If Chatuchak and Pratunam are royalties when it comes to Bangkok’s traditional markets, there’s a growing cohort of younger, more rebellious options. Leading the pack is ChangChui Creative Park, also known as Plane Market for one obvious reason—a decommissioned L-1011 TriStar Lockheed airplane sitting in the center.

Cheapest Markets in Bangkok
“Don’t believe all the articles you read online,” said Nick, head of the travel desk at Samsen Street Hotel, where I stayed on the last leg of my two-week Thailand trip. “If you really want to know where the cheapest shopping areas are, just ask the locals, like me,” he cheerfully said.

I Klooked My Way Around Taipei
With only four days in Taipei with my mom and auntie (before going solo around Taiwan for 10 more days), my goal was to take them to as many places as possible—not just within Taipei, but neighboring cities.

Foreigners’ Survival Guide To Divisoria
I love Divisoria, Manila’s popular commercial center for bargain goods. It’s true what they say that you’ll find almost everything you need there for the lowest price. I go there several times a year, for both business and personal shopping. If you’re a foreign tourist curious about this place despite all the stories you’ve heard—the […]
Quirk of the Month: Fort Greene Flea Finds
One of Brooklyn’s several flea markets, Fort Greene runs every Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., from spring to fall in Lafeyette Avenue. Part vintage bazaar, part town square, and part food market, Fort Greene is a hipster’s paradise. With rows upon rows of old clocks, retro gadgets, typewriters, and wooden crates, I was itching […]
So Long, International Market Place
By the end of January, Waikiki’s International Market Place will be demolished to make way for a three-story Saks Fifth Avenue Mall. Like Hawaiian locals and travelers who have come to love this place, I felt immediate sadness and nostalgia after hearing about the impending closure. It was one of the favorite places I visited […]
