Jodd Fairs

"When it comes to night markets in Bangkok, Jodd Fairs is by far the most convenient and complete night market you can find. Before COVID struck Bangkok, Ratchada Train Night Market was by far the most popular market, however, it depended hugely on tourists which were not there for almost two years. As a result, the organization of Ratchada had to close the market. But once the borders of Thailand were open for tourists again, the organization picked a new and more convenient area where it modernized the market and rebranded it as Jodd Fairs. Although the recognizable coloured tents are gone and replaced by simple white tents, the quality of the tents has improved and so do the vendors. The popular vendors from the previous Ratchada market still sell their goods and foods, but many new vendors have found a spot at the market too. In the middle section, visitors can walk around and find all sorts of goods, ranging from clothes, sunglasses and handcrafted jewellery. At the outer stands of the market, there is an abundance of food and drinks. There are more than six hundred food vendors to be found at this market, which offer street and finger food as well as a dine-in experience. While the previous Ratchada Train Market offered an area with loud bars, Jodd Fairs offer a more subtle bar area, which we believe makes the market far more accessible for people. But rest assured, there are plenty of bars with live music that keep you entertained until midnight. Jodd Fairs is located behind a shopping mall called Central Plaza Grand Rama 9 and you can easily access it by taking the metro (MRT) to MRT Station Phra Nam 9. The previously Ratchada Train Market was located just one metro station further. "

"Is located behind Central Rama 9 Department Store. It is a small fair that collects many products, e.g., clothing, decorations, handmade products, food and beverages, and street food from famous people from the Ratchada Train Night Market. Tourists will have fun choosing to shop for different products and enjoy the deliciousness of a variety of food. This market is divided into three zones comprising an activity zone which is the main area of the market. The atmosphere is decorated to match different festivals to add colour to the place. It is also an interesting check-in photo spot for visitors. Next is the fashion store zone with stalls selling clothing, bags, shoes, vintage items, etc. at reasonable prices. The final zone is a source of street food, both Thai and international. There are various types of snacks and main meals for tourists to choose to eat as they like. Open daily 11.00 - 24.00 hrs"

"This is one of the newest night markets in Bangkok that will leave you spoiled for choice. My favourite was the shop that sells vintage/second-hand t-shirts for $6. The food options were endless but we made a beeline to the mini pandan cakes and the banana nutella pratas. If you're adventurous and not horrified by seeing your food jump, give live shrimp a try. The traffic jam heading to this market is insane. Do arrive a little earlier than 6pm to avoid crowds."
