But if you’re coming from the Bukit Bintang MRT or monorial, take the escalator or lift from the ground floor up to the 4th floor.

Grab a quick bite before starting the self-walking tour in the market.

Most parts of the market have sheltered walkways, so you can shop under protection from the sun and the rain. In the covered sections, you can find stalls that sell flowers, spices, clothes, and more.

Not to be missed for the gram is the clock tower in the middle of Chatuchak Market.

After a long walk around the market, it’s time to cool down from the heat. Why not end the journey with coconut ice cream!
