Aside from Thai food, which I love and have not been able to have much of it when going out to eat with a toddler, the highlight of the trip was the visit to Jatujak. Sure it was hot, it was quite crowded, and the market place was so big that you can walk the entire day visiting each stall and not finish. But it was a lot of fun to shop at Jatujak...surprisingly more fun than my shopping trip afterwards at the Siam Paragon. I started early to beat the post-lunch crowd (it gets even more crazy after lunch), and with the help of Ms. Pornphan from the Sylvanian Families World facebook group, I was able to zero-in and locate the miniatures stalls within the spacious weekend market.
I had the opportunity to go to Bangkok recently with the hubby, and this time we did not take our little girl along for the holiday. So, yes! I would be able to go to Jatujak weekend market (imagine dragging a toddler through a crowded market and expecting her to stay by your side while you shift through items to buy), and hunt for some miniature dollhouse items which my Sylvanians can use. I was lucky enough to arrive in Bangkok by Saturday evening, which meant that I can still go to Jatujak on Sunday since the weekend market is, well, closed during weekdays.

Missbunny also travelled with me to Bangkok. Here is a picture of her with a miniature mahjong set that I bought from the market. After one try, Missbunny concluded that she like playing mahjong.

Hi Zoe, there are many miniature shops in the market. A fellow collector had recommended to go to section 20 to 19, but I must admit that I did get lost looking for the section. The shops selling miniatures are not in one row....they are tucked here and there in between other shops. I stumbled over some miniature shops at section 13 as well. If you have the time, just be patient and browse around from the said sections.

About MeI like to experiment with photography and dabble in crafty things. I started collecting Sylvanian Families in 2009 and hope that someday my little daughter will enjoy playing and collecting Sylvanian Families as much as I do. Archives
