Abstract

The development of Thai flea markets was classified into two categories: interval sequence and community lifestyle. Interval sequence was divided into parts: 1) from Pa-Sarn market to Sanamluang market, 2) Sanamluaang market, 3) Jatujak market and 4) markets after the economic crisis in 1997. Community lifestyle was divided into three parts:1) lifestyle and physical evidence, 2) city community lifestyle: the relationship between fresh marlets and flea markets and 3) walking street markets.
