GEO Reportage - Bangkok: Chatuchak, der Riesenmarkt

Bangkok – Thailands Hauptstadt, größter Handelsplatz in Südostasien und Shoppingparadies. Doch die Metropole am Chao Praya hat mehr zu bieten als Tempel und riesige Malls. Mit über 15.000 Ständen und Läden ist der Chatuchak-Markt der größte Asiens. Allein an einem Verkaufstag strömen bis zu 300.000 Besucher durch die mit Wellblech überdachten Gänge.

#Animallovers demand permanent closure of #Chatuchak pet market
"The inferno tt gutted the animals at e market underlines one big problem: the complete lack of safety standards. The current market thrives on #impulsepurchases driven by #trends, leading to overcrowding, carelessness, & ultimately, animal suffering.. Many people acquire #pets based on fleeting trends, not genuine love & commitment. This lack of #commitment is a major reason behind e rise in #petabandonment"

Went to a garden park and played #frisbee today. It had been a while but some good throws and catches were had. Then wandered down to some shops and #markets at #Chatuchak There was a pet market there but it made me feel a bit sad to see sugar gliders, skinks, lizards, meerkats and capybaras for sale 😭 #Bangkok #FieldTrip #UrbanExplorer
1956, present-day #Chatuchak, not far from my #Bangkok neighborhood. Until the late 80s, this wasn’t a common sight for me in the city. After it rains, water had a place to go, to nourish. Not anymore.

Will you see anything cuter today than a #Thai grandmother in a #cannabis print t-shirt serving portions of a massive #paella to an American #tourist while a bust of #Faulkner wearing a red velvet fedora looks on?

I THINK NOT!

(Taken in #Chatuchak Market, the world's largest ourdoor #market, where you can wander the sprawling aisles for hours. For me, this photo is Chatuchak compressed into a single frame. So much going on!)
