Daryl,
I tried to reply to your mail in the Private Message but seemed that I had trouble sending it.
For fish lover, best to go there either on Thursday or Friday as the new stock arrives on Thursday 6 am.

Hi Ongart..

Thanks for the reply. Strangely i got your PM but it did not contain any reply from you. Just my quoted text.

Thanks..

Hey no worries Ongart.

I did went to JJ market. Went there on a saturday. Nothing much there that I wanted except for some rare Badis. But a good thing i didn't buy anything back cause when i was at Suvarnabhumi airport they didn't allow any container with water to pass the custom. Hmmm...i wonder if anyone else faced the same situation?

I went to Seri Center as well. Aquamarts is a small shop in the Aquatina zone on the third floor. The Aquatina zone is like an area where they have variety of aqua products and livestocks for sale from marine to freshwater. Imagine a mini Aquarama. When i was there some of the booths were still empty but so far nothing much that you can't find in the lfs in Singapore.

Did not check out Pladee because they're not stocking anything at the moment.

I think liquid is still a no-no for hand carry but it should be okay if the stuff are checked in.

Good question. Frankly I don't know cos I never bother to ask as there seem to be plenty of supply all the time. Sorry.

At JJ Mall which is an air cond 3 storey building, it opens 7 day a week for these items. But if your gf is a serious buyer & has a degree in Negotiation Skills, perhaps she should try to shop during a w/e at shops outside the JJ Mall. Hope this helps.

**samhon** · 29th Apr 2008, 08:43

erm i am not refering to JJ Mall,

how about the chajujat weekend market? is it open on weekdays now?

**inimicus** · 29th Apr 2008, 12:42

I went on a Thursday at about 2pm and majority of the clothing shops seem to be close. I only see plants and pets and some shops that sell paintings open.

Freshwater plants will be arriving generally on sundays. For the regular plants it is thursdays.

And another thing is; besides JJ market' there is another market which is also open 7 days a week. It's at Puttamonton Sai 3. If you tell the taxi driver like that they will take u there. It is a bit outside the city center but worth to see.

JJ Mall, some spells Chatuchak to make sure the Spaniard pronounces it correctly, where I think your gf should walk through as merchandises are of better grade than those available at Chatuchak w/e market next door.
Re The opening of Chatuchak w/e mkt, no it doesn't open on w/ds, strictly w/e only. Got it ?

**illumnae** · 30th Apr 2008, 16:33

i'm confused

so what's open on weekdays and what's not?

Hi Illumnae,
I supposed what was meant was that. Chatuchak/Jatujak area has both areas which opens daily and parts only on weekend. What i gathered is that, there is a JJ mall next to the compound of the JJ market. While this mall is open daily, the surrounding 'pasam malam' styled stalls (the real deal) only operate only weekends.

even wikipedia has something on JJ Mall.. amazing
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JJ_Mall

and the famous one..with opening hours too.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chatuchak_Weekend_Market

Hope it is accurate.

Cheers!
