SW1 Market · Reviews

Most vendors are very friendly. Except 1, Grill the Sea. The young woman charged me 50 baht more for 1 grilled octopus than the listed price on the big menu. I pointed to the price and said you listed for 120. Why was it 170? She rudely said you pay first and rubbing finger gesture with thumb, index and middle fingers. You pay 170. I knew exactly why. I paid 170 baht and told her in Thai that Thai people are very friendly, but I am not Chinese.

Situated in the Asok area, SW1 Market is a charming spot offering cold beer and great food. It's a must-visit if you're nearby, providing a refreshing break with its lively atmosphere and diverse offerings.

The market has improved significantly since its early days as a temporary setup. Now with fixed constructions, the stalls offer a wider selection and better quality food. While it may not be as extensive as Jodd Fairs, it’s definitely worth a visit. The pork stew is a must-try, and the Roti pancakes, especially the one with durian, are delicious.

Despite being popular among tourists, SW1 Market maintains the authentic taste of Thai cuisine. The market's atmosphere is lively, and the food options are both great and reasonably priced. It's a wonderful spot to explore if you're looking to try a variety of Thai dishes without breaking the bank.

SW1 Market may seem aimed at tourists and expats, but it boasts great stores and delicious food offerings in a fantastic atmosphere. It's a nice alternative to the big chain stores in nearby malls, providing a chance to support smaller businesses while enjoying a unique shopping and dining experience.

Not as good as the Artbox at Soi 10 used to be, and not really a nice location, but better than nothing. Prices are farang prices.
