Bangkok is an awesome destination for good food, massages, shopping, and vibrant night markets! However, if Jodd Fairs near Phra Rama 9 MRT station was on your must-visit list for your upcoming trip, I regret to inform you that it has shut down.

Now, I don’t know about you, but during my past 2 trips, I visited Jodd Fairs night market and didn’t enjoy it at all (purely my opinion, no offence). It felt cramped, and to be honest, a little overrated.

Jodd Fairs had over 700 stalls selling a wide variety of food, drinks, desserts, and retail knick-knacks. One standout stall that consistently drew a steady stream of customers was Leng Zapp Volcano Ribs.

It sold braised pork ribs in portions ranging from single servings to the massive XXXL size, which came stacked like a tower.

The old site will soon be cleared for the construction of the ‘Super Tower,’ a soaring 125-story skyscraper that will become the tallest building in both Thailand and Southeast Asia. Wow, impressive!

Tourists can still visit Jodd Fairs Ratchada, a fairly-new night market that was established in Nov 2024. It’s situated along Ratchadapisek Road, next to the Cultural Centre MRT Station. It’s opened by the same operator, Rod’s & Son, boasting about 20,800 square metres and features over 1,500 retail stalls and restaurants.

Hungary wants the EU to intervene in a gas dispute with Ukraine
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán on Friday said he wants the European Union to intervene in a gas dispute his country has with Ukraine, a potential sign of friction in the bloc's upcoming discussions over renewing sanctions against Russia. Speaking on state radio, Orbán said that Ukraine's decision to cease transiting Russian gas into Central Europe through the Brotherhood pipeline had forced Hungary to turn to alternative routes, which raised energy prices. Meanwhile, he claimed EU sanctions against Russia for its war in Ukraine had cost Hungary 19 billion euros ($20 billion) since the start of the full-scale invasion in February 2022.

Belarus election is poised to extend the 30-year rule of 'Europe's last dictator'
The last time Belarus staged a presidential election in 2020, authoritarian leader Alexander Lukashenko was declared the winner with 80% of the vote. Not wanting to risk such unrest again by those opposing his three decades of iron-fisted rule, Lukashenko advanced the timing of the 2025 election — from the warmth of August to frigid January, when demonstrators are less likely to fill the streets. With many of his political opponents either jailed or exiled abroad, the 70-year-old Lukashenko is back on the ballot, and when the election concludes on Sunday, he is all but certain to add a seventh term as the only leader most people in post-Soviet Belarus have ever known.
