Bangkok's cultural and creative industries have never had their limits, and this topic is the hottest and most popular in the Chang Chui Creative Space (Chang Chui Creative Space). It is not just a market, but also a group of creators. The garden where local people gather is trying to show the vitality of Bangkok to the public through the special display design on the spot. "Cultural and creative" is definitely not a term.
Transportation: How to get to and from Chang Chui Creative Space (Chang Chui Creative Space)
Changcui Cultural and Creative Park is located on the right bank of the Chao Phraya River in Bangkok, near the Old South Bus Station in Bangkok. You can stop by when you take the Mini Van. Because the market is far away from the bustling and prosperous area of the city center, it started operating in 2017. Not every driver knows its location, but you can prepare a Thai address card in advance to communicate with the driver.
A group of us waited at the taxi station of The EmQuartier department store. The service staff assisted in communicating with the driver, and the meter skipped the meter. However, we often encountered the suspicion that the distance was too far to carry, until a driver was willing to go but bid 500 baht ( One way), I thought...without delaying the itinerary, I agreed to the price and get on the bus quickly.
On the return journey, we saw the sign of Grab Taxi and the sign of the meeting point at the entrance of the park. We decided to call a taxi back to the hotel. At that time, we did not choose a taxi but Grab Car. We quickly found the car and returned to downtown Bangkok. Two incidents occurred. We waited at different meeting points, finally met through APP, and drove back all the way... Little Hamburg cried in the car for 40 minutes. It was a hard work for the driver and his family. Because of separation anxiety, he still felt uneasy even when I was sitting in the front seat. .

Brief introduction of Chang Chui Creative Space
Opened for operation in June 2017, the founder Somchai Songwattana chose this area covering an area of 6 square meters to start construction. It was a mixture of new and old materials. During the construction process, the workers who installed the windows installed the windows upside down. Somchai Songwattana simply installed all the windows in the park in this way, so the Cultural and Creative Park was named Chang Chui with the characteristic of "innocent".

Experience in Chang Chui Creative Space
"When attracting investment, carefully select stores with strong styles or distinctive products, and try not to repeat the same nature." According to the media report, this is indeed quite exciting when I go shopping, and I have to taste it slowly and dig into the treasures carefully. , But like my mother’s kind of shopaholic, he still likes traditional sightseeing night markets, crowded with people, so many stalls, can bargain prices, etc. Therefore, Changcui has a polarizing evaluation in the reputation of tourists.
▲ The most eye-catching thing in the park is this aircraft.
▲ There are many interesting products in the bookstore.
▲ It is worthwhile to spend half a day strolling around the various types of equipment in the park.
Food Street in Changcui Cultural and Creative Park
In addition to these independent restaurants and stalls, Changcui Cultural and Creative Park also has a "food street" in which you can purchase a stored-value card to order food at various gourmet restaurants, and the remaining funds will be refunded in cash.Arrived in Changcui on the same day, it was a bit close to closing time, only a few vendors were left to sell meals, and I ordered two gar-pao pork rice at random. The price was a bit cheaper than the city and the taste was good.
▲ The text description of the park is marked in simplified Chinese.
▲ A look at the inside and outside of the food court.
▲ Seeing these old cameras, I admire the skill of the collectors.
Desserts in Changcui Cultural and Creative Park
Only a portion of quatto pork rice seemed to be unable to fill the stomach. A group of people came to this restaurant to renew the stall, and there was air-conditioning blowing to make the small hamburger a little more comfortable to sleep. Several of us ordered drinks and desserts to have a rest.Most of Changcui’s tourists are locals in Bangkok, and may be far away from the city. There are almost no foreign tourists, and the same is true in the restaurant.
Drinks and desserts are priced around XNUMX yuan per unit, which is quite close to the people. The taste is not too outstanding or disgusting. It is enough to have a place for elders and children to rest.
▲ My sister recommends this macaron.
Conclusion
