Thanks for the photos! I decided to stay at the Promenade next week. It's only for two nights before I go to my next destination. Will ask arround if people know what they are planning on the cleared lot.

I can't sleep in the airplane, so most of the first 6 hours I sleep in my hotel room.

There are still a lot of freelancers in Bkk on TF, but I noticed something different... I have about 20 freelancers in my favorites. Almost all of them had the word freelance in their profile text or under their occupation. A few weeks ago all their profile texts or occupations have been removed. Is the word freelance now forbidden?

On my last 3 Thailand trips in 2018, 2019 and 2023 I stayed at the Promenade Hotel in Sukhumvit Soi 8 for a few days. When I came back in 2023 after a 3.5 year gap I almost didn't recognized one side of the soi anymore where shops have been replaced with bars and it was a lot busier in the evenings. Behind the Promenade Hotel was the Wannawit School. It closed down in 2022 and was demolished a few months ago. On a blog I read they are planning a new night market there similar like Art Box. In a youtube video the youtuber said they are planning a new barcomplex. Does anyone know what they are actually planning there? And what the current situation is? If it's a construction site now and a market or bars in the future I will not be staying at the Promenade. Too noisy for me. Demolition of the school. Building at the left is the Promenade.
