Best Bangkok Night Market: Rot Fai

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.
