About
This outdoor market is one of Bangkok's famous night markets, known for its rows upon rows of colorful tents. Here, you can check out vintage gift shops, cool bars, and other interesting locals selling clothes, accessories, and home decor. And who can forget the food? Savor authentic Thai street food like grilled skewers, fried seafood, crepes, and even fried insects, if you're feeling brave. To snap a photo of the iconic tents from above, head up to the parking house nearby. Explore the rest of Bangkok on a food or night tour, which often includes this market as a stop. – Tripadvisor

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

To small and not many food options
Oct 2023 • Friends
The market was quiet and is quite small with quite a few empty stalls. Especially if you are looking for food there are not many stalls to choose from. We arrived at 8pm and were followed and shouted at by at least 5 people holding large menues for their sit down food area. Honestly it was quite uncomfortable.
Give this market a miss - so many better ones in Bangkok!

The one Ratchada
Sep 2023 • Solo
夜市都很大, 坐MRT到Traditional Culture Centre站跟人潮便到達, 建議較早6點到達, 先慢慢找間心水食店, 烤魚最好味 ,其他海鮮卻是一般。吃飽後逛逛夜市購物, 有些店舖可講價的, 逛到累又找間店吃甜品

Quite a bit if empty stalls near the back. No vibes and mediocre stalls
Jul 2023 • Couples
Worst market experience of the bunch (joddfair, srinagarindra, chatuchak)

This night market have lots of empty stalls especially towards the back. Does not have the night market atmosphere. Stalls are mediocre and definitely not a must-come. Prices are higher than chatuchak in comparison. Might not visit again next time

Night Market Worth Visiting
Apr 2023 • Family
Really enjoyed this - a big and thriving night market. Well worth a visit. It’s not what I’d call a pure locals market - for example you could buy your meat and veggies there - but does offer up a good selection of food and beverages, and lots of stalls selling well produced and interesting items. It’s not your second hand or touristy tat you see elsewhere (e.g. Patpong, or floating markets).

We were there with our 10 yo, from approx 7.30pm until 10.00pm. Felt very safe, she loved it. It was busy with a good mix of locals and foreigners, young and old , and offered us a much more fun night that we would have had by going to a restaurant or staying in the hotel 😀 🇹🇭🙏

Fantastic market
Apr 2021 • Solo
I love it here - huge variety of food, drink, bars, restaurants, stalls, shops. There is a huge variety here with very tasty food. All is for great value too! Highly recommended coming here during a trip to Bangkok. Can be easily accessed by MRT (Thailand Cultural Central) or by taxi.

Wow - relaimed by the locals - what a nice reversion back to what it originally opened as.
Mar 2021
I am happy to report that once again the Ratchada Train Night Market is an authentic non touristy local food/drink/shopping market like when it began back from 2013 to about 2015 or so. It has been reclaimed by the Thais and is now very enjoyable with value pricing for everything. Gone are the awful Chinese tour group hoards that completely destroyed the ambiance, their dozens of tour buses that created a nightly traffic nightmare in front of the Esplanade shopping center, and the overly crowded rush hour-like Thailand Cultural Center MRT station. I lived next to this market for 10 years and this nightly invasion was one reason why I moved out of the area in 2018. The the virus came and essentially wiped the slate clean and the reclaiming of this market by the Thais is definitely a huge benefit. I hope to god that this market can stay this way for awhile and be enjoyed by everybody and not dominated by only one group of annoying tourists.

Fun but l would not go back
Jul 2020 • Friends
This is for tourists. I'm sure if that was me, ld have loved it. It was fun, but not as big as l was lead to believe it was.
A lot ofvthecantique shops that sell vintage cars, vans and motorcycles and all the Americana shops had shut up shop and gone.
Maybe this is down to the virus.

Rainbow Markets!
Mar 2020 • Solo
This is a truly unique night market and certainly worth a visit. You can literally buy almost everything and anything here, from clothes, shoes, handbags, toys, textiles vintage & antique items as well as street food. One end of the markets has a string of VW vans covered in fairy lights - very pretty. For a really cool view looking over the market you can go into the old carpark located in the Esplanade Mall – Level 4. For detailed directions on how to find this location, please send me a message. Happy Exploring.
