About Ratchada, Bangkok

Sprawled in the north of downtown Bangkok, Ratchada is less noisy than the other busy areas of Bangkok. That does not make it any less crowded because the options to explore, eat and shop are as abundant as in the other areas of the city. Another crowning glory of the area is its affordable nightlife spots that are interspersed with small departmental stores. It is home to Bangkok’s most prolific nightlife district, Royal City Avenue. Some of its most popular places in and around Ratchada are- 

• Ratchada Night Market- Sporting a vintage aesthetic and hiding many photo opportunities, this hotspot is the ideal place to pick up rare pieces and trinkets at. You need to pack a stride in your shoes, a bottle of water and brush up on your bargaining skills, you will require all three in heavy doses in this gem of a market. It’s open between Thursday to Sunday and is well-known by the taxi services operating in Bangkok. You can find souvenirs and one-off pieces of clothes. 
  
  
• Siam Niramit- It is a colossal-sized theatre that has more than 2000 seats. Its unique feature is that the world’s largest stage productions are hosted here. Its enclosure is made up of restaurants and clones of Thai villages that you can stroll through for a vivid look into the life of a bygone era of Thailand's history. It is a one-of-a-kind experience that pulls people in with its cultural retellings via live shows, involving elephants no less. 
  
  
• Art in Paradise- People can be found contorting into impossible positions to get that perfect photograph against the surreal 3D paintings that leap off the walls. Located inside the Esplanade Shopping Mall which is in close vicinity to the Night Market, it is an exciting trip that will take a few hours off your to-do-list because once in, you will find it hard to pull yourself out of the “Stairway To Hell” and “Coronation Of The Empire” rooms. OYO 525 MRT Phetkasem 48 Place is a great option for accommodation near the Esplanade Mall.

Where To Eat?

Ratchada Soi 3 is famous for its lip-smacking street food that is easy on the pocket and heavy on flavor. Speaking of street food, fried insects at the Ratchada Night Market are a delicacy and should be tried despite the initial gag reflex that the name induces for some. Somboon Seafood is a seafood chain that has amassed the approval of both the locals and tourists. The Ratchada branch is the easiest to find. Other imitations have sprung up but the quality of “real” seafood is unbeatable at this restaurant to this day. Kuroda offers an all-you-can-eat Japanese buffet which is not too expensive and packs a great deal of punch.
