Ratchada Train Night Market reopens at the same location

Let's talk about Ratchada Train Night Market – because it's finally back. The market closed down in July 2021, but as of last Friday March 27 it reopened at the same spot behind Esplanade Ratchada. It runs daily from 5pm to 1am.

So what's all the fuss about? Well, it's a bit of a shopping paradise, really. Clothing comes ridiculously cheap – a t-shirt will set you back around B100. You can pick up shoes, phone accessories and loads of random bits that make decent gifts or souvenirs if you're stuck for ideas.

The layout works a treat. One side of the market focuses on fashion, vintage finds and trinkets for the casual browser, while the other side belongs entirely to food. And there's an absolutely staggering amount of it. Serious foodies will have a proper field day wandering through the stalls.

Fair warning though: you won't get through everything in one visit. There's simply too much to try. Whether you know exactly what you fancy or you're happy to follow your nose and see where it takes you, the market delivers. Just don't rush it – you've got until 1am, after all, so take your time and enjoy yourself.
