Guides to Bangkok's night markets — what's open, what closed, and what to eat when you get there.
Jodd Fairs “Ratchada” Night Market (จ๊อดแฟร์ รัชดา)
Bangkok does night markets like nowhere else: neon glow, clatter of woks, plastic stools that mysteriously multiply at sundown. Jodd Fairs “Ratchada” is the city’s latest tourist-friendly crowd-magnet—a slick, purpose-built reboot of the wildly popular Rama 9 market, now planted just off Ratchadaphisek Road by MRT Thailand Cultural Centre (Exit 4). Expect long, photogenic aisles,…
Jodd Fairs Night Market Rama 9
Jodd Fairs Night Market is one of Bangkok's newer night markets. It opened after Covid and is immensely popular with tourists, particularly Asian tourists (everything from Chinese, Vietnamese, Japanese, and Korean), but also local Thais. More than 700 stalls here have something to offer for everyone. The initial allure might come from the kaleidoscope of…
Indy Market Bangkok (Dao Khanong, Thonburi)
Welcome to the hidden gem of Bangkok's Thonburi district—Indy Market. Forget the tourist traps; this is where the locals go to shop, eat, and chill.

In the heart of Southeast Asia, where golden temples shimmer under the tropical sun, Bangkok stands as a testament to a rich cultural tapestry. A city where modern skyscrapers coexist with ancient shrines, and where traditions are not just remembered, but lived. At the epicenter of this vibrant dance between the old and the new…
Talad Rot Fai
*Note: This post was published in September 2012, and a lot has changed since then (it’s now March 2015). We’ve rewritten it a bit to reflect the changes since then, most importantly: the relocation.* Back in 2012, this was our favorite night market in Bangkok. Talad Rot Fai, which translates into english as “train market”…
Suan Lum Night Bazaar (Lumphini Night Market)
Suan Lum Night Bazaar (also known as Lumphini Night Market) has been the most popular Bangkok night market for many years – until it closed down in 2011. Their lease expired and they couldn’t renew it. When I came to Thailand the first time almost 20 years ago, it was one of the first night…
Patpong Night Market
Patpong night market is the most popular night market of Bangkok among tourists. Plenty of souvenirs, shirts and things like that. It’s located in Bangkok’s notorious red light district, so when you walk here don’t be surprised to see girls (and boys) advertising x-rated shows, gogo bars and special massages or x-rated DVDs. Most vendors…
Asiatique The Riverfront
Asiatique The Riverfront is the newest Bangkok Night Market, opened in May 2012. Ever since the closure of the Lumphini night market there have been different places that tried to “fill the gap” – and this finally is it. Actually it’s more than a typical night market – it could also be called a shopping…
