Explore night markets
After dark, the city comes out to eat.
Bangkok’s markets are where the city shops, snacks and catches up, from sprawling weekend markets like Chatuchak to neighborhood night markets that pop up after work.
Bring curiosity, small bills and an appetite. The Bangkok Circle will tell you which ones locals actually go to.
Street food
Grilled skewers, noodles, mango sticky rice. Point, smile and try something new.
Weekend markets
Huge, maze-like markets for clothes, crafts, plants and snacks.
Neighborhood markets
Smaller evening markets where residents grab dinner on the way home.
Market manners
Bargain kindly where it’s expected, keep it light, and a smile goes further than a hard sell.

Bangkok’s Founding Ambassadors are being selected now.
Ambassadors are locals, people living in Thailand and community builders who welcome newcomers and share what they know. Once they’re approved, you’ll be able to meet them right here and in the Bangkok Circle.
Ambassador is a community role. It doesn’t mean someone is a licensed guide or identity-verified.
Belong Somewhere, Not Just Go Somewhere.
VoyaKin is free for everyone. Be among the first in Bangkok when we open the doors.
