Simply standing outside Suan Lum Night Bazaar gives you the chills, and makes you feel as if you're eagerly waiting in line to get onto your favorite ride! Suan Lum Night Bazaar is located right opposite Bangkok's very popular Lumpini Park. To get the real feel of this epitome of sheer entertainment and joy you would have to go to Wireless Road. Here's a place where you would find people of all classes having a jolly good time with their folks, friends and colleagues! The crowd of Suan Lum Night Bazaar consists of the Thai working class dressed up in the most simple clothes, as well as those alien culture scavengers and also the business tycoons of the country with their families!

Now where else would you get a better opportunity than this to explore Thailand as a whole, all in one night! This niche full of surprises is surely a friendly place with lots of different faces enjoying the ever so reasonably priced food, buying stuff from the huge variety of goodies (clothes, jewelry, boutiques, CD's, etc), and receiving a considerable amount of high class treatment at the same time. In this remarkable hot spot there also lies 'BEC Tero Hall' where some of Bangkok's finest exhibitions and shows are held. When you stroll through this versatile night bazaar you will almost feel like you're in a maze of paradise with a touch of an amusement park. I say amusement park, because of that Big Ferris Wheel 'La Roue De Paris' with 42 carriers that has come from Paris, which is now the highlight of the venue! It truly puts the icing and cherry on the night bazaar's cake! By the way, you only have to pay 100bhat for adults and 60bhat for kids, but in return you get to see a great deal of Bangkok from high up in the sky four times!

Takeaways
  • Here's a place where you would find people of all classes having a jolly good time!
  • An opportunity to explore Thailand as a whole, all in one night!
  • The versatile entertainment king of Bangkok!

Amisha, nice article. I live in Bangkok and they are actually closing the night market next year. Such a shame as it's a fabulous place!

Excellent, well-written article, Amisha. It brought back memories of many a warm evening spent marveling at the culture and pace of a country I love.
