Night markets to see in Thailand
Night markets to discover in Thailand
In Thailand, night markets are very popular. First and foremost, they're great places to grab a bite to eat in the evening and a great place to discover the Thai street food. Sometimes you can also do a bit of shopping there, clothes, souvenirs, gadgets, handicrafts, high-tech products sometimes ect....Contrary to what you might think, night markets in Thailand exist almost everywhere, not only in tourist areas. And most of them are mostly frequented by the locals. There are of course some exceptions.
In recent years, there has been a new type of night market in Thailand that has spread and is called Walking Street because they settle, one or more days a week, usually on the weekend, on a section of street closed to traffic for the occasion. Whether it's the daily night markets or the walking streets, I urge you to go there for dinner. The atmosphere is quite unique and they are friendly places where you'll be able to try lots of Thai specialties and enjoy delicious Street Food!
Saturday Walking Street
Chiang MaiBig night market a little less known than Sunday Walking Street, Chiang Mai Saturday Walking Street also attracts a lot of people and allows you to do a little shopping and have dinner by tasting the local cuisine at the very numerous stalls and street restaurants. The neighboring Silver Temple is also superbly lit and open to the public these evenings.
Ayutthaya Weekend Nigh Market
AyutthayaThis night market offers a very nice decor and a pleasant atmosphere. It is held on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings in the heart of the city near the most famous historical temples of Ayutthaya. This is particularly a place that I recommend for dinner and discover the local cuisine.
Tamarind Market
Hua HinA little after the Cicada Market, this other Hua Hin night market is open exactly the same evenings. It is almost entirely dedicated to food and drinks. It's personally my favorite weekend night market in Hua Hin.
Patio Old TOwn Night Market (ex Chatsila Night market)
Hua HinThis small night market juxtaposed to the Hua Hin Night Market offers a more intimate and artistic atmosphere with live music, art galleries and a pretty setting in a courtyard with white wooden bungalows. Personally, this is a night market that I really like.
Walking Street
Mae Hong SonThe Walking Streets in Thailand are night markets that take place a few evenings a week or sometimes every evening in one or several streets that become pedestrianized for the occasion. They are often pleasant places to eat local street food. Mae Hong Son Walking Street in addition is in a superb setting !
Night market
Udon ThaniThe large Udon Thani culinary night market is located near the train station. It’s a bit of a Thai street food paradise. Very popular with locals, I recommend it a lot more than its neighbor called UD Town.
Rayong Walking Street
RayongThis large weekly night market, which is held in the most historic and charming street in Rayong, allows you to discover the atmosphere of Thai night markets, to taste the local street food at the many stalls and to do some crafts and souvenirs shopping.
Phimai Night Market
PhimaiThis small night market takes place every evening in Phimai city near the clock tower. There are many Thai Street Food stalls but it is also a more classic fresh market with fruit and vegetable, fish and meat vendors and also in the left aisle stalls selling clothe
Sunday Walking Street
Chiang MaiThis big night market takes place every Sunday night in the center of Chiang Mai including food stands in two temples. A popular ambience. We really suggest you to go even if you will not be alone !
Krabi Town Walking Street
KrabiLike all Walking Streets except the one in Pattaya, it's a big night market that takes place a few days a week, in Krabi on weekends, in a few streets of the city, cut off from traffic for a few hours. It's especially nice to eat a wide variety of Thai Street Food.
Sunday Walking Street
Chiang RaiThis big night market, set up in a street in the center of Chiang Rai becoming pedestrian for the occasion, is one of the things I love the most about Thailand. It is a funny and friendly place for shopping but also and above all to come for dinner and discover the Thai Street Food, one of the best and most tasteful in the world.
Weekend Walking Street
LampangEvery weekend, a long part of Talad Gao Road in Lamapang becomes pedestrian and hosts a large night market with restaurants, food and drink stalls, clothes, handicrafts ... A Walking Street, that unlike Chiang Mai walking streets, mostly see locals and very few tourists come.
Walking Street
Chiang KhanThis large night market is held on the most emblematic and historic street of Chiang Khan city. The one which, with its traditional wooden houses, also hosts one of the most famous morning alms offerings to Buddhist monks in Thailand. It's a good place to experience Thai street food and do some shopping.
Loei Night market
LoeiThis mall market installs its stalls of local food and iron tables and chairs every evening. For me, it is really an experience to live at least once during your trip to eat in a Thai night market. A good way to discover the local life and the famous Thai Street Food.
Uthai Thani Walking Street (Trok Rong Ya Walking Street)
Uthai ThaniThis large night market located in 2 streets which become partly pedestrian for the occasion is held every Saturday evening in Uthai Thani city. This is an opportunity to taste and discover Thai Street Food by picking your dinner at the numerous food stalls and to enjoy this quite unique atmosphere.
Neon Market
BangkokThis fairly new night market is one of the nice places to dine or shop in Bangkok in the evening. Its weak point remains its location a little far from the metro.
JODD FAIRS Rama 9
BangkokThis is one of the nicest night markets in Bangkok. Large selection of food and clothing and craft products including jewelry. A great place to eat well and shop especially as it is right next to a large shopping center.
Cicada Market
Hua HinIt is one of the many night markets in Hua Hin and certainly the most popular. It is only held on weekends and offers shows, shopping for unique products and a dinner in a pleasant setting.
Walking Street
Prachuap Khiri KhanThis pop-up night market that is only held a few days per week on a portion of Prachuap Khiri Khan city's seaside road is pleasant and the perfect place to experience Thai street food in all its diversity.
Saturday Walking Street
Chiang RaiAnother big night market that settles in a street in the center of Chiang Rai beoming pedestrian to accommodate for a few hours vendors of all kinds (clothes, souvenirs, vegetables, artcrafts) and of course many Street food stalls
Night Bazaar
Chiang RaiThis night market takes place every night in Chiang Rai city right next to the Bus Terminal Number 1. You can certainly do a little shopping there but it is especially to come have dinner for cheap in a simple and typical atmosphere that I recommend it.
Suk Jai Floating Market
KanchanaburiIf it is a nice night market at the edge of Kwai river, it is not really a floating market but still a pleasant place to come for dinner. It is held once a week in the center of Kanchanaburi city.
Kanchanaburi Night Market
KanchanaburiIn Kanchanaburi as elsewhere in Thailand, the night market is a nice place to go eat Street Food in the evening and why not do some shopping mainly for clothes. It is held every day of the week near the train station.
Walking Street
PhitsanulokThis large night market is held every Saturday evening around 5 pm in Sangkha Bucha Road, closed to traffic for the occasion to let the vendors' stalls and the many customers take place.
Saturday Walking Street
KhanomIt is not in Khanom but in the village just after it Bn Ton that hosts every Saturday evening a Walking Street, a large night market that settles in a street where cars are forbidden for the occasion. There is mostly food stalls and eating is the essential reason to go there.
