Looks like Singaporeans will not get a chance to visit or revisit Artbox night market in Bangkok, following news that the market has closed. Its last opening was on Monday (Aug 31).
The night market, located in between BTS stations Nana and Asoke in Bangkok, had been running daily for about year, attracting both locals and tourists.
Artbox debuted in 2015 as a popup event held several times a year for a few days at a time. The market featured unique merchandise by local designers, trendy food items and live music, which drew the hipster crowd.
After 28 years, the Isetan department store has vacated its six-storey premises in CentralWorld Bangkok, officially pulling out of the country.
