Chatuchak being regarded as a huge market is no understatement! It's large size makes it very confusing, a tight maze of hundreds (probably thousands) of stalls and shops. There is signposting detailing individual sections (home to certain crafts and items) which are broken down further into avenues ('soi's'), but to be honest it's not very helpful and I think getting 'lost' is the best way to go about enjoying the visit. The prices are good as well, we have visited many markets during our trip to SE Asia but a lot now target tourists making prices increase, higher than what true 'local' markets would charge, but at Chatuchak, from what I observed, it was alright. I purchased a decent quality key ring for 15 baht (less than 50 pence). Location-wise it is very easy to find if getting the BTS to Mo Chit station; just follow the signs to exit number 1. I would certainly go there again if visiting across the weekend.
