Bangkok is home to some of the biggest and most unique night markets you can find in Southeast Asia. Whether you are visiting Bangkok for the first time, or finding new markets to visit, there is definitely at least one for you in this list of best night markets in Bangkok we have compiled! Here’s to shopping and eating lots of good food!
1. Srinagarindra Train Night Market
Rod Fai Night Market, or Srinagarindra Train Night Market, is an authentic open-air bazaar that specialises in selling a wide array of vintage collectables and memorabilia. Even if you are not a vintage collector, you can find many traders selling modern fashion and apparel typical of other night markets in Bangkok. Combine all these with cool restaurants, bars and snack stalls, and you get a night market where you can shop till night falls.
Address: 1 4 Srinagarindra Road, Nong Bon, Prawet, Bangkok, Thailand
Opening hours: 5pm to 1am (Thu – Sun)
2. BOX SPACE Ratchayothin
BOX SPACE Ratchayothin Night Market opened back in February 2016, so it is one of the relatively newer night markets in Bangkok. The market is decorated with 20 cool graphic re-painted containers. Here, you can find lots of hand-made accessories and handicrafts sold by young Thai entrepreneurs, and enjoy a variety of food ranging from Thai street food, to Japanese desserts, to nachos and burgers.
Address: 15, 15/1 Ratchadaphisek Road, Chatuchak, Bangkok
Opening hours: 6am to 12am (Mon – Fri) | 10am to 12am (Sat & Sun)
3. Siam Gypsy Junction Night Market (Permanently closed)
Siam Gypsy Junction Night Market was one of the best night markets in Bangkok. As it sat right alongside the State Railway of Thailand’s main track out of Bangkok, visitors could expect trains to roar past as they shopped, giving a whole other experience unlike any other night market in Bangkok. The market was famous for its huge number of vendors touting vintage wares spread out on the ground. There were also old-fashioned camper vans and mock taverns scattered across the market where visitors could find more retro furniture shops, bars, coffee shops and restaurants.
Unfortunately, this night market has closed down.
4. Talad Neon (Permanently closed)
Backed by the same people behind Platinum Fashion Mall, Talad Neon was one of the best night markets in Bangkok. It housed over 900 food and retail stalls, and since the stalls were all neon-themed, the market offered an Insta-worthy experience. Visitors who were tired from shopping all day could also recuperate at a two-storey massage shop, and enjoy the live music performances on-site.
Unfortunately, this night market has closed down.
5. Chatuchak Weekend Market
Once only popular among wholesalers and traders, Chatuchak Weekend Market has now become one of the best night markets in Bangkok and a must-visit for all tourists. Home to more than 8,000 market stalls, this is where you can literally shop ‘till you drop’. Some would claim that everything here seems to be on sale, but others argue that not everything is sold at the best bargain price, so be prepared to haggle for lower rates!
Address: Kamphaeng Phet 2 Road, Chatuchak, Bangkok 10900, Thailand
Opening hours: 7am to 6pm (Wed & Thu) | 6pm to 12am (Fri) | 9am to 6pm (Sat & Sun)
6. Liab Duan
This night market is especially popular with the locals, thanks to the affordable prices of clothes, toys, makeup, fashion accessories, and even knock-off luxury items (we’re not recommending them, though!). Liab Duan also offers many food options, ranging from Thai classics to pubs and bar establishments. Plus point – they even offer a petting zoo with sheep!
It’s no wonder that this is one of the best night markets in Bangkok!
Address: Tha Raeng, Bang Khen, Bangkok 10230, Thailand
Opening hours: 5pm to 12am (Mon – Sun)
7. Artbox Bangkok (Permanently closed)
Most people would be familiar with Artbox Bangkok, one of the best night markets in Bangkok. It was so popular that we’ve even had a few smaller runs of it right here in Singapore, with crowds flocking to the market the moment it opened.
Artbox Bangkok’s stalls (not all of them) were usually housed in giant metal shipping containers that could be moved around the city. This gave them the flexibility to set up the market anywhere in Bangkok. We loved it for its affordable items from local designers, vintage fashion, handmade accessories, funky gadgets, and hip home décor items.
Unfortunately, this night market has closed down.
8. JJ Green 2
Boasting chill, bohemian vibes, the JJ Green 2 Night Market comprises a mix of permanently built shops and bars, whilst local peddlers lay-out their merchandise on makeshift stalls or just spread it over the floor.
The entire night market is split into zones, and if you’re heading there to shop, you’ll be glad to know that the shopping zone is what will greet you first the moment you enter! There are a few food and dessert stalls scattered around here, but the treasures are all in the zone at the back. Get your fill of shopping first before heading to the food zone for some delicious local food. With so many options for food and shopping, there’s no doubt hat this is one of the best night markets in Bangkok.
Address: 61 16 Pracha Chuen Road, Thung Song Hong, Lak Si, Bangkok 10210, Thailand
Opening hours: 5pm to 12am (Thu – Sun)
9. Asiatique The Riverfront
Asiatique combines a night bazaar and a mall to provide a one-of-a-kind shopping experience. You can spend the whole night shopping and eating at any of the 1,500 boutiques and 40 restaurants housed under a huge replica warehouse complex.
And since this night market is located right beside the river, it offers a great view and some wind that will certainly cool you down. Enjoy the cool breeze for a bit before diving back into the market for more unique finds!
Address: 2194 Charoen Krung Road, Wat Phraya Krai, Bang Kho, Laem, Bangkok 10120, Thailand
Opening hours: 11am to 12am (Mon – Sun)
10. Chang Chui Bangkok Plane Market
With a plane in its display, this night market is sure to catch your attention. What’s more, the whole market is actually made with reused structures, and is a great sustainability project to prove the concept that nothing is useless. This creative hub houses an art gallery, a cinema, restaurants, cafés, tea house, street food, and many unique shops that will certainly satisfy the art lover in you. These are just some of the reasons why this is one of the best night markets in Bangkok!
Address: 460/8 Sirindhorn Road, Bang Phlat, Bangkok 10700, Thailand
Opening hours: 11am to 11pm (Mon – Sun)
11. Amphawa Floating Market
Located 50 km from Bangkok, this once small village apparently already existed in the mid-17th century. Over the years, it has attracted so many crowds on weekends that food stalls have grown from the riverbanks and stretched far into the surrounding streets. The main draw here is eating seafood on the small wooden boats, but if you want to try something unique, check out the unusual or even funny-looking food offerings, ranging from ice cream sandwiches to alien-looking helmet crab egg salad. With such a unique experience, this is truly one of the best night markets in Bangkok.
Address: Amphawa, Amphawa District, Samut Songkhram 75110, Thailand
Opening hours: 10am to 9.30pm (Fri – Sun)
12. Huai Khwang Night Market
Tired of visiting the same markets as everyone else and squeezing with tourists everywhere you go? Check out Huai Khwang Night Market, one of the best night markets in Bangkok, to catch a glimpse into the lives of ordinary Thais. You might get a few curious stares and face a few language issues with the stall owners, but the experience definitely makes up for it. This market is fantastic for night owls who want to do everything from shopping for clothes to getting their nails done.
Address: Soi Pracha Rat Bamphen, Din Daeng, Bangkok 10400, Thailand
Opening hours: 9am to 12am (Mon – Sun)
13. Suan Lum Night Bazaar Ratchadaphisek
The original Suan Lum Night Bazaar, which was a must-visit for many tourists until it closed several years ago, was reopened in December 2015 at its current new location. The new Suan Lum is slightly more out-of-town and has a more modern vibe than its predecessor. The shops and stalls are split between an indoor market area and an open air shopping street, and the type of goods on sale are quite typical of other night markets in Bangkok.
Address: 5 Ratchadaphisek Road, Chom Phon, Chatuchak, Bangkok 10900, Thailand
Opening hours: 5pm to 12am (Mon, Tue, Thu – Sun) | 5pm to 12.30am (Wed)
14. Jodd Fairs
This is probably the newest night market in Bangkok as it only opened during end-November 2021. The night market is said to be the rebranding of the famous Ratchada Train Night Market, one of the best night markets in Bangkok, and it currently sits near the location of where the popular night market used to be. As it has been a while since we last visited Bangkok, this is certainly top on our list of night markets in Bangkok to visit.
Here at Jodd Fairs, you’ll find organised rows of stalls with white tents selling all kinds of items, including delicious local fare, apparel, toys, and drinks. There are also vintage cars parked in the middle of the market for you to take photos with for the gram!
Address: Rama IX Road, Huai Khwang, Bangkok 10310, Thailand
Opening hours: 11am to 12am (Mon – Sun)
