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 socialise on evenings and weekends.
Markets operate on different nights: Jodd Fairs Ratchada runs daily from 16:00; 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 (near MRT Phra Ram 9) 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 organised riverside atmosphere, Asiatique The Riverfront is easily reached by free shuttle boat, and Yaowarat in Chinatown remains the city's greatest night-eating street.

Jodd Fairs Ratchada: daily, roughly 16:00–midnight. 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 specialise in: vintage and second-hand clothing (Rot Fai, Chatuchak), handmade jewellery 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?
