There were rumours swirling around for years about the impending closure of the Suan Lum Night Bazaar in Bangkok, but we refused to believe them. After all, it was our evening sanctuary. A place where we could walk to in just 5 minutes from our hotel, at any hour in the night, to satisfy our needs for some pad thai, a cold drink, or a little shopping. It was a place we could always count on to get some last minute souvenirs, and stir up a conversation or two with some ladyboys.
And, since its closure in 2011, our night market loving lives have been left with a gigantic void needing to be filled. We’ve frequented many night markets in Bangkok since Suan Lum’s closure, and are still searching for the perfect replacement where we can put our feet up after a long day of exploring and say, “Isn’t life AWESOME?!”
