Artbox Bangkok market's stalls housed in metal shipping containers are normally placed in large open spaces of Thai capital city. Artbox Bangkok 2019 was first set up at the Square B of Central World shopping mall, then moved to Samyan Market and spent one weekend at Emquartier before moving permanently to Chuvit Park in Central Bangkok.

Artbox Bangkok is an unusual night market so don't expect to find usual touristy souvenirs such as "Chang" t-shirts or elephant pants here. For stuff like this you should choose another Bangkok night market.

However, if you're into creativity, you will definitely like strolling between rows of stalls selling local fashion brands, artworks and unique accessories. Artbox Bangkok 2019 attracts big number of local designers selling their own works.

Later in February 2019 the market was located in an open space between Samyan Market and Chulalongkorn University Centenary Park, where Artbox Bangkok 2018 was located at the end of last year.

Artbox Thailand changed the venue of Artbox Bangkok 2019 in March and April was changed from Samyan Market to a more convenient location - Chuvit Garden. Chuvit Garden is a private park in Bangkok, at Sukhumvit Soi 10. The park can be conveniently reached by BTS as it's located between Nana and Asok BTS stations. After successful weekends here it was decided to move there permanently later this year.

Artbox Bangkok 2019 was also housed at Emquartier shopping mall for one weekend in March 2019. Artbox Bangkok at Emquartier had only Food Zone and Fashion Zone so it wasn't as charming as it is set up in open-air venues.
