MODEL MARKET-Upcycled Urban Space

Welcome to Bangkok’s first environmentally-conscience indoor/outdoor market, rocking foods from some of Bangkok’s favorite restaurants and bars, while, doing it’s part for the environment.
 
​This place is making upcycling and recycling their focus while delivering a cool urban space to hang out. Bangkok’s best restaurants and bars have joined forces to create a fun marketplace focused on building an eco-friendly, sustainable outdoor venue in Thonglor Neighbour’s Sukhumvit soi 53.
 
Model Market is adorned with cool graffiti, fairy lights and upcycled metal sculptures. All furniture in the venue is recycled from defunct shops, shuttered restaurants and closed bars, across bangkok. Their red metal chairs are from closed pizza delivery companies, benches from an unopened restaurant concepts, funky decor from the now shuttered ‘Bangkok Betty’s’. Even the craft beer bar, set up by their partner, “Bootleg Brothers”, is made from recycled wood from past events like ‘Wonderfruit’,  and adorned by leftover ammunition boxes.The recycling and upcycling idea is permeated throughout the venue, including the land itself, upcycled from a pending real estate development.
 
Plastic straws, utensils and non-biodegradable items are banned from the venue and all foods will be composted through a sustainability organization. The venue is teaming up with local recycle and sustainability organizations, to create an “eco-market”, where people can come, drop-off and pick-up donated books, toys, recycled clothes, and furniture.  Model Market plans on having weekday Farmer’s Markets, clothes swap events, upcycling workshops and eventually a donated goods depot for people bitten by the “Marie Kondo” bug.
 
The venue on Sukhumvit soi 53 is also pet friendly, making the space one of the few places to bring your little pooch. Providing your poochies are leashed and attended. Model Market also houses a recycling studio by “The Remaker”; a leading brand for the fashion industry using discarded materials upcycled to create new items like rubber and leather bags, jackets, shoes etc. The Remaker studio has a fun bicycle powered juice maker, demonstrating it’s ingenuity. A real hit with the kids.
Fridays and weekends at Model Market, promises lazy cocktail garden parties, backyard BBQs weekends and live music every Friday, from bands like Jenny and the Scallywags, and other local singer songwriters provided by Live Artist Asia.
 
Model Market’s concept has attracted some of Bangkok’s favourite bars and restaurants to join in the fray, by offering pop- up space to Peppina, Meng Kee Hong Kong Roast -formally at Arena 10, Fat Boy Smoke House, Gangnam Pocha - a family style korean BBQ, Bootleg Brothers - a Thai craft beer company, Nitro Lab - a cold press coffee bar, Fat Guts’z Saloon, and Tropic City - named best bar in Bangkok 2018. As well as a Whisky Garden by Jameson, wines by local produces from Siam Winery, Budweiser beers and hopefully many more partners in the near future.
 
Model Market taps into something currently lacking in the Thonglor neighborhood. An open-air chill out spot with great food, great drinks, great music and an intent to build a community with a conscience. 
 
Model Market opens every day from 5 p.m. - late. Located about 500m from the Thonglor BTS station on Sukhumvit soi 53.
