By On February 23, 2010 · 3 Comments

WHAT/WHERE
This video focuses on the people that populate the Chatuchak weekend market, which is known as the largest of it`s kind in the world.

NETWORK CONNECTION

Bangkok, just the name conjures images of backpacking lore. Bangkok is the crossroads of Southeast Asia and a good place to meet fellow travelers and plot your escape from the metropolis. Despite the reputation of Bangkok as a backpacker paradise of unfettered debauchery, there is much to do and see besides staying up all night drinking.
What is your favorite memory of Bangkok?

    Great video, but I gotta be honest – the weekend market is one of my least favorite places in the world. I don’t like shopping, or crowds.
