Why should you go there and how do you do it right?

Timing is crucial here. Arrive at 3 p.m. and you'll find a half-empty square where vendors are still unpacking boxes – exactly what many disappointed visitors describe. By 7 p.m., however, everything is in full swing: lights are on, live bands are playing everywhere, there are over ten restaurants and a whole host of open bars, individual boutiques, and vintage stalls selling clothing and jewelry. The centerpiece is a decommissioned Tri-Star aircraft that has been converted into a restaurant and bar – and yes, everyone is taking pictures of it. It deserves the attention.

The expansive space consists of open corridors, industrial halls, and rotating art installations, and is located off the beaten path of Bangkok's usual hotspots on Sirindhorn Road in Bang Phlat. Several reviewers mention Thai friends who had never heard of it. It's less crowded during the week than on weekends, as more venues are closed. Those wanting to experience the much-praised, creative scene with live music should go on a Friday or Saturday evening and set aside a few hours.
