Seems like quite a stylish night market with lots of restaurants a well as shops. Have only been once so hard for me to judge, but it was certainly popular with Thais a few weeks ago.

Suggest you go by BTS to Saphan Taksin and take a free Asiatique boat from there. Trip takes about 20 mins and the boats run every 30 mins until quite late (about 10.00 pm?). I would guess that going by road would be a bit tortuous because of the traffic build up with so many Thais driving there.

Been there twice. Typical "trendy" Bangkok shopping/dining spot. If you've been to Thong Lo or CDC in the evening you've been to this place. Manufactured atmosphere meant to attract the young and hype with money.

Plat Dib (popular Japanese fusion restaurant near Ari BTS) just opened up a sister restaurant called Dib Dib so if you're into that sort of food and want to be around the young, trendy, and beautiful crowd it has decent food and drinks but can be a bit pricey, especially the drinks.

Overall, if you want to impress a young thai lady on a date then hit the place up or check it out once, otherwise it's nothing truly different than other like areas.
