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.

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

Plan on going for dinner, then walking around shopping for a bit, then grabbing a drink and a sit outside to do some people watching to fully experience this one-of-a-kind place.
