CHATUCHAK WEEKEND MARKET

 1  With more that 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 plase 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 you purchases back to your hotel that way!

• When's a good time to visit?
• What can you buy there?

B Write a description of an interesting market. Use the model and your answers in Part A to help you.

The Farmer's Market is near my home. It's open every Saturday from 9:00 to 4:00. You can buy the best fruit and vegetables there. A good time to visit is late in the afternoon. It's not too budy then. You don't bargian at this market, but sometimes vendors lower their prices at the end of the day.
