As you may know, Chatuchak Weekend Market, which is renowned as being one of the largest and most comprehensive weekend markets in the world, opens only on weekends. However, not many people know that it partially opens on Friday night when one of the best night markets in Bangkok - Chatuchak Friday Night Market takes place in the area.

Chatuchak Friday Night Market

Chatuchak Friday Night Market is different from Chatuchak Weekend Market as at night wholesale clothing and fashion products are mainly sold. You can expect to pay a lower price if buying in large quantities as many vendors here offer wholesale deals.

In the past, Chatuchak Friday Night Market was taking place only near the Gate 3 between 16 and 21 sections. However, once the night market has become more famous between locals and started to attract more sellers, Chatuchak Friday Night Market has expanded and currently occupies a large area of Chatuchak Market - from section 8 to 26.
