Thanks 3,091 #1 Posted June 26, 2019 (edited) Chuvit Garden on Sukhumvit Soi 10, close to Check-in Bar, has come to life again. Since 30 May 2019 you can find the Art Box there. Art Box will be in Chuvit Garden until 30 November 2019. They’re open every day from 3pm to midnight. The Art Box is a mix of outdoor night market, live music venue and food and craft beer places. One can eat and drink there before going to CIB for example... After the demolition of Washington Square with its makeshift gogo bars and other girlie bars in 2003, Chuvit garden became first a public park but was finally closed a couple of years ago. The former owner wanted to build a ****hotel there but then dropped those plans...

SAGuy 3,775 #2 Posted June 26, 2019 I've stopped off at the Artbox a couple of times on the 'Great Trek North' to soi 10 and 20... Its got the same vibe as the night market behind the Esplanade shopping centre by the Thailand Cultural Centre MRT station, but without the teaming crowds of Thais at the weekend. The food there is pretty good and there's a decent selection. I didn't look around any of the non-food stalls, as I was a man on a mission on the 2-3 occasions that I stopped off there, and time was of the essence!

taaseesanuk 2,992 #3 Posted June 26, 2019 Looks more the kind of place you would go as a group to eat or chill out...A solo Monger on his table for one might look a bit out of place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flipflops 1,274 #5 Posted June 27, 2019 I was staying in Paradiso across Soi 10 when the workers were putting the finishing touches on this a few months ago. I went over a few nights later and was a bit bored. Maybe the vibe has gained some momentum since then. I was also alone and I'm sure this had an impact on my thinking. Nice ass the 3rd picture down ... lower right hand side. 1 Pattayamagic reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mardhi 1,689 #6 Posted June 27, 2019 That site had been said was leased/bought by Land&House PLC (Centrepoint, Terminal 21 owners). Presumably sub let it while the lengthy environmental impact studies get done (yes apparently they do them, not that there is much evidence of it). Good idea to bring bit life back to that area. 2 Thanks and flipflops reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KendoUK 1,753 #7 Posted June 27, 2019 It's good to see that site being used for something useful, albeit on a temporary basis. Reminds me of a scaled down version of Talat Rot Fai (Ratchada) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Danum99 441 #11 Posted September 7, 2019 Small market by Bangkok standards open from 4pm to midnight. More emphasis on food stalls. I cant comment on quality although the Cooper dry aged Steaks stall is decent. Live music throughout and they rotate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vagamundo 588 #12 Posted September 9, 2019 Why is it closing on November 30, 2019? I was looking for forward to popping in on occasion when I arrive later in December. Since high season starts in December, it’s disappointing to hear it will be shut down beforehand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sebastien 1,202 #13 Posted September 9, 2019 I wandered through here on my way out last night, as you can use it to exit Soi 10 onto Sukhumvit. It's got a nice relaxed vibe. Could be a good date spot. Fairly dark and busy so you wouldn't stand out that much regardless of how tall your LB is. Feels a bit out of place on Sukhumvit, mind you, this might be the direction for Sukhumvit. They have live performers playing the usual gooey love songs. Thais just seem to never get enough of that stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

prebss 50 #19 Posted September 15, 2019 Well I did not recognize her from CIB thread so maybe some other bar along the Sukhumvit road from soi 4 to 22 maybe?? But again that is a fair bit of road so it all depends how much of a runner she is:-D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Danum99 441 #20 Posted September 15, 2019 (edited) Less than 2 minutes actually. Its called Check in Bar. Her name is Nutty. Look at the first post on the thread and you will see its location. There are lots of her pictures and experiences written of her in this thread - Ladyboy Go-Go Bars = Check in Bar, and in the trip reports. Cheers. Wow! I am impressed with myself.
