Sai Tai Center Night Market
Sai Tai Center Night Market offers good vibe and really local shopping atmosphere as many locals gather here every night and the number of tourists visiting the market is low due to the distance from downtown Bangkok. However, the distance shouldn’t put you off as this night market is really great.
This night market is suitable for all ages. We would especially recommend visiting this night market if you’re staying in the area around Khao San Road and looking for a less crowded place to chill out. Visiting this market is a must-do for anyone taking a night bus from the nearby bus station as you won’t find a better place to fill up your stomach before a long trip down south.
The night market is divided into different zones for easy navigation.
