JJ Night Market Kanchanaburi

4.3(3,488 reviews)

Running every night of the week from 5 PM to 10 PM, this bustling flea market in the Ban Tai area of central Kanchanaburi draws a lively mix of locals and travellers looking for an authentic evening out. The market is particularly well-placed for those staying along River Kwai Road, and sits within easy walking distance of the train station, making it a natural first stop after arriving from Bangkok. Food is the main draw, with vendors serving grilled meats, noodle dishes, hoy tod (oyster omelette), desserts, and a wide range of Thai street food to suit most palates. Alongside the food stalls, casual clothing, accessories, and general merchandise round out the browsing options. The atmosphere is energetic and can feel stimulating during peak hours, with tightly packed stalls and busy crowds typical of Thailand's night markets. Good to know: The market operates on an open-air site, so vendors may pack up early on rainy evenings — arriving before 6 PM helps beat both the crowds and any weather disruptions. Seating is limited and bins are scarce, so be prepared to eat standing or on the move. Bring small cash notes, as card payments are not standard here. Comfortable shoes are recommended for navigating the busy stalls.

Great night market. Very convenient if you are staying in the River Kwai road area. On rainy nights the vendors may pack up early so plan accordingly. Pro tips: there is a Hoy Tod seller towards the back left corner that makes delicious food as well as a Laarb seller in the middle left. The sellers form a corridor that causes you to go around like a maze, I recommend that you do an entire lap and look at everything and then double back and make your purchases. Then if there is anything else you need you can hit seben right across the street. I go to this JJ market every time I visit Kanchanaburi now!

Such a good night market, there's almost anything for everyone. Too bad today is raining. You can get lots of great food, for almost every palate and every taste. Also the non food item stalls are a plenty... Will try come back if there is no rain. Really enjoyed my short time visiting.

Nice market. There is nowhere to sit, and no bin, everyone piles trash up on the sidewalk. Personally I find it overstimulating because it’s very busy and impossible to rest. The children’s play area is great tho, 30 baht for 20 mins on the bouncy castle and trampolines and you can buy and paint plaster figurines. Also if you get some food and drinks before you take your kids there, you can sit down and eat at the kids painting table. Theres even a small garbage bin there! My daughter left her sandals there and we came back the next day and they were still there. The massages are outside of the market stalls, to the far left, if your facing into the market from the street. 30 mins for 100 baht and it was incredible. Also there are toilet there, you have to pay 3 baht in small coins into a turnstile, but the toilets are very clean, there a woman in there with a sewing machine who will mind your stuff

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.
