Night markets are a big part of Bangkok’s charm. We’ve explored plenty, the stylish ones, the scrappy ones, and quite honestly, there’s something to love in all of them.
It’s not just shopping. It’s an experience: the food stalls, the people, the energy. The whole night market vibe is something else. And if you ask us, no trip to Bangkok is complete without visiting at least one.
We’ve put together ten of our favorite places we keep coming back to so you can jump right in.
10. Sukhumvit Night Market | Top 10 Night Markets
Sukhumvit Night Market is not one fixed place. It stretches along parts of Sukhumvit Road, specifically around Nana and Asok.

It’s easy to browse, especially if you’re already in the area for dinner or drinks. Prices are fair, and haggling is normal.
There’s plenty of street food around, grilled meats, sticky rice, and cold drinks to keep you going.
It’s not Bangkok’s most aesthetic market, but it’s convenient and lively. If you’re staying nearby, it’s worth a stroll after dark.

6. Train Night Market Srinagarindra | Top 10 Night Markets
This is Bangkok’s original ‘Talad Rot Fai’, the first and largest of the city’s train-themed night markets. You won’t see trains here, but you will find vintage jackets, neon signs, secondhand antiques, and old-school barbershops.
Located behind Seacon Square, it’s a bit out of the way but well worth the trip if you want something more local.
Fashion here leans edgy and old-school. You’ll also find plenty of streetwear, accessories, and handmade items.
The food scene is strong too, from classic Thai grilled meats to Thai desserts and bar-style seating with draft beer.

5. Indy Night Market | Top 10 Night Markets
Indy Night Market located in Thonburi is small, but has a local experience, mostly Thai crowd.
At the entrance, you’ll see people sprawl on the lawn with snacks and drinks, just hanging out.
Inside, there are more or less 500 stalls selling cheap fashion, crafts, slippers, hats, the usual graphic tees and more. Quality varies, but prices are low.
The food stalls are the main event here. Fried chicken buckets, Thai milk tea, spicy noodles, rolled wafers. Cool off with a watermelon smoothie.
There’s live music some nights, usually soft acoustic stuff that keeps the mood relaxed. It’s not that much of a trendy or flashy market.
If you’re staying nearby, it’s a fun night out. But don’t trek here just for this market alone.

Asiatique is a mix of open-air mall and night market, set right along the Chao Phraya River.
You’ll find boutique shops, souvenir stalls, and a long stretch of restaurants with views over the water.
It doesn’t have the feel of a traditional Bangkok night market, but the vibe is calmer. Expect fairy lights, wide boardwalks, and a giant Ferris wheel set the tone.
Prices tend to be higher than elsewhere, but there’s plenty to do.
Don’t miss the Sirimahannop tall ship or a sweet Thai tea from ChaTraMue. End the evening with a Calypso Cabaret or a riverside stroll.

1. Chatuchak Friday Night Market
Locally known as JJ Market, Chatuchak is Bangkok’s biggest and most legendary weekend market. With more than 15,000 stalls, it literally has everything: clothes, vintage décor, handmade crafts, plants, books, and even pets.
The market usually opens early and closes by 6pm. But since we’re focusing on night markets, Chatuchak’s night version happens only on Fridays and it’s a great time to visit. It’s cooler, less hectic, and still full of great finds.
Just keep in mind, some sections might not be open. If you want the full market experience, it’s better to come during the day on a weekend, as Fridays open later.
Bring cash, wear comfy shoes, and expect to get lost—in a good way.
Prices may vary, but there’s a huge variety here. If you’ve only got one weekend in Bangkok, make time for Chatuchak. It’s as close to “shop til you drop” as it gets.
Best For: Hardcore shoppers, bargain hunters, endless stalls
Opening Hours: Fri, 6 pm–12 am | Sat–Sun, 9am–6pm
