Srinakarin Train Night Market: What to Eat and When to Go

The Srinakarin Train Night Market is a big evening market in east Bangkok, set behind Seacon Square on Srinagarindra Road. Food and drink fill much of the walkway, with named dishes including spicy pork 'mountain' (leng saap), ribs, Thai sushi and doner kebab. This guide starts with food and timing, then covers the route, layout and tips.

Entry is free, and the market is open Thursday to Sunday evenings, according to Thai Holiday Guide (updated June 2026). It sits far from the city centre, so plan your transport, especially the ride home.

Days, Hours and the Best Time to Go

The market runs Thursday to Sunday and is closed Monday to Wednesday. According to visitthailandtoday.com (updated October 2026), hours are 17:00 to 01:00. Thai Holiday Guide (updated June 2026) gives roughly 17:00 to midnight, so closing time is either midnight or 01:00. Check on the day if a late finish matters to you.

Many stalls do not open early, and the market is liveliest after 19:00. Going on a Friday or Saturday evening after 19:00 gives you the most stalls open.

For the season, visitthailandtoday.com recommends November to February, with December and January the busiest months. April and May are the hottest, so evening heat can feel heavy while you queue for food.

No closure has been reported, and a Thai travel site headline describes the market as open as normal. Stalls are independent, so check the market's Facebook page before making a special trip.

Getting to the Market by MRT or Grab

The nearest rapid transit is the MRT Yellow Line to Suan Luang Rama IX station, which sits in front of Seacon Square. From there, walk about 10 minutes around the mall to Srinakarin Soi 51, according to visitthailandtoday.com (updated October 2026).

A taxi or Grab from Asok costs about THB 160-200 by the same source. At weekends the trip can take up to 45 minutes in traffic.

The Yellow Line stops running before the market closes, so plan a Grab for the ride home if you stay late.

The address is Srinagarindra Soi 51, Nong Bon, Prawet, Bangkok 10250.

Layout, History and What Else Is Sold

Founder Pairod Roikaew moved Talad Rot Fai here after the original market on State Railway of Thailand land closed in 2013. That closure came because of the Bang Sue Central Station project, according to Wikipedia.

Wikipedia describes this site as the main location and says it was ranked the most popular night market in Bangkok. It sells antiques and vintage-style goods, especially clothing and home accessories, plus a large range of food and drink.

Photos of the entrance show a gate and a walkway lined with stalls, with a ship-shaped building and a market sign on Srinagarindra Road. Those photos date from 2015, so some stalls may have changed since then.

Tips for a Smooth Night at the Market

The old Talad Rot Fai Ratchada is a separate market and should not be confused with this one. One source says the Ratchada market reopened on 27 March 2026 behind Esplanade Ratchadaphisek, so check the address before you book a car.

Arriving before 19:00 means you can eat before the market reaches its liveliest point.

Carry cash and a charged phone for Grab, since the Yellow Line stops before the market closes. No parking fee figure was found, so ask at the entrance if you drive.
