Paella once won regulars' loyalty but has declined, arriving cold and unappetizing. Payment systems exclude international visitors entirely. Owner can be forceful about ordering, and service prioritizes locals. - Live DJ music in market - Atmospheric lighting and alfresco setting - Well-crafted cocktails and drinks - Engaging head chef show - Paella quality has declined significantly - Cash-only or Thai QR payment only - Owner can be hostile to tourists Editorial summary by Best of Thailand, based on 10 Google Maps reviews as of October 2026. ## Reviews No reviews yet — be the first. ### Write a review Rating ## Contact & details **Address** 375 367 โครงการ 8 ซอย 16/1, Chatuchak, Bangkok **Website** [Visit website](https://www.facebook.com/Viva8JJ/) **Details last verified** October 2026 [Open in Google Maps](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=13.8018059,100.5516798) · [See it among every bar and club on the nightlife map](https://bestofthailand.org/nightlife/map#venue=viva-8-7c8328) ## Getting there - [MRT Chatuchak Park](https://bestofthailand.org/bangkok/near/mrt-chatuchak-park) (BL13) · 220 m · 3 mins walk - [BTS Mo Chit](https://bestofthailand.org/bangkok/near/bts-mo-chit) (N8) · 240 m · 4 mins walk Straight-line distance at 80 metres a minute — the real walk is longer wherever a canal or a superblock gets in the way.
