A year after Asiatique openend in 2012 I was in Bangkok and did visit this open-air market along the Chao Phraya River. This market is made for tourists. Asiatique is located at the former grounds of the East Asiatic Company right along the Chao Phraya River and Charoen Krung Road. Unfortunately only a very small part of the old buildings here was saved from the sledge hammer. Besides the market shops there are restaurants (like Brasserie 9), Simon Cabaret and a huge ferris wheel from where I took this photos. Asiatique can be reached by ferry over the Chao Phraya or by taxi. If you like some help with organizing your holiday anywhere in Thailand send me an email at Chang Noi @ Traveling in Thailand.
