The Weekend Market in Bangkok, Thailand, is an interesting experience. You can buy anything there. I eventually bought a dress, but a large variety of goods is yours for the taking if you are interested.
There are animals for pets, and to eat, whatever suits your fancy. The smell of food left in the sun (with flies all over it) was less than appetizing, in my opinion. There were bugs to eat, chicken, squid; pets included rabbits, dogs, snakes. You want it, it's there. There are buddha statues, ornaments, clothing, rugs, furniture. If you can't find what you are looking for at the Weekend Market, then you have a problem.
There is pandemonium and confusion everywhere. It is loud. It smells. It takes a few hours to go through, because it is spread out over a really large area, with stalls in neat rows, yet it is a maze. It is very easy to get lost. My mom did not buy a pair of shorts that she wanted when she had the chance. We tried to find the stall again. No luck. We were lost.
If you are ever in Bangkok, definitely go to the Weekend Market if you have a chance. You will come home with stories to tell!
