April 6, 20179 yr From Khaosod English BANGKOK — Six years after the eviction of the Suan Lum Night Bazaar, a development company Monday morning announced plans to construct a cluster of office, residential and retail towers on the site. To be completed by 2025, One Bangkok will be a mixed-use space built on the former location of the popular market across Lumpini Park at the intersection of Wireless, Rama IV and Sathorn roads. The 104 rai (166,400sqm) space will see the construction of five office towers, five luxury hotels, three “ultra-luxury” condos and four retail spaces. Green space will cover 50 rai (80,000sqm) of land, with an open-air plaza and spaces for art exhibitions included in the complex. http://www.khaosodenglish.com/news/bangkok/2017/04/03/120b-mega-project-coming-site-former-suan-lum-night-bazaar/
April 6, 20179 yr I remember the night bazaar from my first trips in 2009 and 2010. Now the entire area, including where the Lumpini boxing stadium was, is flat (concrete/asphalt?) and fenced off, with the occasional event taking place. The boxing stadium moved to somewhere in Ramintra, the night bazaar moved to Ratchadaphisek (near Ladprao crossing)
