Must visit with family. Though the street style experience is created it still is like a mall. Go there in a river cruise ferry boat in 20 Baht from Vat Arun Temple.

We had limited time in Bangkok on this visit and I am so pleased that we managed to fit in a visit to Asiatique one night. My only disappointment - I would have liked more time there before it started closing but we only got there after 10pm. We enjoyed the different 'market' style shopping (pricing seemed fair), and went on the Ferris wheel for a view over the river and the night lights. There are restaurants, the haunted castle and different sections to explore / shop. I would definitely return on a future visit to Bangkok, for the different character the place evokes, especially if they have more projects / exhibitions (there had recently been a Disney one.)

Asiatique feels a bit old and tired. Many many stores are closed. Those that are open are often selling merchandise which is much more expensive than other places around Bangkok such as MBK. Interesting for a short visit but if you are lacking time in fabulous Bangkok I wouldn’t bother.

This is a great place to watch the sun go down while enjoying a drink and something to eat. Getting there by river boat is easy and there is plenty to see and do there. We are at the Happy Fish and it was pretty good, especially the ice cream cone at the end of our meal which we ate on the boat ride back.

Beautiful place to spend the night with bright lights and a good combination of restaurants, entertainment and shopping. Some market type shops are very competitively priced. Restaurants are a little expensive but worth the visit for the live entertainment and people watching. Also great that the free ferry runs quite late

The boat ride from Taksin Saphan is lovely (you may have to wait up to 30 mins), but Asiatique itself has seen better days. If you have been to Chatuchak (JJ) weekend market, you won’t see anything new at the market. The restaurants by the river are just OK. We had plenty of time in Bangkok, but if you only have a few days, don’t prioritise Asiatique.

A great night out in bangkok. With a good choice of restaurants. A different vibe to everywhere else we visited. With a big wheel and merry go round. Lots of shops and eateries. It's free to access and lots of taxis & tuk tuks when you come out to get home.

I visited Asiatique on 19.2.24 with my wife. We wanted to watch the show at Calypso and also to do some shopping. I rate the show as fairly good (6/10). All customers were given a complimentary soft drink. The hall was not very big and as such, you can see the dancers on stage quite clearly even if you were seated at the last row. The seats were arranged in tiers so that the you would not be blocked by the people seated on the tier in front of you. However, on each tier. there were 2 rows of seats, and if you were in the back row, you may be blocked by the people seated in front of you. Thus, when selecting your seat, choose those that are in the front of each tier. As for shopping, you can find practically anything under the sun. But then, you can also find the same things in other Bangkok malls. So, if you are going there just for shopping, it would be more convenient, and perhaps cheaper, if you go to a mall near your hotel. There were also many eateries. We had dinner at Sook Zaap. The large river prawn and vegetables were fairly good. However, the pineapple rice and the pork noodle soup were the most tasteless items that I have eaten in Thailand in my more than 40 years of visit. Even my Thai driver, who tasted the noodle soup said it was the worst that he had ever eaten.

Went for a walkaround in the evening. It was fairly busy for a Wednesday. The free shuttle boat had to stand-off for about 10 minutes to let a dinner cruise boat load/unload. Our return took quite a while as the shuttle boat arrived back at the transport hub 30 seconds after the Sheraton Shuttle boat left the dock. So, a half hour wait in the dark.

I first visited this riverside market in late 2019, and I visited again in March 2024. It shows that the pandemic did a number on small businesses. As a number of posters have said, half the shops are closed. That said, there is still a critical mass of shops (not an over abundance), and there are hordes of eateries. The place comes alive beginning at dusk. Don’t go out of your way to visit. But if you have some spare time, it’s worth a couple of hours one evening. It’s a particularly good market if you have children.
