About Train Night Market

The Train Night Market is a bustling hub of activity that draws in visitors from all corners of the globe. Known for its excellent selection of antique and vintage goods sold at very affordable prices, it's a treasure trove for those seeking unique finds. The market is also a haven for food lovers, offering a wide array of delectable Thai street food. From handmade goods to retro clothing, the market offers a much better selection than many other markets in Bangkok. It's also a great spot for food and drinks, with a plethora of choices to satisfy any palate.

However, as with any crowded place, it's important to stay vigilant. One visitor shared a cautionary tale of losing their purse after being bumped into by a group of people. The visitor had been carrying a heavy bag and had decided to sling it to the side, making it an easy target for pickpockets. The visitor advises others to keep their bags in front of them, stay alert at all times, and avoid carrying large amounts of cash.

The Train Night Market is not just a weekend destination. While some visitors have expressed uncertainty about whether the market is open on weekdays, particularly Monday through Wednesday, it's worth noting that the market is a popular spot for locals and tourists alike, regardless of the day of the week.

The market is also known for its vintage ambiance. Visitors can find a variety of vintage items at reasonable prices, from small wooden cabinets to vintage vinyl players and even cars. The market also features a large food section where local and foreign delights can be savored. Getting to the market can be a bit tricky, but most visitors recommend taking a taxi directly to the market or taking the BTS to On Nut station and then hailing a cab. It's also advised to arrive at the market around 7pm, as many stalls don't open too early.

The Train Night Market, also known as Talad Rod Fai, is not just a market for vintage items. It also has a section selling modern goods. One visitor shared their experience of taking the BTS to On Nut and then a taxi to the market. Despite a minor detour due to the taxi driver taking a wrong turn, the visitor still had a positive experience, noting the friendly demeanor of the driver. The visitor also noted that the market is a food heaven, offering a wide variety of food options, including mutabak and insects.

In recent times, the Train Night Market has moved to a new location at Srinakarin Soi 51. This area is known for its large malls such as Seacon Square, Tesco Lotus Srinakarin, and Paradise. It's located in a different part of Bangkok, roughly between downtown and Suvarnabhum airport. Visitors can use the BTS Skytrain/Sukhumvit Line and get off at Udom Suk Station, then take a taxi or Song Teaw to Seacon Square. The market is expected to be just as good, if not better, at its new location with more modern facilities.

It's important to note that not all stallholders were willing to move to the new location, so there may still be some kind of market at the old location at Kamphaeng Phet. Therefore, it's advisable to check before setting off to visit the market. Regardless of its location, the Train Night Market remains a must-visit destination for those seeking a unique shopping experience and a taste of authentic Thai street food.
