What activities are most popular in Bangkok? Of course, you'll go shopping and eat! It is not surprising to learn that you may practically shop and eat all day long in this city given its wide range of shopping malls, gorgeous cafes, and night markets.

Both Westerners and Thai people enjoy night markets because they can buy food and beverages at low prices, and the major night markets in Bangkok are exciting places to shop.
With that being said, let's read on and find out more about the best night markets Bangkok has to offer!
1. Srinagarindra Train Night Market
Srinagarindra Train Night Market is a fun marketplace in Bangkok that was once a train track. But of cause, you won’t find any trains passing by this market! What you’ll find at this night market instead are women's clothes, men's clothes, accessories, and even vintage antiques for sale – all at very reasonable prices. And if you ever get hungry, there are so many food options for you too!
Make sure you are familiar with the three sections beforehand so that you won't miss out! These are Market Zone, Warehouse Zone, and Rod's Antiques. The best zones for unique collectibles are the first two. You can view a variety of vintage items, including cameras, vintage automobiles, motorcycles, and even Japanese anime toys.
However, the Market Zone features an amazing selection of current trends like fashionable clothing and stylish accessories. There are a ton of kid-friendly items and souvenirs available too.
PS: Having previously spent time touring this enormous night market, we can tell you that it will take you in spending from one to five hours to see everything that is on offer!

7. The One Ratchada Night Market
With the famous Ratchada Train Market closed down, many Bangkok night markets in the area have popped up in its place - one of them being The One Ratchada. The One and Jodd Fairs are now competitors, and one of their greatest compares is that The One has a considerably larger market than Jodd Fairs.
But size doesn’t always matter! There is a ton of street food available, similar to other night markets, though not as much as at Jodd Fairs or even the previous Ratchada Night Market.
Located behind Esplanade Ratchadaphisek, you’ll find rows of clothes and food being sold at numerous stalls in white tents, all located side by side.
For starters, imagine grilled squid from THB 20 a skewer. This is just so affordable and delicious - and more local delights are available! When you return to Bangkok, make your way over to this market's entrance for your chance to get the perfect Instagram photo!

What we love about Asiatique, one of the night markets located by the Chao Phraya River (other than the beautiful river views) is that they have a great selection of Thai knickknacks and crafts, as well as local brands and even well-known stores like Miniso.
Because of its amazing location, it is one of the most scenic markets in the city. The display of chic boutiques and open-air restaurants complements the entire scenery.

11. Liab Duan Night Market
The first thing you'll notice about Liab Duan Night Market is how well-lit it is, thanks to the massive Christmas tree, Transformers robot, and Eiffel Tower sculptures that have been placed around the market. Like most of the markets on the list, but not all of them, you can expect to shop till you drop while savoring the delectable night markets foods on offer.
You'll think that Hua Mum Night Market's environment and selection of stores are identical. But Liab Duan is open every day, yet some store vendors might choose to take a day off on Monday to relax. So if you intend to visit on Monday, do lower your expectations.

Although it’s a night market, the highlight of Chang Chui Plane Market is actually the abandoned plane in the center of the market. One of its highlights is the massive airplane that comes with a restaurant inside! Likewise, the market scene is filled with upscale shops and colorful decorations.
Once you’ve eaten at Na Oh, the fine dining restaurant, or taken photos of the plane - remember to walk around and shop at the stalls surrounding the plane – the selections here are pretty unique too!

The Street Ratchada Night Market is a great option if you like a more relaxed atmosphere while still having a great time at a night market because big ones can get fairly crowded and noisy.

15. Ong Ang Walking Street
Technically, Ong Ang is a night market, however, in comparison to the other markets, Ong Ang is just a walking street. Still, you may also find that, along with searching for some souvenirs and street food, one of the coolest things to do is admire street art.
And go to Little Bhutan, which is in the center of Ong Ang Walking Street, if you want to try eating anything from a less popular cuisine.
Klook Tip: Visiting Khlong Ong Ang Walking Street can easily be combined with a visit to Chinatown.

Empty your stomachs and get ready to feast on lots of delicious food at Chinatown Food Night Market! Despite it being on a street, you’ll find numerous delicacies like fish maw and shark fin soup, clay pot rice, Peking duck, and everyone’s favorite Pad Thai.

While Chinatown has a far wider variety of street food, Khao San Road focuses primarily on young Western tourists and has more clothing, flip-flops, sunglasses, and other items that can be found in night markets.
If you enjoy partying, Khao San Road is a great place to sample some street food, shop, and then spend the night at one of the many bars.
