Talad Rot Fai Srinakarin: the vintage-car night market, hours and access

Updated on October 9, 2026

Talad Rot Fai Srinakarin, which travellers call "Train Night Market Srinakarin", is a large open-air night market in eastern Bangkok, set near the Seacon Square shopping centre. It is known for its second-hand clothes and flea-market stalls, the vintage cars and motorbikes parked at the entrance, its open-air bars and its street food stands. Bigger and more local than the markets in the centre, it attracts mostly Thais. Allow two to three hours; entry is free. It is far from the centre and cannot be reached by train: plan on a taxi or a Grab. The market opens in the evening, but only on certain days; check the days before you set out.

Highlights

The spirit of the "train" markets

This photo shows the neighbouring Talad Rot Fai Ratchada market, now closed: its colourful canvas roofs made this style of market famous, and Rot Fai Srinakarin keeps its atmosphere, with alleys under tarpaulins and stalls lit up at dusk.

Flea market and second-hand fashion

Part of the market is devoted to vintage clothes, jeans, jackets, collectables, records and small antiques. This is the reason to come: you find things you cannot get in the shopping malls, at prices you can haggle over.

Vintage cars and motorbikes

At the entrance and in the alleys, old cars, Beetles and collector motorbikes serve as decor and as bars. They are among the market's attractions and the most shared photos.

Street food and bars

Grilled skewers, seafood, noodles, desserts and big cups of drinks: the market is like one huge dining room. The open-air bars, with live music, are very busy at weekends. Our guide to street food in Bangkok helps you choose.

Practical info

Tips

Bring cash in small notes: many stalls accept the Thai QR code (PromptPay), which works mostly with Thai bank apps. Haggle over flea-market goods, not over food. The market is outdoors: in the rainy season (May to October), a shower can empty the alleys; bring a light umbrella. It is far less touristy than the markets in the centre: few signs in English, but the stalls are welcoming. The opening days and hours have changed several times over the years: check the market's official page before you come. See also Jodd Fairs, closer to the centre, and Bangkok's markets, day by day.

How to get there

Srinakarin Road, near Seacon Square, Nong Bon, Prawet, Bangkok. No metro station right by the market: the simplest way is a taxi or a Grab from Udom Suk BTS station or from the centre, allow about twenty minutes without traffic (the Yellow Line runs along Srinakarin Road; check the nearest station to Seacon Square before you leave). To choose between modes of transport, see Grab or taxi in Bangkok and BTS or MRT in Bangkok. For the ride back late in the evening, book your Grab before the market closes so you do not wait in the crowd.
