Good to know about the Train Market in Bangkok
The Rot Fai Market is located outside of the tourist area of the city and has become incredibly popular with locals, especially young, people. A second market has opened its doors a year ago which you can reach by BTS. So there are actually two markets now. We do recommend visiting the market outside of the city which is the original Train Market.

Things you will see on Bangkok’s Best Night Market
The Rot Fai Market is a huge market with over 2000 stalls selling vintage and new clothes, footwear, beautiful accessories, and furniture. Wait, there’s more: Get cut at one of the barbershops, admire the oldtimer cars, or get a drink and some food at the many bars & food stalls. Take it all in and get inspired by the ‘hipster’, creative, vibe of the Rot Fai Train Market.
And: Few tourists visit the Rot Fai Market because of its location, so you will get a fair price and there is no need to bargain.
Like to go for a drink? Enjoy a night out at the Rot Fai Market with live music from bands playing, all kind of beers, cocktails, spirits, and soft drinks prepared in old VW’s or colorful caravans. The bar area is a 20+ area.
