Meta review

A relatively new (or is it metamorphosed?) night market that gets consistent comment as being a lot more organized and sanitary than its predecessor but in so doing it has lost the charm and competitive pricing of the traditional markets. Moreover, it clearly caters to a hipster crowd, mostly consisting or tourists rather than locals. From a practical standpoint, it can be hard to find a spot to seat at peak time and there are a lot of stalls and therefore choice but also quite a lot of repeats.

Environmental & Social

No info on sourcing and whether the stalls are independently operated.

Conclusion

A cool place for an evening dinner with friends or even family but unless you stay in the area, or are a Bangkok resident, we would not travel across town to check it out given there are a lot of traditional markets scattered across town (and plenty of restaurants too).

Key positive

Some cool seating and increased hygiene standards

Key negative

More expensive than traditional night markets

Suitability

No restrictions.
