Best Night Markets in Bangkok
Bangkok's top-rated night markets — street food, shopping, and atmosphere after dark.
13 placesAvg 4.4 on GoogleUpdated Mar 2026
Bangkok's night markets are some of the best in Southeast Asia — a mix of vintage fashion, street food, live music, and local crafts all condensed into buzzing outdoor spaces after dark. Unlike the grand air-conditioned malls, night markets are where Bangkok locals actually shop, eat, and socialize on evenings and weekends.
Markets operate on different nights: Jodd Fairs Ratchada runs daily from 17:00; the Train Night Market on Srinagarindra Road — the sprawling original Rot Fai, with its vintage cars and antique warehouses — runs Thursday–Sunday from 17:00; Asiatique opens nightly by the river. Chinatown's Yaowarat Road is a night market in all but name every evening. Bring cash — most stalls don't accept cards.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best night market in Bangkok?
Jodd Fairs Ratchada (beside MRT Thailand Cultural Centre) is currently Bangkok's most popular night market — hundreds of stalls, excellent street food, and a younger crowd. For vintage and retro goods, the Train Night Market on Srinagarindra Road is unbeatable. For a more organized riverside atmosphere, Asiatique The Riverfront is easily reached by free shuttle boat, and Yaowarat in Chinatown remains the city's greatest night-eating street.
When do Bangkok night markets open and close?
Jodd Fairs Ratchada: daily, 17:00–01:00. Train Night Market Srinagarindra: Thursday–Sunday 17:00–01:00. Asiatique: daily 16:00–midnight. Patpong: nightly from about 18:00. Chinatown's Yaowarat food street builds from 18:00. Markets get most lively after 19:00 when Bangkok cools down.
What can I buy at Bangkok night markets?
Night markets specialize in: vintage and second-hand clothing (Rot Fai, Chatuchak), handmade jewelry and accessories, local designer fashion, street food and snacks, plants and ceramics (Chatuchak), electronics and gadgets, and Thai handicrafts. Bargaining is expected — start at 50–60% of the asking price for clothing and accessories. Food stalls generally have fixed prices.
How do I get to Bangkok night markets by BTS or MRT?
Jodd Fairs Ratchada: MRT Thailand Cultural Centre, a two-minute walk. Train Night Market Srinagarindra: MRT Yellow Line to Suan Luang Rama IX, then about 10 minutes' walk behind Seacon Square (the line stops before the market closes, so take a Grab back). Asiatique: free shuttle boat from Sathorn Pier at BTS Saphan Taksin. Patpong: BTS Sala Daeng. Taking the metro or boat avoids weekend traffic wherever possible.
