If you are looking for a hand-crafted sword then you've come to the right place.
Likewise if you are seeking some cheap T-shirts, western-style leather boots or a plate of paella.
Or, for that matter, penis-shaped corkscrews.
The weekend market at Chatuchak Park in Bangkok is one of the world's most famous street markets - and deservedly so. It is also one of the largest.
You'll find everything here from hand-made shoes to banana smoothies; antiques to artworks - all just a short metro ride from downtown Bangkok.
The vibe is uniquely Thai: the visitors from around the globe.
Chatuchak is open Friday nights, Saturday and Sunday. It is hot, busy and irresistible.
I hope you enjoy these pictures of some of the sights and people that populate Chatuchak and make it such fun.
