Bangkok’s night markets are an attraction all on their own, not only because of the goodies you find, but because the vibes are truly authentic, giving you a feel for the city’s nighttime energy. If you’re on the lookout for the best in Bangkok, these night markets should definitely be on your list.
Jodd Fairs Ratchada
Not far from hotels like Avani Ratchada Bangkok Hotel, this exciting market has over 1500 stalls and restaurants that sell everything from vintage fashion to modern trendy clothing. This night market in Ratchada also treats you to some of the city’s best street food, with live music venues adding to the vibe.
Indy Market
Opening daily at 5 p.m., this market is a top favourite among the locals. It may not be as big as Jodd Fairs, but it makes up for it by crafting a more authentic community experience, with stalls selling local handicrafts and with fewer tourists in sight.
Asiatique The Riverfront
This is arguably one of the more iconic spots in Bangkok, located by the Chao Phraya River. The energy here is more upscale, complete with a giant Ferris wheel, Calypso Cabaret shows and the convenience of a modern shopping centre.
Train Night Market
This market sets itself apart with its extensive collection of vintage collectibles and fashion, and al-fresco barber shops. You’ll find it behind Seacon Square Mall, and once you get a sense of its old-school charm, you’ll find yourself wanting to linger just a little longer.
