Indy Market Dao Khanong
This is what a Bangkok night market looks like when tourism hasn't found it. The crowd skews young and Thai, the prices are local prices, and nobody's going to hand you a laminated English menu. Around 20 to 30 food stalls, a similar number of clothing and fashion racks, five or six small bars, plus craft sellers and hairdressers working away at the edges.
The way it works is the good bit: buy your food from the stalls, carry it into one of the bars, order a beer and settle in. Some of the bars have live music. There's a large seating area and finding a table isn't usually the struggle it is at the busier markets in town. Western food exists if you need it, pizza, kebabs and fries, but I wouldn't come all this way for chips. Come for the Thai stalls and the cheap clothing racks.
Don't expect polish. It's a low-key, friendly, slightly scruffy market that's more about hanging around for a few hours than ticking anything off. If you want curated, go elsewhere.

Reviews from Google
Nice Little market. There are about 20/30 different food stalls and about 5/6 different bars. The seating area is quite large and we never struggled to find a seat. There are about 20/30 more fashion and clothes adjacent stalls also in the market so it could be a good place for people who like perusing cheap goods. Overall the market is very nice and has plenty of seating.
Amazing place to hang out with friends family or even a place to mingle with somebody Thailand market has everything from food to entertainment this is not big but enough to enjoy to drink with friends or to buys stuff.everything you need is here I love this place just chil, safe friendly market, They are only open at night till midnight
Quite a modernish local Thai market popular with the younger people. Lots of clothing stalls and a reasonable variety of foods. Western food available that I saw was pizza, kebab and fries. I would have thought burgers and ribs would sell well but could not see any. The atmosphere is relaxed, no big crowds, and there is plenty of seating. A nice place to enjoy a beer in the evening.

Tips for Visiting Markets & Shopping
Haggle at Markets, Not Malls
Prices at market stalls are negotiable — start at 50–60% of the asking price and meet in the middle. Fixed-price shops and malls don't haggle. Smile and keep it friendly; aggressive bargaining is considered rude.
Arrive Early or Late
Vendors believe the first sale of the day is lucky — you'll often get a better deal if you arrive right when the market opens. Late in the evening, sellers may also discount to avoid packing unsold goods.
Be Cautious with Tailors
Bangkok has excellent tailors, but also many tourist traps. Avoid anyone offering suspiciously cheap suits or who approaches you on the street. Ask your hotel for recommendations, read reviews, and always get two fittings.
