Positives:

Challenges:

  • Pickpocket risk: Keep valuables secure in crowded lanes.
  • Persistent solicitors: Firmly decline offers for adult shows to avoid unwanted attention.

Very cute market but extremely short. Would’ve loved to have a longer walk. Also, the ping pong show advertisers kept on haggling me which dampened the experience. Food was 10/10, vibes was 7/10.

If Bangkok’s days are lively, its nights are electric. The city’s night markets are not just places to shop—they’re cultural experiences, social gatherings, and culinary adventures rolled into one dazzling evening. Take a stroll through Asiatique for a riverfront fairytale with Ferris wheels and boutique stalls, or get wonderfully lost in the neon maze of Rot Fai Market (Train Market), where vint...

On the end he did want to sell it for 5000 bath. I bought next day on the airport 2 Swatch Omega watches. 9900 bath each. All the pingpong shows, I did read that it can be a scam and give problems. Better to find a ...

One of the most famous night market in Bangkok. The food price still reasonable, not olny food, the market features numerous stalls selling a wide array of items, including clothing, accessories, electronics, souvenirs, and counterfeit designer goods.

Very festive and vibrant vibes! Didn’t get to take a seat right away cos it was really crowded. Nevertheless, the food was nice! Enjoyed the Roti with cheese or I was just hungry. What I don’t recommend would be the crab salad - cos it just tastes very bad. 🥲 After meal, we went to see a pingpong show. 🥹
