The best Bangkok night markets open now are Jodd Fairs for street food, Asiatique for a riverside evening, Yaowarat for Chinese-Thai stalls, and the Train Night Market for vintage finds. Chatuchak runs into evenings on weekends; Pak Khlong Talat stays open all night. Book a Chinatown food tour or a hotel near Yaowarat.
We re-checked each market against official or primary sources on November 10, 2026. Asiatique hours and the free shuttle boat come from its own contact page. Chatuchak weekend hours come from the market website. Markets we could not confirm from an official page or the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) are left out. For a guided night of eating, start with the tours below; for neighbourhood hotels, see where to stay in Bangkok.
Which Bangkok night market food tour should you book?
A guide is worth it if you have one evening, do not read Thai menus, or want to try many dishes without guessing. These are the night and market tours we would book on Klook, with ratings as Klook showed them on October 28–29, 2026. Prices change by date, so check the live rate.
| Tour | Area | Length | Klook rating (checked) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Night MICHELIN Foodie Tour in Chinatown | Yaowarat | About 3 hours, small group | 4.5 from 47 reviews (Oct 28, 2026) |
| Samyan Midnight Street Food Tour by Tuk-Tuk | Sam Yan | About 4 hours, tuk-tuk and walking | 4.8 from 502 reviews (Oct 28, 2026) |
| Chatuchak Weekend Market Half Day Tour | Chatuchak | About 3 hours 30 minutes | 4.9 from 16 reviews (Oct 29, 2026) |

The Chinatown night tour matches this guide most closely. The Sam Yan tour suits people who want tuk-tuk hopping as well as food. Chatuchak's tour is a daytime-into-afternoon run on Saturdays and Sundays, when the full market is open. For more food-tour options, see our Bangkok street food guide.

What is Jodd Fairs, and where is it?
Jodd Fairs is Bangkok's best-known street-food night market for many visitors. Google Maps lists Jodd Fairs Ratchada at 129 Ratchadaphisek Road in Din Daeng, a short walk from MRT Thailand Cultural Centre on the Blue Line. The market does not publish hours on an official website we could read, so check its own Facebook or on-site boards before you go.
Carry small baht notes, eat at busy stalls that cook in front of you, and leave room for dessert. If you are staying near Siam or Sukhumvit, the MRT Blue Line is the simplest ride. Compare hotel dates near the Blue Line on Bangkok hotels on Expedia.
What should you know about Asiatique The Riverfront?
Asiatique The Riverfront is a riverside market and dining complex in converted warehouses on Charoen Krung Road, open every day from 11:00 to midnight according to its official contact page (checked November 10, 2026). The nicest arrival is the free shuttle boat between Sathorn Pier and Asiatique Pier, which the same page says runs from 16:00 to 23:30 every 25 to 30 minutes. Take BTS Saphan Taksin Exit 2 for Sathorn Pier.
Warehouses hold restaurants and street-food vendors, and Asiatique Sky is the Ferris wheel landmark. Entry to the complex is free; rides and shows are paid separately. See our Asiatique The Riverfront listing for the map and address (2194 Charoen Krung Road). For an evening on the river after the market, compare cruise dates on Chao Phraya Princess Cruise on Klook.
Is Chinatown a night market?
Yaowarat Road works like one: after dark, street-food stalls line the road and side lanes. Take the MRT Blue Line to Wat Mangkon, arrive before dusk if you want to see Wat Mangkon Kamalawat, then walk into the food streets as stalls set up. Our Yaowarat Chinatown guide and how to get to Chinatown by BTS and MRT cover the routes.
If you want to sleep near the stalls, Lub d Bangkok Chinatown on Expedia sits on Maha Chai Road at the old-town edge of Yaowarat. For what to order, use our Bangkok street food guide.
Where is the Train Night Market in Bangkok?
The Train Night Market Srinagarindra (Talad Rot Fai Srinakarin) is the vintage and collectibles market on Srinagarindra Road in Prawet, eastern Bangkok. The nearest rail stop is Suan Luang Rama IX on the MRT Yellow Line, a short walk from the market gates. Like Jodd Fairs, it does not publish hours on an official website we could read, so confirm before a special trip across the city.
Go for second-hand fashion, antiques and odd finds rather than a sit-down dinner destination. Pair it with a daytime Chatuchak run only if you have energy for two big markets in one weekend.
Does Chatuchak Weekend Market open at night?
Not as a full night market. The market website lists the whole market open Saturday and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., the plant section Wednesday and Thursday 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Friday evening wholesale-only trading from 6 p.m. (opening times, checked November 5, 2026). Come late afternoon on a weekend if you want shopping that carries into early evening, then move on to a true night market for dinner.
Full layout, sections and tips are in our Chatuchak Weekend Market guide. The map and phone number are on our Chatuchak listing. Next door, Or Tor Kor Market is the covered fresh-food option by day.
What about Pak Khlong Talat after midnight?
Pak Khlong Talat is Bangkok's wholesale and retail flower market, open 24 hours and liveliest after midnight when deliveries arrive. It is a short walk from MRT Sanam Chai in the Old City. It is not a food market, but a late walk among garlands and orchids is one of the most local things to do after dark. See our Pak Khlong Talat listing.
Which night market should you choose?
- Street food: Yaowarat or Jodd Fairs Ratchada.
- First evening with river views: Asiatique The Riverfront, by the free shuttle boat after 4 p.m.
- Vintage and collectibles: Train Night Market Srinagarindra.
- Weekend shopping: Chatuchak from late afternoon, then another market for dinner.
- After midnight: Pak Khlong Talat.
Carry enough Thai baht, bargain politely where it fits, keep bags zipped in crowds, and plan your MRT or boat route before you go. For more evening ideas, see things to do in Bangkok at night and our Bangkok shopping guide.
Where should you stay for Bangkok night markets?
Stay near the market you will visit most. Chinatown and the old-town edge suit Yaowarat and Pak Khlong Talat. Siam or a Blue Line hotel suits Jodd Fairs. A riverside or Sathorn-area hotel suits Asiatique because of the Sathorn Pier shuttle. Chatuchak is easiest from Ari, Phahonyothin or a hotel near Mo Chit / Kamphaeng Phet.
Compare dates on Expedia Bangkok hotels, and use best hotels near the BTS if rail access matters more than walking to a single market.
