  • Bangkok night markets are famous, and this is the best on in the city, by far. Thai food, street food, shopping, vintage clothes....they even have a train and helicopter.
    Open only at night and only from Thursday to Sunday, this is the original Rod Fai market aka the Train Night Market. It's #2 on my top 25 things to do in Bangkok list because it's one of my favorite things in the Big Mango to enjoy. Most tourists go to Chatuchak but trust me....you should go here instead. Eat, drink, and be merry!

    I have seen a tonne of instagrams and youtubes of other people travelling around Thailand and showcasing it. Although good, Chris is the best. You can see his love for Thailand and the people show through. He has that way of storytelling(voice, scenes, edits-don't know) that just draws you in. I am not sure many other people could do this the way he does it. Things I have learned...eat meat and drink leo. Thanks for an awesome series!!

      Yeah I agree this is really well known and you'll see plenty of Westeners there. It's certainly not a hidden and locals only market. I wouldn't even say it's the best, although that's subjective obviously. I'm not going to name then I like them unknown ;-)

    I went to this market 10yrs ago. Back then there were the strips of cool antique /vintage shops, and a big dirt lot with tons of food vendors, bars, live music. Looks like they cleaned it up and expanded it a bit.

      There are only a handful antique sellers now, its mainly the collection of the owner, for vintage and antiques you go to Bangsue Junction Mall / DD Mall opposite JJ market, housing also the former JJ Green market sellers.

  • @thesaint2700
    @thesaint2700 Год назад +19

    The original Talat Rot Fai was located near Chatuchak market, on land owned by the State Railway of Thailand. Hence the name. The market was closed some 8-10 years ago, then moved to its current location in Srinakarin when land needed to be cleared for the Bang Sue Grand Station.
    Well worth a visit! Bangkok vibe in a nutshell

    • @siamrarebooks7216
      @siamrarebooks7216 Год назад +2

    Good point about the train market near Rama 9 at 5:40, ever since they renovated it, it lost its character as well, with the white tents it's clearly targeting a certain foreign audience.

      Nothing happens in Thailand without food. The Thais go to the markets not only to browse and shop but to socialize, eat and drink with family and friends. Basically to enjoy a good time in the company of others which is a big part of Thai culture. All the markets and food stalls keep unemployment at a minimum as they create opportunities for all kinds of people (usually women) to open their own little businesses.

    Actually, this market is the second train market. The first train market is near Chatuchak market. You probably know a public park called Suan rod fai because all the land in that area is owned by the State Railway of Thailand. The first railway market was called Talad Suan Rod Fai or Suan Rot Fai Market. And the landowners who used to organize the market have reclaimed the land to use for the railway business. The market manager at that time was looking for land to turn into a train market. And at Srinakarin, it's a new place, so the former name is Train Market Srinakarin, but Thai people call this market at first the Train Market 2.😁😁🙏🙏
