Suan Lum Night Bazaar

[chelford67]

Just a quick one, as the title states does the Lumpini market still operate as it did last year?

Thanks for taking the time to read.

Yes but the ferris wheel and a few other things have disappeared.

Cheers

Reportedly, Suan Lum recently got a reprieve by the developer, Central Pattana, until next year.

Read it here.

I just ran across this article that has the history of the plot, if anybody is interested.

I heard from a very good source that it's not going to dissappear completely and that theres still going to be part of the market left.

Did you bribe you "very good source" with a plate of Snausages?

Sorry but I don't get it.

Suan Lum Night Bazaar isn't for much longer......a year or two at the very most. Then it'll be show-down time folks!

Then the thugs and paid-for-vandals will descend upon the joint in the wee hours of the morning and destroy everything in sight - just like they did on Sukhumvit and elsewhere.

And then, I guess, it'll be all over for the store keepers and restauranteers doing business there.

Another nice place that provides entertainment for people from all walks of life with modest incomes will have to go under to make way for another condominium/office complex with 24 hour security that will for all intents and purposes be off limits to ordinary BKK folk for ever.

The land is owned by the Crown Property Bureau, the royal family’s asset management company.

Bummer. Made special trip to go there 5 months ago. They had the nicest silk bedspreads and nice cufflinks. Had good prices with vendors that were patient and not pushy. My friend issisted we get on that ferris wheel and where I was scared sh*tless since I dislike heights. (I think she got a thrill from seeing me terrified.)
