Chatuchak Weekend Market

1 With more than 15,000 shops and 200,000 visitors every Saturday and Sunday,
Bangkok’s Chatuchak Weekend Market is a popular place with visitors to Thailand.
You can find plants, flowers, music, jewelry, clothes, food, and even animals!

2 The market is a great place to find bargains, and prices are generally low. Most
people bargain, but some don’t, so don’t worry if you don’t want to bargain. Just go
with a friendly smile and have enough cash in your pocket. There are ATMs for cash,
but they are difficult to find, and many vendors don’t take credit cards. The market
is huge, and many people walk in circles, even with a map. Don’t try to see it all in
one day!

3 The market is open from 8:00 to 6:00 Saturday and Sunday. It’s good to get there
early, before it gets too busy. Wear light, comfortable clothing and bring a bottle of
water. And for lunch, try some of Thailand’s famous snacks, such as fried scorpions!

4 The market is very easy to get to. It’s only a five minute walk from Mo Chit station on
Bangkok’s Skytrain. Many people come by train but leave by taxi. It’s easier to get
your purchases back to your hotel that way!

B. Read the webpage again. Find the words in bold, and check ( ) the correct meaning.
