If you want to know where all the cool kids go, you don’t have to look much further than Dalat Rot Fai, sometimes spelled Tarad Rot Fai or Talad Rod Fai, Bangkok’s ‘Train Market’. What started out as a small, secondhand market along some train tracks has since moved and turned into a sprawling, permanent marketplace space, open seven nights a week. With acres of brick and mortar shops, streets stalls, restaurants, cafes, bars, pop up stands and street side shopping, it will take you a while to explore the busy market that’s especially popular with a younger crowd.

The market is open every evening, but it’s still busiest on the weekend running late into the night. Read less
