Last Updated: April 2026 – Includes new Bangna and Ratchada locations.
Looking for the best night markets in Bangkok? Our 2026 guide covers everything from the newly reopened Train Night Market Ratchada to the massive Owl Night Market. One of the “Must-Go” activities in Bangkok is definitely visiting its vibrant Night Markets as listed in my 15 Must-Go in Bangkok! The energy, the tantalising street food, and the shopping vibes are simply unbeatable. You can choose to relax at a market near your hotel, or take the train to soak into the atmosphere of other popular ones, many with their own unique themes.
However, Bangkok’s night market scene is ever-changing. Some famous spots have closed down (Artbox Bangkok, The One Ratchada, JJ Green) partly due to Covid-19, while exciting new ones have popped up or relocated. We have fully updated this list for 2026 so you can plan the perfect evening itinerary!
*Note: We have removed night markets which have closed permanently.
#1 Train Night Market (Talad Rot Fai) – Srinakarin and Ratchada
If we could only visit one night market in Bangkok, this would be it. If you love vintage items, antiques, and a buzzing atmosphere, Train Night Market (Talad Rot Fai) is the ultimate hipster haven. There are currently two main locations you should know about:
- Srinakarin Branch: The massive, original vintage market located behind Seacon Square. Take note that Srinakarin is not open daily (only Thursday to Sunday), so plan your weekend accordingly!
- Ratchada Branch: If you prefer a more central location, you can head to Ratchada, which is Bangkok’s newest night market (although not really new, but they gracefully reopened at their original site!). It brings back the iconic colourful tents, massive street food zones, and that classic night market magic right in the heart of the city.
Where > Srinakarin: BTS Udom Suk (transfer via taxi) | Ratchada: MRT Thailand Cultural Center (Exit 3)
Operating Hours > Srinakarin: Thursday to Sunday, 1700 – 0100 hrs | Ratchada: Daily, 1700 – 0100 hrs

#2 Jodd Fairs Ratchada
Jodd Fairs took Bangkok by storm with its trendy vibe, but take note: Jodd Fairs no longer has a Rama 9 branch as the lease expired and it has permanently closed. The only branch left is at Ratchada. Now, if you are heading there, you can also visit another one nearby Talad Rot Fai Ratchada, which technically is under the same boss! The new Ratchada location remains one of the best night bazaars to indulge in local street food and shop for affordable, trendy apparel.
Where > MRT Thailand Cultural Center (Exit 4)
Operating Hours > Daily, 1700 – 0100 hrs

#3 Save One Go Night Market – Sai Mai and Bangna

- Sai Mai Branch: Located right under BTS Yaek Kor Por Aor, catering heavily to locals living nearby.
- NEW Bangna Branch: They have just expanded with a massive new branch in Bangna! It is already packed every night and features an incredible variety of street food and shopping zones. To get to the Bangna branch, simply take the MRT Yellow Line and drop off at Si Iam Station.

#4 Liab Duan Night Market – Ramintra and DanNeramit
Liab Duan Ramintra, the original branch, has long been a favourite for locals looking for a huge variety of stalls and a relaxed vibe. Good news: they now have a new branch at DanNeramit!
Taking over the exact spot where Jodd Fairs DanNeramit used to be, the new Liabduan Danneramit night market is spacious, highly affordable, and features the iconic fairytale castle as a stunning photo backdrop. It is much less crowded with tourists, making it a fantastic place to chill, eat, and enjoy live music.
Where > Ramintra (Original) | DanNeramit: BTS Ha Yaek Lat Phrao or MRT Phahonyothin
Operating Hours > Daily, 1700 – 2400 hrs

#5 Asiatique The Riverfront
Asiatique is a beautiful, breezy open-air night market by the Chao Phraya River. It perfectly blends shopping, riverside dining, and entertainment in a spacious, photogenic setting.
What’s New: Asiatique has recently levelled up its entertainment with the opening of Jurassic World: The Experience (Jurassic Park)! It is a massive 6,000 sqm immersive dinosaur exhibition featuring life-like animatronics that will blow your mind. It’s an absolute must-visit if you are travelling with family or are a fan of the movies!

Operating Hours > Daily, 1700 – 2400 hrs

#6 Hua Mum Night Market
Those who visit the famous guys dancing (the iconic macho men seafood stall – Sathanee Mee Hoi Seafood) will definitely know this night market! It has always been a fantastic hidden gem mostly frequented by locals with zero tourist pricing. Please note that they have since relocated to a new location nearby. Expect the same great local prices, incredible food, and highly entertaining vibes without the massive tourist crowds.
Where > Kaset-Nawamin Rd
Operating Hours > Daily, 1800 – 2400 hrs

#7 Ramkhamhaeng Night Market
If you want to see where Bangkok locals actually shop and eat on a Tuesday night, head to Ramkhamhaeng. Located right in front of Ramkhamhaeng University, this market primarily caters to the large Muslim community in the neighbourhood.
This is the place to go for authentic Halal street food. You’ll find everything from charcoal-grilled meats and spicy Southern Thai curries to unique Malay-inspired snacks. It gets incredibly packed during dinner time (18:00 – 20:00) as thousands of students and locals flock here to buy their dinner to take home. Prices here are among the lowest in the city because it’s a true community market, not a tourist attraction.
Pro-Tip: Besides the food, this market is excellent for super-cheap fashion, mobile accessories, and hijabs. Since it’s a University area, the “student prices” apply to almost everything!
Where > Ramkhamhaeng Road (In front of Ramkhamhaeng University). Best reached via Grab / Taxi
Operating Hours > Daily (Closed Wednesdays), 15:30 – 22:30 hrs

#8 Indy Market – Dao Khanong, Pinklao, Chatuchak and Pratunam
Indy Market is highly loved by locals for its cheap street food, trendy clothes, and lively container-bar atmosphere. If you want to skip the mainstream tourist traps, Indy Market is the place to be. They have expanded aggressively, and you can now find them in several locations across Bangkok:
- Dao Khanong (Thonburi): The original, massive local favourite.
- Pinklao: Near MRT Bang Yi Khan, a vibrant hidden gem in West Bangkok.
- Chatuchak: No time to visit Chatuchak Weekend Market in the day, you can now visit from Friday to Sunday, 7pm to 12am. Do note that not all stalls are open. Only the external perimeter section is open.
- Pratunam: Yes, there is now one right in the Pratunam area (outside Palladium Mall)! Perfect if you are staying in the city centre and want a quick night market fix with budget-friendly food and crafts without travelling far.
Operating Hours > Daily, 1700 – 2400 hrs

#9 Owl Night Market (Talad Nok Hook)
If you are willing to venture slightly out of the city centre, Owl Night Market (Talad Nok Hook) is one of the biggest and most popular night markets in the neighbouring Nonthaburi province. With a fun, carnival-like atmosphere, it is a quirky, massive flea market filled with hidden gems—ranging from vintage fashion and second-hand goods to home decorations. Because it caters heavily to local residents rather than tourists, the street food and items sold here are noticeably cheaper compared to mainstream downtown markets!
Pro-Tip for getting there: Although the market officially opens at 4:00 PM, visitors are highly advised to arrive after 7:00 PM when the weather is cooler and all the stalls are fully set up. Take note that you might not find “Owl Night Market” on Grab; instead, search for “Nok Hook Flea Market” or simply copy and paste its Thai name to book your ride: ตลาดนกฮูก เลี่ยงเมืองนนท์.
Where > MRT Yaek Nonthaburi 1 (Purple line)
Operating Hours > Daily, 1600 – 2400 hrs (Highly recommended to visit on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday evenings for the full vibrant experience!)

No matter which market you choose to add to your itinerary, Bangkok’s night markets promise an unforgettable evening of sensory delights, endless snacking, and fantastic bargains. Grab your most comfortable walking shoes, carry some small cash, and make sure you show up with an empty stomach—your ultimate Thai street food adventure awaits!
