ASIATIQUE NIGHT MARKET IS BANGKOK'S BEST AND MOST INTERESTING DESTINATION FOR SHOPPING. DO NOT EXPECT LOUIS VUITTON OR CARTIER BUT EXPECT PLENTY OF LOCAL STUFF, SOUVENIRS AND STALLS LOADED WITH FUN, FUNKY FASHIONS, ACCESSORIES, BLING AND THINGS WE CAN NEVER FIND AT OUR PASAR MALAM! PRICES ARE RELATIVELY CHEAP AND OF COURSE WE CAN ALWAYS BARGAIN! ASIATIQUE IS LOCATED BY THE BANKS OF MENAM CHAO PHRAYA AND USED TO BE A SERIES OF WAREHOUSES AND GODOWNS IN THE 19TH AND 20TH CENTURIES. THE SERIES OF WAREHOUSES ARE ORIGINALS AND SIMPLY RESTORED AND FILLED WITH SMALL SHOPS, RESTAURANTS, BARS AND CAFES. SOME RESTAURANTS ARE PRETTY BIG, ESPECIALLY THOSE FRONTING THE RIVER. ASIATIQUE SWINGS INTO LIFE FROM 6 PM TO MIDNIGHT AND YOU NEED AT LEAST 2 TO 3 NIGHTS TO CHECK OUT THE MYRIAD SHOPS, BOUTIQUES AND EATERIES, PLUS THE CALYPSO CABARET, JOE LEWIS PUPPET THEATRE AND MUAY THAI---THE LEGEND LIVES SHOWS!
