But the good news is that the venue operator, Rod's & Son Company, has already opened a brand-new branch called Jodd Fairs Ratchada
This outlet, launched in November last year, is conveniently located on Ratchadapisek Road, just a stone's throw away from the old site and next to the Cultural Centre MRT station.
Spanning 2.08 hectares, Jodd Fairs Ratchada features over 1,500 shops and restaurants, aiming to become Thailand's next major tourist attraction and boost the country's tourism industry.

The relocation of Jodd Fairs was prompted by the expiration of their lease agreement with property developer G Land, which is owned by Central Pattana Corp.
According to a report by The Nation, the current plot will be handed back to Central Group, which has ambitious plans to transform the area.
The site will soon make way for the construction of the "Super Tower", a towering 125-storey building that is set to become the tallest structure in both Thailand and Southeast Asia.
