Trip to Chatuchak

Also known as JJ markets, Chatuchak (Jatujak) is the outdoor shopping extravaganza that covers over 35 acres! With over 8,000 market stalls there’s bound to be a bargain to be had as you filter your way through the thick crowd, all the while checking out the freaks (seriously, there’s a guy covered in tattoos and piercings, with a mohawk and pictures of him with naked ladies at one stall?).

The girlfriend and i decided to give it a look the other weekend and see what we could find. We also met up with Matt Lucus from Mymuaythai.com for our freaky adventure. Have a look at the photo’s to see what we found.

Dave finds what could be the most perfect souvenir for the family

We find a street performance that is part Rocky Horror Show part electric boogaloo.

Born in Australia, training in martial arts since the age of 9. My first trip to Thailand was back in 2007. Since then i have made numerous visits back to the "land of smiles" to feed my addiction of Muay Thai. During the month of November in 2010 i had to decide between working a 9 to 5 job back home for the rest of my life, or sell all my worldly possessions and move to Thailand to live and train for the next few years. Thankfully i chose the latter. I now spend my time training Muay Thai, meeting new and interesting circles of people, sipping coconuts under palm trees on the beach and measuring the cost of everything on how much Pad Thai i could buy with that money.
