MOST BOOKED HOTELS
Asiatique
Asiatique has successfully combined two of the most popular shopping experiences in the city: a night bazaar and a mall. Ten minutes downriver from Saphan Taksin BTS station this once-bustling international trade port has been transformed, with over 1,500 boutiques and 40 restaurants housed under a huge replica warehouse complex. Open from 17:00, spending an evening here is no problem: you’ll have good fun browsing the boutiques, picking up gifts or something for yourself; you are guaranteed to find something you would like to eat and if this isn’t enough entertainment, shows are performed nightly.
Opening Hours: 17:00-midnight
Location: Chareonkrung Soi 74-76
How to get there: The easiest and fastest way to get there is via boat. Take the BTS to Saphan Taksin and jump on the free shuttle at the end of the pier. It only takes ten minutes, and the boat runs until 23:00. Taxis are not recommended as the traffic can be terrible in this area.
ArtBox Bangkok
The latest kind of Night Market to hit Bangkok. Unlike the so-called Container Market at the Bloc, here all the booths are actually organized inside real shipping containers. It also aims to attract hipsters with a “vintage style” theme with 300 stalls in the fashion zone and over 100 stalls in the food and cafe zone.
Opening Hours: Fridays - Sunday 15:00-24:00 ( Some week might close because of rain, So please check before you go.)
Location: MRT sirikit exit2,
Chatuchak Friday Night Market
The massive Chatuchak Market fills up every weekend, but not many know that you can actually come here for some night time shopping on Fridays, as vendors set up their stalls from around 21:00 until late. Expect much of the same as in the day on Saturdays and Sundays – just less heat, fewer people and not so many stalls open (for example, the homeware, gardening and pets sections are all closed). There’s more of a chilled-out, local vibe – with most of the main stores, restaurants and bars open around the main ring road of the market drawing in a young crowd from the nearby universities.
Opening Hours: Fridays 21:00-03:00
Location: Mo Chit BTS or Kampheng Phet MRT Station
JJ Green
JJ Green Night Market might just be the coolest place to shop in Bangkok, with its much more chilled-out, bohemian vibes when compared to the capital’s gargantuan Chatuchak Weekend Market just down the road. Part vintage flea market, part local drinking hangout, JJ Green is best visited on Thursday to Sunday evening, from 17:00 to 01:00, although many bars here keeps going until after midnight on Saturday and Sunday night, when the market is at its busiest. Come for the decent selection of vintage fashion, antiques, accessories, cheap eats and retro collectables.
Opening Hours: Thursday-Sunday 17:00-01:00
Location: 1 Kamphaeng Phet 3, Chatuchak.
How to go there: Mo Chit BTS or Kampheng Phet MRT Station (Behind Chatuchak)
On Nut Night Market
Step off the BTS at Ekkamai and you can’t miss this sprawling market, which begins to liven up around dusk, seven days per week. As well as a huge fresh produce section and clothes stalls, the undercover market also has a great beer garden at the back – hugely popular with the neighbourhood’s thriving expat community – and also stages live bands and has sports screens. Order your food and beer from any one of the surrounding vendors around the edge, with everything from Thai food, seafood, burgers, sushi and steaks on offer. It’s on the opposite side of the road to the huge Tesco Lotus Shopping Centre at On Nut.
Opening Hours: 16:00-24:00 Daily
Location: Below On Nut BTS Station
Train Night Market 1 (Srinakarin Road)
At Rod Fai Market, a huge open-air bazaar in the eastern suburbs of Bangkok, the vintage look never goes out of style. Spread on the ground is all kinds of collectibles and memorabilia from the yesteryear, from antique furniture to hippy fashion to Mao kitsch. Rod Fai Market definitely stands out from the hordes of outdoor markets across Bangkok but it could be hard to find as it’s spread out on a huge plot of land behind Seacon Square on Srinakarin Road.
Opening Hours: 17:00 - midnight (Thurs-Sun)
Location: Srinakarin Road Soi 51 (behind Seacon Square)
BTS: On Nut (closest station but still requires a taxi journey)
Train Night Market 2 (Ratchada)
The new Rot Fai Market in the Ratchada area of Bangkok is bringing the same convivial night bazaar feel, antiques curios, and street food snacks and treats from its original location, into an area of the city that is much easier to access thanks to the nearby Cultural Centre MRT Underground Station.
This new Train Market is more central and compact, meaning it’s easier to pop in for a spot of browsing anytime from 18:00 to 24:00, Thursday to Sunday.
Opening Hours: 18:00 to 24:00, Thursday to Sunday (Other day will be car boots sale)
Location: Ratcadaphisek Road (close to Esplanade Shopping Mall)
How to go there; Stop at MRT Thailand Cultural Centre, exit No. 3
Silom Road Walking Street (Sunday)
Silom Walking Street sees one of Bangkok’s most famous roads closed down, making way for huge pedestrianized zone that gets packed-out with hundreds of food, fashion, and electronics vendors. It runs every Sunday from 15:00 until around 22:00 and is particular easy to find in the center of Bangkok – directly underneath Sala Daeng BTS Station.
The market really excels on the street food front; every Thai dish in the history of the kingdom seems to be here, as well as some tasty international offerings like pizza, pastries, kebabs, and steak. There’s also live music, street performances and when we went, a traditional Thai dance show. Read More...
Opening Hours: Sundays 15:00-22:00 (Please note that Silom Walking Street is temporarily closed for rainy season during June and July. The exact reopening is still to be confirmed.
Location: Silom Road (Sala Daeng BTS)
Liab Duan Night Market
Drive a little further out of town and you’ll find this market whose name in Thai means “the market located along the expressway.” This night market transforms 17 rai of land in the Ramintra-Ekkamai neighborhood into pandemonium, with bumper-to-bumper cars crowding the entrance every evening.
Open daily 5pm-12am (Advice go after 630pm)
Address: Night Market near Ram Intra-At Narong Expressway, Praditmanoontham Rd, Bangkok. (Take Taxi because this night market is not near any BTS or MRT.)
Patpong Night Market
After recently cleaning up its act, Patpong's become one of the 'must' night shopping destinations for avid shoppers. Found in the built-up area known as Silom, the place is always busy and chaotic with all the commotion from the Go-Go bars nearby and lots of foreign tourists. This market in Bangkok's notorious nightlife district is often the first and easiest stop for many tourists just arriving to Bangkok, whilst lodging at one of several mid-to-upper-end hotels in Silom. Be warned though, the quality and prices of most items sold are about as real and trustworthy as the girls shaking their wares in go-go bars flanking the area. Both market and go-go bars seem to complement each other well, but remember not to be fooled by first impressions, and to bargain hard.
Opening Hours: 18:00 - around 01:00 (every day) (Decent Night Market)
How to get there: Coming from BTS Siam station, depart at Sala Daeng station and exit down one of the right-hand stairs. Follow the increasing trail of vendors along the sidewalk, and after five minutes, you'll know you're there.
