Huai Kwang night market

Huai Kwang night market is a food and shopping destination in Bangkok that opens around 7 PM and stays open into the early morning hours. The market stretches along Pracharat Bamphen Road with stalls selling fresh fruits, vegetables, fish, and meat, alongside numerous food vendors and small eateries serving local dishes.

The market is linked to the growth of Huai Kwang district, which was originally part of Phaya Thai before being separated in 1978. By 1993, the area became an independent district called Din Daeng, and the market developed into a major gathering spot for locals and visitors.

The market reflects how people in Bangkok spend their evenings, gathering to eat, shop, and socialize with neighbors and friends. You can see the rhythm of local life through the way visitors move between stalls, chat with vendors, and enjoy meals together.

The easiest access is via the MRT Huai Kwang station, exit 4, from which you walk to reach Pracharat Bamphen Road and the market area. The market is accessible on foot, and visiting in the late evening or night gives you the full experience with the most activity and food options available.

At the corner of Ratchada Road and Pracharat Bamphen Road stands a shrine to Ganesh, the elephant-headed god, where people pray and make offerings before entering the market area. This small spiritual spot shows how tradition blends into the daily rhythm of this busy location.
