This place may be permanently closed. Please check official sources before visiting.

Positives:

  • Vibrant Night Atmosphere: Lights, music, and crowds create an energetic setting perfect for solo exploration.
  • Easy Socializing: Communal seating and friendly vendors make it simple to meet locals and travelers.

Challenges:

  • Limited Seating: High tables fill up quickly after 19:00, so you may need to stand or wait.
  • Crowded Walkways: Aisles narrow during peak hours, making it hard to navigate with a bag.

Hello, friends, I'm a Korean who came to Thailand to play. When I go late in the evening, the stores are closed, so I have to go early. Even though I went late, they were selling juice, food, clothes, and other interesting things. It's worth visiting at least once. If you want to see my trip, come to Instagram. 📷:iiiminwooiii

A lot quieter than expected for a Saturday night even though it is end of season. Found a nice pool hall to escape the heat for an hour which was nice. Street food was OK.

We took a tuk tuk from Jodd Fairs thinking it will be better here but really surprised once we stepped in. Disappointed is understatement with only few shops open, and it's practically same as Jodd Fairs. Only one restaurant open and the food was also very disappointing compared to more selection at Jodd Fairs. The fish was very saltish. Really a waste of our time here 😭

It doesnt offer much. Good, still recommend but th...

The place has a lovely ambiance, but since we visited on a quiet weekday, the food options were somewhat limited. However, we found a restaurant near the public area that serves an excellent Pad Thai. Although it only has a few reviews, don’t let that deter you—I was hesitant too, but after trying it, I can confidently say it deserves five stars! We also visited a restaurant that mentioned having...
