New project featuring historic warehouses transformed into a community of creative businesses, open-plan markets and multi-purpose studio at the heart of the Creative District
A major feature of the Creative District is a fascinating and historically important compound of seven old wooden warehouses built between the years of 1943 and 1945 that have been transformed into a destination in their own right, luring shoppers, tourists and those who enjoy a more simple and relaxed alternative to today’s modern shopping malls.
Known as Warehouse 30, the project is a wonderful reminder of the once-thriving river traffic that defined this part of Bangkok and the need to preserve the area’s amazing cultural heritage.

For now, the project has four warehouses in operation:
