How to get to Rod Fai Night Bangkok (Rot Fai Night Market)?

• Opening hours: 5 pm to midnight, Thursday to Sunday
• Location: Srinakarin Soi 51 (behind Seacon Square)
• BTS Station: On Nut (nearest station but still requires taxi to reach the market)

Rod Fai Market is located at Srinakarin Soi 51, just behind Seacon Square Shopping Center. The best way to get here is by taxi, all taxi drivers must know about Seacon Square. However, the traffic can get extremely bad on Friday and Saturday nights, so you should consider choosing the BTS Skytrain to On Nut station, then take the next taxi to get the market.

The original place of the original Rod Fai market is next to the railroad tracks which is behind Chatuchak Market in the north of the city. Although there are no trains now, there are plenty of spaces for merchants to showcase their strange but equally beautiful collections in different areas. The three districts here are named as follows: “Market Zone”, “Warehouse Zone” and “Rod’s Antiques”.
