Actually it’s more than a typical night market – it could also be called a shopping and lifestyle complex, but the main space is a shopping area located in the old warehouses of the East Asiatic Company. It’s popular not just with tourists, but also with Thais, and is definitely the most upscale night market in Bangkok. Hotel Pathumwan Princess Bangkok or similar
