The newest of Bangkok’s night markets, Suan Lum not only offers the usual fare of fake designer goods, Thai silk scarves and incense sets, but also small shops selling arts and crafts from local designers and artists. The pottery and paintings are particularly worth a look.There is also a large food court and beer garden featuring live music (the Thai equivalent of Busted when we were there) and – more bizarrely – reruns of Premiership football matches from 2002 on a big screen. In the beer garden either go to the bars or look for the waiters selling Chang or Tiger beer, which are at fairly reasonable prices (50 to 100 Baht, £0.70 to £1.40 per bottle). Otherwise you may be offered western imported beer at an exorbitant price (Erdinger and Heineken for the equivalent of about £5.00 per litre).
