A Disappointing Suan Lum Night Bazaar At Ratchada
Uncertain of what to make of the new Suan Lum Night Bazaar at Ratchada. It’s a market that we have been anticipating for a long time, as it is close to where we stay.
They had their soft launch on 23 Dec, 2015. Bf and I visited it two weeks later.
As we arrived before their opening hour at 4.00pm, the market was still very quiet. Sellers were just setting up their stalls, outside the main building. That gave us opportunity to walk around, and look-see, sans the crowd.
Construction was still ongoing inside the building premises. I understand that the stalls are meant to move inside, once the construction is done.
This whole place lacks of a ‘binding theme‘ … dinosaurs, statues? It reminds me of Dream World at Rangsit. Given the stiff competition in the market now, POD (point of differentiation) is important. But perhaps, this market will attract more of a family-target audience with the dinosaurs, ‘animal’ ride, etc.
We are in no hurry to return, hoping that they will pull their act together.
If you are a fan of Malaysian/Singaporean food, good news. Champion Sports Bar is located at Ground Floor of Suan Lum Night Bazaar Ratchada. They used to be at President Palace Hotel at Sukhumvit Soi 11. Price is on the expensive-side, but their food is superb!
