Bangkok’s rich culture and vibrant atmosphere attract many Taiwanese travelers, especially as its creative industries continue to grow rapidly. Recently, a one-of-a-kind airplane-themed market, “ChangChui,” has emerged in the outskirts of Bangkok. It combines workshops, art galleries, markets, restaurants, and more — plus there's an actual airplane parked right in the market. Its strong visual appeal has quickly made it a hot new topic in Thailand.

The ChangChui market offers a diverse mix, featuring everything from bookstores, art galleries, cinemas, live music venues, bars, hair salons, general stores, restaurants, coffee shops, and food courts. Each shop feels like a piece of creative art. The market also boasts many large-scale installations, the most eye-catching being a decommissioned Thai Sky Airlines plane that has been repurposed and lit up with colorful beams at night.
