Khao Suan Kwang Grilled Chicken at R Night Market Bueng Thap Chang

4.3(195 reviews)

Located along Thanon Mittraphap in the Cho Ho subdistrict of Nakhon Ratchasima, R Night Market Bueng Thap Chang is a local market anchored by the well-regarded Khao Suan Kwang Grilled Chicken stall, drawing residents and travellers looking for authentic Isan-style street food in a relaxed, open-air setting. The market brings together a variety of vendors offering grilled meats, snacks, and other regional dishes, making it a practical stop for those wanting to eat like a local rather than dine in a tourist-oriented restaurant. The atmosphere is casual and community-focused, typical of neighbourhood night markets found across the Korat region. Khao Suan Kwang-style grilled chicken is the headline draw — expect charcoal-grilled birds prepared in the aromatic, herb-seasoned tradition associated with that district — but the wider market offers enough variety to satisfy different tastes and appetites. Good to know: despite the "night market" name in the listing, the market operates seven days a week from 06:00 to 22:00, meaning it is accessible throughout the day rather than exclusively in the evening. Visiting in the late afternoon or early evening tends to offer the liveliest atmosphere and the freshest stock from vendors. The location sits on the Mittraphap frontage road, so arriving by private vehicle or rideshare is the most straightforward option, as the area is not well served by public transport.

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.
