Asiatique The Riverfront

Asiatique The Riverfront Night Market is located along the Chao Phraya River. Converted from a former dock and warehouse complex, it spans over 30,000 square meters and features a famous Ferris wheel landmark, earning it the reputation as Bangkok's most beautiful market. Inside, there are up to 1,500 shops, including general merchandise, clothing, souvenirs, creative lifestyle products, street food stalls, bars, and restaurants.

Asiatique Night Market is divided into several outdoor and indoor zones, with a very clean environment. Some shops are air-conditioned, making it comfortable to explore. The market mainly caters to tourists, so food prices are higher than at other night markets and there are fewer street food stalls. Instead, you'll find many themed restaurants with live music, as well as shows such as cabaret performances and Muay Thai fights. You can also ride the Ferris wheel or take a river cruise to enjoy the nighttime views of the Chao Phraya River.

Jodd Fairs

The former Ratchada Train Night Market closed in August 2021 due to the pandemic and later reopened at the end of the year at a new location, transforming into what is now known as Jodd Fairs. The iconic symbol shifted from a train to vintage cars, and the tents changed from colorful designs to minimalist white tents, giving the market a more trendy, artsy vibe. The new location is very convenient, just a few minutes' walk from Phra Ram 9 MRT Station.

Jodd Fairs is divided into two main areas: the wet zone and the dry zone. One area features food and beverage stalls, while the other focuses on clothing and retail vendors. There are also many food trucks on-site selling a variety of beers and cocktails.

When it comes to food, you'll find a wide range of Thai street snacks such as coconut pancakes, takoyaki-style octopus balls, skewers, crêpes, volcano ribs, and raw marinated seafood. In addition, there are sit-down restaurants offering noodle dishes, seafood, and more.

The One Ratchada

After the closure of the Ratchada Train Night Market, a new night market called The One Ratchada reopened at the original site. Unlike the former colorful tent design, the market now features uniform white tents throughout, giving it a cleaner and more spacious overall look.

Inside the night market, there are snack stalls selling a variety of Thai specialties. Must-try items include grilled jellyfish, crêpes, raw marinated seafood, Thai-style skewers, volcano ribs, and specialty beers. The dry goods area features creative lifestyle products, fashion accessories, and everyday items. In addition to small stalls, the market also has bars and nightclubs, with live performances by singers from time to time, creating a lively and vibrant atmosphere.
