The world-renowned Chatuchak Market opens every weekend, but many don’t know you can come there for nighttime shopping on Fridays. Vendors set up their stalls starting around 9 pm and if you get there early, you can get some amazing bargains.

Jodd Fair. There are a couple around Bangkok. The one I went to was near BTS station 'Pahonyothin 24' I think.

The original market is at Rama 9.

Definitely worth a Google.

 

It's more of a food fair with clothes shops and small bars.

thank you for this info. cause i have a trip to thailand next month 

It doesn't have much info, and some outdated.   Use Gmaps and just search night markets, to get real info, open/close times, directions, photos & reviews.   That article doesn't even links to where located.

 

Another of interest may be floating markets, although the best is probably in ICONSIAM
