If you have the chance to explore Thailand, definitely don’t miss these 6 super famous Bangkok night markets with their unique specialties and fashion of this country.

1. Jodd Fairs Night Market – Bangkok’s Central Night Market

Jodd Fairs Night Market is the official new version of the Train Night Market Ratchada, which was famous among those who love traveling in Thailand. Jodd Fairs is located behind the Unilever House building, not far from the closed location of the Train Night Market.

Having just opened in April 2023, this place has already attracted a large number of tourists to explore and experience. In contrast to the colorful space of the old Train Night Market Ratchada, the space here is harmoniously colored with uniform silver tents.

The market has approximately 200 stalls selling everything from clothes and shoes to souvenirs. In addition, Jodd Fairs Night Market in Thailand also has a vintage car display area for visitors to stop by and check-in with extremely cool photos.

At night, visitors can choose small bars decorated from vehicles, sitting and sipping a cool beer amidst Bangkok’s hot weather.

Similar to the Train Night Market, you can’t miss the super popular ‘giant’ spicy ribs that are highly favored at Jodd Fairs Night Market. The ribs are braised for a long time, arranged on a large plate in a pyramid shape, looking like a small mountain. The sauce is made from bone broth, with added spices such as lemongrass, coriander, onion, and especially a lot of green chili. The sauce has a slightly sour taste, quite similar to tom yum, yet rich and fragrant with lemongrass. The pungent green chili makes the dish even more appealing.

• Address: Jodd Fairs, Dan Neramit, Ladprao, Phaholyothin Road, Chomphon Subdistrict, Chatuchak District, Bangkok.

2. Khao San Road Night Market, Bangkok

Don’t say you’ve been to Thailand if you’ve never bargained on Khao San Road. This bustling shopping area is always lively, no matter the time of year. Perhaps accustomed to welcoming international visitors, the vendors in Khao San are usually cheerful and enthusiastic. Visitors can buy most of the necessary items such as fashionable clothes, accessories, sunglasses, or even get a tattoo. After shopping to your heart’s content, don’t forget to experience a Thai massage at a “bargain” price. You’re guaranteed to feel your muscles revitalized.

To get to this Bangkok night market, take the BTS Skytrain to the National Stadium station on the BTS Silom Line. The station is about 4km away from Khao San Road, so you’ll need to take a taxi for a short distance further. Taxi fares in Thailand are usually quite “soft” (inexpensive), so you don’t need to worry about the cost.

Many trendy clothing shops stand side by side with countless eye-catching and diverse fashion styles stretching all the way to Baiyoke Tower I and Baiyoke Tower II on Ratchaprarop 3 Road.

Asiatique is a unique Bangkok night market that combines a shopping area with an entertainment complex. With the Chao Phraya River cruise and classic architecture, Asiatique creates a romantic and exciting atmosphere.

What to Eat at Bangkok Night Markets

Most Bangkok night markets offer visitors certain memorable impressions. The items, clothing, and souvenirs sold in these Bangkok night markets all clearly reflect Thai characteristics.

More especially, the authentic Thai street food is always a super attractive experience for visitors from near and far. Let’s take a look at some of the most easily found Thai dishes in Bangkok’s night markets.

• Giant Spicy Ribs (in my opinion, Jodd Fairs night market has the most stalls selling this dish, and it’s the tastiest). Super-sized ribs are braised until tender and stacked into giant towers, covered with green chilies all around, which spicy and sour food lovers will adore. The main flavors of this dish are sour and spicy, with a very fragrant green chili aroma, similar to Thailand’s famous Tom Yum soup.
• Som Tam, also known to Vietnamese people as Thailand’s famous green papaya salad, is of course a dish that diners shouldn’t miss when visiting Bangkok’s night markets. The dish has a crunchy, sweet, sour, and especially spicy taste that will make you gasp but unable to put down your chopsticks.
• Pad Thai is simply Thai-style stir-fried rice noodles ^^ My experience with this dish is that it’s no less delicious than Vietnamese pho. The difference is that the noodles are wider and softer, with added dried shrimp and peanuts. If you add a lot of chili, this dish will be very impressive.
• Khao Niao Mamuang – Mango Sticky Rice is a very popular dessert in Thailand and loved all over the world for its fragrant, fatty, sweet, and nutty flavors coming from simple ingredients like sticky rice, ripe mangoes, peanuts, and coconut milk, creating an incredibly harmonious taste.
• Satay – Flavorful Grilled Skewered Meat is easily found in the food areas of Bangkok night markets. It has an Indonesian culinary style, but this dish is so popular and widespread that people even think it’s from Thailand.

Traveling to Thailand is always fresh and appealing to visitors. Besides factors like the Thai government subsidizing travel tickets to make them cheaper compared to other countries in the region, all the experiences during a tour here give visitors a feeling of absolute satisfaction. If you have the chance, I recommend you explore Thailand once to experience their wonderful approach to tourism!
