One of the best parts about holidaying or even living in Krung Thep Maha Nakhon (Bangkok) is the vast choice of markets that offer fabulous bargains and introduce you to some aspects of Thai culture. 

Talad Rot Fai is a night market in Krung Thep Maha Nakhon (Bangkok) that is not as well-known to tourists but is just as great, especially if you are a backpacker or a keen bargain hunter. It may also be known as the Srinakarin/ Srinagarindra Train Night Market. This open-air market is similar to a bazaar and sells many goods, such as vintage memorabilia, antique furnishings, hippy fashion items, and much more.

Join us on a stroll through the hustle and bustle of the Talad Rot Fai Night Market in Bangkok.

  Did You Know?

The Talad Rot Fai is a night market for antique lovers as you can find all kinds of old vintage stuff, and that too for a bargain price. It's an open market, and you can spend your night here enjoying the street food and bars.

Top-Notch Night Market in Bangkok

Although there are many night markets in Krung Thep Maha Nakhon (Bangkok), most are pale compared to Talad Rot Fai. This is a diverse market where you can buy unique things such as a 1950s Cadillac, chandeliers from France, and even action figure collectibles from places such as Japan. There is no other market like this in Bangkok. 

Some people visit the market at one of the bars or snack stalls, sit, and people-watch. If you want to come and check out the market, especially on the weekends, we recommend you take the BTS Skytrain to the On Nut Station and then catch a taxi to Seacon. The traffic can be pretty bad on Saturdays and Sundays.

  Trivia!

There are over 2,000 stalls at the Talad Rot Fai night market.

Checking out the Market Zones

Exploring the market’s three zones can literally take you all evening, but it is an enriching experience. And you might find the bargain of a lifetime. The Warehouse Zone is where you will find many second-hand household items, shoes, fashion items, old electronics, and more. 

If you are looking for premium-style antiques, we suggest you check out the Rod’s Antiques Zone. This is a real treasure trove sort of place; you never know what type of item you will find. From old photographs to antique furniture, this is one of the unique places in Krung Thep Maha Nakhon (Bangkok) to shop. The best part about Rod’s Antique Zone is the goods could be from any place in the world, not just Thailand or Asia, which makes it an exciting experience.

The third and final zone is the Market Zone, home to over 2,000 stalls equipped for everyday products such as toys, clothes, shoes, etc. Although the prices here are already very affordable, it makes sense that you do some haggling to ensure you get the best prices. You will also find most food stalls and bars serving all food and beverages here. Give the market a visit. You will have a great time. 

  Did You Know?

The Talad Rot Fai is a night market split into three distinct sections for the type of goods on offer: the ‘Market Zone,’ ‘Warehouse Zone,’ and ‘Rod’s Antiques.'
