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

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.

Fabulous Market
Mar 2020
I am a frequent visitor to Bangkok and each time chose a new "attraction" to visit. This market is easy to get to. From my hotel it was a 20 minute walk to the train and then a quick trip, arriving a 2 minute walk away. There are 100s of clothing type stalls at this market and I found a uniquely desoigned shirt to purchase in rememberance of my visit. I was very impressed with its quality. As for food - wow what a selection. I had the most divinely tasting spare ribs so next time I'm going back for another round. There are plenty of bars and an infinite variety of eating options. Next time I'll combine a visit to this market with an afternoon visit to the Thailand Cultural Centre. A return visit is is a must.

Great place to try some local food outdoor!
Mar 2020
Enjoyed a great night outdoor here trying various Thai street food. Plenty of stalls here selling local food and various knick knacks. Had a great dinner of seafood followed by local fruits and desserts. Was told by my Thai friend that the crowd at the market during my visit was way down due to Corona virus. This was a bonus for me as I don't enjoy hot humid weather in outdoor places with huge crowds.
