Also included in this park is the Train Museum. You can get to this area by the Sukhumvit line Sky Train to Mo Chit. Or using the underground rail link you can get off at Mo Chit Bang Sue or Kamphaeng Phet.
The Queen Sirikit Park is a botanical garden built to honour the Queen's 60th birthday in 1992. It was formally opened in December 1996. Some of the plants collected in the garden include hibiscus, plumeria and palms. Within the park compound is the Children's Museum. The park is located behind Chatuchak weekend market parking lot.
The Wachirabenchathat Park is the biggest and newest park of the complex. It was called State Railway Public Park but was renamed in July 2002 to honour HRH Crown Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn's 50th birthday. It contains a butterfly park and the tallest fountain in Thailand.
Suan Lum Night Bazaar Ratchada or Ratchada Night Bazaar is a market stall shopping mall and open air market currently under construction in Bangkok's Chatuchak District, at the intersection of Ladprao Rd. and Ratchadaphisek Rd, at the Bangkok Metro's Lat Phrao Station. Located on land owned by the State Railway of Thailand, it will open its first phase in 2014. It is a mixed use development. On completion the mall part will be the world's longest in length stretching 1.5 kilometres. The current Suan Lum Night Bazaar next to Lumphini Park in Bangkok will cease trading when the lease expires. It is expected to draw the same number of visitors as the present Suan Lum Night Bazaar around 15,000–18,000 visitors a day of which 4,000 are foreigners. Total investment in this project is about 2.4 billion Baht.
The district is sub divided into five sub districts ( Kwaeng ). 1. Lat Yao 2. Sena Nikhom 3. Chan Kasem
4. Chom Phon 5. Chatuchak
The most well known site in the district is the Chatuchak Weekend Market, the largest market in Thailand. Some say in the world, I can’t dispute that it is huge, and you can easily spend all day here. However be warned its very tiring so don’t forget plenty of fluids to keep you hydrated. The crowds are a nightmare. It can take you ages to walk relatively short distances if you get, crowds in front of you in the narrow passageways. Northwest of the weekend market is another market, Chatuchak Plaza selling clothes and many other products. Across the Kamphang Phet Road is Or Tor Kor Market belonging to The Marketing Organization for Farmers offering fresh agriculture product and food.
Various Bus Services can be used to get to Chatuchak market
