The One Ratchada, Night market in Ratchadaphisek district, Bangkok, Thailand
The One Ratchada is a night market in Bangkok located behind Esplanade Mall, organized into three separate sections for food, retail goods, and open-air bars. The space contains hundreds of vendor stalls spread across a large outdoor area.
The market opened in 2022 on the grounds of the former Ratchada Train Night Market, which had closed during the health crisis in 2020. It was created to restore the evening shopping and dining experience that the area had previously offered.
The food stalls reflect everyday Bangkok dining habits, where visitors can watch cooks prepare dishes that locals eat regularly throughout the city. You see how the market serves as a gathering place where people from the neighborhood come together to share meals.
The entrance is easily accessible from MRT Thailand Cultural Centre station via exit 3, with daily operating hours from 4 PM to midnight. Arriving earlier is helpful if you prefer fewer crowds, as the market becomes quite busy as it approaches closing time.
The white tent structures housing vendors create a more modern look compared to the colorful canopies of the previous market. This design change gives the location a different visual character while maintaining the same lively evening trading tradition.
