Number 4: Train Night Market
Talad Rot Fai or the Train Night Market is Bangkok’s very unique vintage market and hangout. The unique layout of the complex is actually because it was an old train yard.
The entire grounds, if emptied of all their tents, would still look just like a train yard with an outdoor train-car yard! It also has an indoor sheltered area which would have been where passengers platforms were located.
