Artbox Bangkok

This is a great night market for original locally designed and made stuff. Ideal for new gift ideas or even for exporting indie goods for your own market. From trinkets to bags to printed clothes and mobile phones protectors, this has made in Thailand all over it. Not forgetting locally designed clothes and fashion plus lots of glorious food, all produced and the brainchild of next generation Thailand. The originality struck me that there's lots of talent, creativity and hope in Thailand. Set on an empty land in lower Sukhumvit along Soi 24, Phrong Phom BTS, currently behind the Dinosaur theme park, Artbox moves around all the time and the previous time I recall it was at Queen Sirikit Convention Centre station. Live bands, great food, all set in a relaxed and quaint setting of grass fields and containers with hay stacks and swings for you to enjoy the local indie band performances... This is as local and as original a Bangkok night market as it gets. Shopping with you are tourists of all nationalities and hip local youngsters alike. It does seem like the place to seen and to hang about on a weekend. My girlfriend is crazy for this market and lately prefers to coincide her trips according to the schedule of this night market. Definitely not open daily and perhaps only once a weekend of each month. Follow their Facebook page or Instagram to be up to date on their opening days. I feel this is a must visit market besides the Train Night Market, another of my favorites.
