitment to sustainability. The brand quickly garnered attention in the Thai fashion industry, making a significant impact with the launch of its inaugural collection.
Starting their fashion journey with a passion for macramé, Pipatchara has incorporated this signature element to create hand-knotted patterns using recycled materials, and their “Thea” basket bags exemplify this creativity. The brand gained significant attention when Lalisa Manobal wore a stunning custom-made outfit at the 2024 F1 Monaco Grand Prix. This two-piece ensemble, composed of 1,800 pieces of recycled plastic waste — including gold bottle caps and plastic containers — embodied the label’s avant-garde vision and environmental consciousness.
Pipatchara’s unique creations not only make bold fashion statements but also challenge the conventional notions of what fashion is, prompting deeper reflections on its significance and impact in today’s world.

The brand not only transforms waste into creative products but also supports artisanal craftsmanship and generates income for local communities. When PIPATCHARA introduced the macramé knotting technique, they collaborated with artisans from various Thai communities to create eco-conscious and aesthetically pleasing products. Additionally, they began focusing on using recycled plastic waste, such as marine debris, plastic bottle caps, food containers, and more.
PIPATCHARA has received acclaim from fashion aficionados and has made a significant impression at prestigious events such as Dubai Fashion Week and London Fashion Week. As the brand continues to craft distinctive pieces for women and explore innovative creative avenues, it's also expanding its focus to include men’s fashion.
Following a series of successful collaborations with notable brands such as Thai Airways, Nestlé, Swarovski, Shokubutsu, and Kimpton Maa-Lai Bangkok, PIPATCHARA has recently partnered with Grey Goose to host an exclusive event titled “On the Guestlist.” This collaboration also marks the launch of limited-edition, sustainable, unisex bags crafted from 100% recycled fishnets and canvas.
The Beat Asia spoke with Pipatchara “Petch” Kaeojinda to discuss the brand’s target audience, how it has achieved significant international presence, her perspective on sustainability, and her approach to working with local artisans in creating collaborative pieces.

PIPATCHARA's endeavor to establish a community-driven fashion brand is led by Kaeojinda sisters Petch and Tubtim. Although the duo possesses distinct passions, both are fundamentally rooted in art and craftsmanship. Their core mission is to intertwine high-end fashion with sustainability, empower their community, and highlight intricate artisanal craftsmanship.
”We started in 2018 as a ‘fashion for community,’ [because] we want the community to be involved in our creations. My sister has worked closely with the community and is deeply committed to sustainability, like she has that ‘kind of heart,’ and she's really into it,” Petch explained.
While Tubtim specializes in sustainability, Petch serves as the Head Creative Director and Co-Founder of PIPATCHARA, embodying the brand's creative vision. Prior to establishing her label, Petch earned her degrees in Fashion Design from the Academy of Art in San Francisco and was honored with a prestigious accolade from École de la Chambre Syndicale de la Couture Parisienne. Following her graduation, she gained experience at renowned fashion houses such as Ralph Lauren in New York, Chloé, Anessa Bruno, and Givenchy in Paris. Upon returning to Bangkok, she took on a designer role at Jaspal. Petch's journey has been a remarkable one, from learning the local language in Paris to acquiring hands-on skills.
“I feel like everything is about the learning point. For me, I felt so fortunate to work at those big houses because it was my goal since I was a kid,” she reflected.
Dreaming big and making her dreams a reality has always been Petch's strategy, a focus she maintained for 10 to 12 years.
“I worked really hard. It wasn't easy at all, but I dedicated everything I had to secure an internship at Ralph Lauren. They offered a scholarship to study in Paris, and I seized that opportunity. The path to achieving my goals has been long and challenging, but it’s been worth it.”
"I brought that hard work and experience into my company. I genuinely felt like I was starting from scratch, but I wasn't afraid of it. I never expected that PIPATCHARA would grow this quickly," she shared.
With a deep passion for craftsmanship and a commitment to community collaboration (such as all the weavers and teachers involved), PIPATCHARA reflects Petch's dedication and expertise.
From Bottles to Bags: The Transformative Journey

PIPATCHARA’s first creation, the macramé strap Sama Box bag, had set a high standard for niche products. Customers were eager to purchase something different, rather than items that were already widely available. The most valuable aspect of this journey has been the feedback from customers and how PIPATCHARA adapted its collection based on their input, especially during the first two to three years.
“They want to buy something unique that you can’t find anywhere else. People often ask, ‘Where is it from?’ These were my original customers who genuinely appreciated our brand, and their feedback helped us grow and develop our offerings," shared Petch.
Petch beautifully articulated that the true architects of the brand's expanding presence are its customers and the audience they engage.
“I feel that our customers are becoming more prominent as their voices reach a wider audience. When they talk about us, it creates a ripple effect,” she explained. “The reason we’ve become a brand that people discuss is not merely because a particular piece is outstanding. Instead, what really matters is that conversations about our brand are spreading through word of mouth. As a result, people have started to explore PIPATCHARA and engage in discussions about the brand.”
Crafting Sustainability: The Role of Thoughtful Design in Pipatchara's Success
Petch highlights that PIPATCHARA's commitment to sustainability has been ingrained from the very inception of the brand.
"I love leather; I can't work a day without it. However, I told my sister that leather is not a sustainable material. A certain percentage of chemicals is needed to process it; otherwise, it won't be true leather. My sister explained that the way we engage with the community is how we grow. Sustainability isn’t just about the materials used; it’s also about the long-term relationships we build with individuals and communities," expressed Petch.

When it comes to sustainability, PIPATCHARA emphasizes the meticulous processes involved in crafting each piece.
“The way we engage with our customers and the community remains consistent. If you see each collection, it features art and craftsmanship because we go up north to teach local artisans how to create these pieces. My sister describes our approach to sustainability as building a community that we collaborate with every season. We’ve been doing this for about eight years, and it’s something we’re very proud of. Not easy though, but something we're proud of.”

Petch shared that collaboration on the Thai Airways project serves as a prime example of their innovative approach to ideas and concepts.
“We had this plastic cap that we didn't know how to use, and I was determined to figure it out. It was my passion to do something meaningful because it was something I wanted to touch, see, and feel every day.”
When individuals consult Pipatchara about the potential for recycling certain materials, the initial step involves a thorough evaluation of those materials.
“I consider the brand and think about the value it will provide afterward. I believe that when you collaborate with a local brand, it's essential to create value or contribute positively to the partnership. Otherwise, it’s just business. Working with local brands allows us to expand our impact and create goodness not only for ourselves but also for their brands.”

“My sister insists that we avoid using new plastic or defective pieces from the factory. Instead, we should utilize materials that have already been discarded, particularly household waste. In our first month, we were able to create only 30 pieces, as that's all the trash we could find, especially in attractive colors like purple or pink.”
Pipatchara has numerous avenues for acquiring materials, yet they opt to source waste rather than engage with flawed items.
“Another example is our collaboration with Shokubotsu, where we set up a machine for people to return bottles. This way, we can recycle the materials. However, because we rely on trash, we can't produce a full collection as we don't have enough trash — supply is limited.”
At the end of the process, we typically produce about eight bags, while the rest consists of dresses. It may sound unusual, but this part of the operation can be quite challenging because, honestly, we sometimes struggle to gather enough materials. As a result, customers either have to wait for their orders or we implement a pre-order system.
On the global front, PIPATCHARA has been displaying its innovative designs at prominent fashion events in cities such as Paris, New York, London, and Dubai, thereby elevating the profile of Thai sustainable fashion on the world stage. Petch mentioned that they are seeking a market or audience that genuinely appreciates the story behind the brand and its concept. The ultimate goal is not merely to generate profit but to engage people in understanding what the brand represents and what it aims to achieve.
In June 2025, PIPATCHARA hosted a fashion show at the Sea Life Aquarium in Siam Paragon, partnering with UBE Group (Thailand) for their "AQUA-R-US" collection. This project was dedicated to transforming discarded fishing nets into sustainable, eco-friendly fashion, aiming to repurpose marine waste into high-quality nylon and create elegant apparel and accessories.
When PIPATCHARA decided to use leftover fishing nets to add value to them, Grey Goose expressed interest in collaborating.
“We have been in discussions with Grey Goose Moments for about eight to nine months. We talked extensively about the project. It needed to be unisex and versatile. This was the first time we ventured into men’s fashion. Imagine transforming fishing nets that people no longer wanted into something viable, rather than just perceived as trash. This is precisely what Grey Goose was looking for in our collaboration.”
Infinitude Bag | Courtesy of PIPATCHARA
When asked about the standout pieces from the collection, Petch highlighted one of her favorites, the Infinitude bag, an innovative creation that transforms recycled materials into wearable art.
“I love that people appreciate the plastic version of the Infinitude bag. I truly value those who love it and the discussions it has sparked. I also adore the pieces that incorporate jade.”
Working with the community is essential for Pipatchara, and thus, they continue offering their macramé collection. Some community members find it easier to work with rope rather than plastic, leading to a distinct approach in their craftsmanship. This year, they have introduced more pieces to further support and sustain these vital community ties.
When discussing PIPATCHARA's sustainability values — such as durability and thoughtful design — Petch emphasizes the crucial influence customers had in shaping the brand's identity. For instance, enthusiasts have engaged with their artwork crafted from Yakult probiotic bottles, contributing to the Infinitude piece, as well as the Singha bottles utilized in the Transformation Bag.
“I believe the experience allows customers to learn a great deal about each piece. It's not just about me presenting them; it's about the customers connecting with the items they carry. And that's the essence of it. That was my main focus when considering the marketing strategies for PIPATCHARA.”

These kicks rock a fresh gray and green color combo, inspired by the wonderfully nostalgic Japanese concept of Natsukashii.
The Gel-Kayano 12.1 fuses iconic elements from the original version that dropped in 2006 with a modern twist. The upper design takes cues from European Gothic armor, flaunting its bold, structural, metallic vibe — while the open mesh underlays keep things breezy for your feet. If you’re a fan of the Gel-Nimbus 17, you’ll love the midsole, which features the same comfort-boosting tooling system that’s made for those marathon moments. These eye-catching sneakers are just the ticket, whether you’re sprinting on the track or rocking that army green style.
Autumn colors bring a warm and cozy vibe, don’t they? The New Balance 997 Made in USA “Dried Apricot” is like a cheerful shout-out to fall, making it an instant favorite for sneaker enthusiasts and a cool dad shoe. The 997 has always held a special spot in the Made in USA collection, and this release continues that legacy with flair. The palette includes deep browns paired with the fiery reds, oranges, and yellows of changing leaves. The classic mix of premium suede and mesh on the New Balance 99x models is just perfect for making those crunchy leaves sing beneath your feet during crisp, weather-changing strolls.
This 997 delivers a fun, “dried peaches and cream” energy that’s hard to resist. Featuring a playful mix of hairy suede on the collar and luxurious pig suede on the mudguard and sidewalls, this sneaker flaunts rich Apricot and Calcium tones. Plus, the signature ENCAP and C-CAP midsole tooling is still there to provide that sweet support and cushioning.
If you’ve been on the hunt for a cool pair of sneakers to elevate your skateboarding game, you’re in luck because the highly anticipated shoes have just been released. The Nike SB skate division has taken the iconic Air Max 95 and flipped it into a kickflip-ready thrasher while keeping its classic, chunky vibe intact. That’s right — the bubble-soled Nike Air Max 95, a legend in sneaker culture, is now rocking the skate scene.
This stellar SB Air Max 95 has been crafted under the watchful eye of none other than Nike collaborator Eric Koston, who’s put a fresh spin on the classic design just in time for the shoe’s 30th anniversary celebration. It features a vibrant "Speed Yellow" mesh base, and the lacing system is topped off with a crisp "Summit White" mesh overlay. The sidewalls are decked out in layers of "Obsidian" suede and "Midnight Navy" nubuck, giving it a stylish edge. To top it all off, blue leather wraps around the toebox, complete with “Nike” stamped in Thai script — a nod to Koston’s heritage.
LaMelo Ball and PUMA have just dropped a fresh sneaker, the LaFrancé RNR Flare, straight from his unique lifestyle brand. This eye-catching design is all about Ball's personal flair, making it fit for adventures outdoors and stylish enough for everyday life. The first “Flare” colorway rocks a warm brown palette, sprinkled with cool topographic prints on the mesh underlays. There's a LaFrancé logo popping up by the eyestays, while the classic PUMA logo makes its mark on the heel of the midsole.
After the massive buzz around the “Flare” edition, PUMA is also rolling out the LaFrancé RNR “Reflection,” which is now available worldwide and will be hitting stores in Bangkok soon.
If you’re a die-hard Wicked fan, you'll definitely want to snag the new Wicked x Puma Speedcat OG sneakers. This fun collection celebrates the musical’s iconic characters and timeless story. There are three fancy colorways to choose from: the Wicked x Puma Speedcat OG “Glinda,” the Wicked x Puma Speedcat OG “Elphaba,” and the enchanting Wicked x Puma Speedcat OG “Silver Slipper.”
The “Elphaba” Speedcat captures the fierce spirit of the musical’s beloved anti-heroine, featuring a striking gothic style with black uppers adorned with dimensional ruffles, along with electrifying green foil stitching for a daring pop. On the other hand, the "Glinda" edition is all about whimsical femininity. Think soft pinks and lilacs, embellished with frills, sparkling crystals, and delicate embroidery. And finally, the “Silver Slipper” Speedcat Ballet shines like a star, drawing inspiration from Dorothy’s magical shoes with metallic uppers, playful spiral stitch lines, and three glitzy straps.

If you’re in Bangkok, or planning a visit soon, there’s one glittering stop you won’t want to miss. Global design house Tiffany & Co. has unveiled its first-ever exhibition in Thailand, 'Legendary Legacy,' now open at One Bangkok, Tower 4, until September 7. It’s a rare opportunity to step inside the world of Jean Schlumberger, the visionary designer whose fantastical creations helped define Tiffany’s identity in the 20th century.

The exhibition unfolds across five immersive galleries, each themed around Schlumberger’s inspirations, from the lush tropics of Guadeloupe to the depths of the sea and the symbolism of flight. More than 50 archival pieces are on display, including the whimsical Elephant Head Clip and the vibrant Big Bird Clip, both showcasing Schlumberger’s signature blend of surrealism and technical brilliance.

But nothing catches more attention than the 128.54-carat Tiffany Diamond does, which is presented in its fifth and newest setting. “Discovered over 150 years ago, this extraordinary 128.54-carat stone is one of the largest and most important yellow diamonds in the world,” wrote the house on its social media.
Inspired by Schlumberger’s iconic Bird on a Rock brooch, the design features five diamond-encrusted birds in flight, encircling the radiant yellow gem. The piece took nearly 2,000 hours to complete, a testament to Tiffany’s unmatched craftsmanship.
Also featured are highlights from Tiffany’s Blue Book 2025: Sea of Wonder collection, which reimagines oceanic beauty through abstract and figurative designs.

Admission is free to the public until September 7, and visitors can register via Tiffany’s exhibition site or through the brand’s official LINE account. Whether you’re a jewelry enthusiastic, a design lover, or simply seeking a moment of glittering wonder, Legendary Legacy offers a rare glimpse into the artistry behind one of the world’s most iconic luxury houses.
