All fans of Bangkok’s Chatuchak Market, listen up. This is the news you’ve been waiting for: the famous weekend market from will be in Singapore in 2020!

This is great news because if flying to Bangkok is not possible in the near future for you due to work or family commitments, you can still enjoy it on our sunny island for a limited period of time.

Chatuchak Weekend Market Singapore will happen from 04 Feb to 03 May 2020. 3 whole months of good food and shopping awaits!

Chatuchak Weekend Market, for the uninitiated, is Bangkok’s most popular outdoor market that spans across acres of land. It takes place every weekend and you can find anything and everything there—from food to clothes, homeware to furniture…

Chatuchak Weekend Market is a perennial favourite among visitors to Bangkok, and it is one that draws Singaporeans to Bangkok too. Bustling is an understatement; and we hope the pop-up in Singapore will not disappoint.

From 04 Feb to 03 May 2020, the Market will be held at The Grandstand in Turf Club and the organizer has, thus far, promised over 200 stalls including food, retail and services vendors. These would include vendors that will fly in from Thailand—a true taste of the Land of Smiles; aren’t you already stoked?

There will be over 1,000 vendors on rotation across the period, and you can expect an eclectic mix of food, shopping and services. How does Thai massage sound?

We are just hoping that the stalls will not be the same ones at Artbox / Geylang Serai Market / Shihlin-inspired Night Market in Singapore.

Whether you are still schooling or working, one thing that you will be able to agree on is how precious weekends are. Be it a day spent on paying back your sleep debt or a day of shopping in town, why not spend it on a deck chair on in the pool or the sea at a beach club instead?

Keeping in mind that there are only 2 days of the weekend, you need to spend it right. There is no time to waste in getting that golden tan and there could be no better way to laze the weekend away.

Here are 14 Best Beach Clubs In Singapore You Should Spend Your Weekends At. You deserve this weekend break!
