Think Park Night Market
Two hours is all you get here, 8pm to 10pm, so treat this as an evening stop rather than a plan for the night. It sits in an open-air park right in front of Maya Mall on Nimmanahaeminda Road, and it's a fraction of the size of the Night Bazaar. That's the appeal. Fewer crowds, more room to actually look at things, and a strong Japanese and Korean influence running through the design, the food stalls and the signage.
What's on the tables is mostly handmade: clothing, crafts, accessories. Reviewers consistently flag that prices sit above what you'd pay at a standard tourist market, which is what happens when a market sets up in Nimman. Bring more cash than you think you need. Around the edges, permanent cafes, restaurants and bars keep going after the stalls pack up, some with live music, so you can roll straight from browsing into a drink without moving your motorbike.

Very cool little market. Some restaurants around. Lots of handmade crafty things and handmade clothes, you'll definitely need some extra cash here as its a little but upscale (I think it's because of the location across from Maya Mall). Overall cool little place to walk around and so many photo ops!!
Just another night market. But not crowd like night bazaar. You can get local hand made stuff from this night market. Or you can eat local food here. (A lot of traveler here) At this place, they also have some alcohol too. ( around there, they have some bar too ) You can park your motorcycle around here or park you car in MAYA Shopping Mall ( They close at 24:00 ).

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.
