The One Ratchada (formerly Ratchada Train Night Market) has been revived. After the management team changed hands, through more than a year of proven results, it has become the "landmine list" of Bangkok night markets. Under the direct impact of the current situation in 2024, the stalls have worked hard After running away, there are only a few vendors left in the whole area, and the popularity of gourmet restaurants is no longer what it used to be. I strongly recommend that all newbies save time and go to Qiaode Night Market or other markets. The details will be announced directly in this article!
How to get to The One Ratchada
You can take the Bangkok Subway MRT to Thailand Cultural Center Station. Take Exit 300 and walk about 4 meters or 9 minutes to get there. Or you can directly call a taxi with Grab Taxi or Bolt. They will drop you off at the parking lot. When you walk in, you will find The One Ratchada. If you want to go to the Jode Night Market to renew your stall, you can learn how to take a tuk-tuk by bidding on the price. To get there, you can take the subway to Phra Ram 9 station and then walk there.
There are many food shops at The One Ratchada
When there were reports of stall closures at the Ratchada Train Night Market, the reason was said to be that the landlord wanted to take back the land to build a building. Unexpectedly, a "turnaround" occurred when a new operator entered and re-invited business in the existing area. During the visit, the "Ratchada Night Market" "The resurrection and the reopening of tourism after the epidemic have indeed attracted some tourists. The stalls are still in place, and the restaurants and bars are almost there. Therefore, the few times we visited, we mostly focused on eating and drinking, such as hand-pickled seafood and Northeastern cuisine. Small clay pot and bar area.

Holy Shrimp Food Diary
This hand-grilled seafood restaurant uses fresh ingredients from Bangkok and has been operating since the Ratchada train night market. We ordered the "All Star" full meal and ribs, put on gloves and started eating. The sauce is spicy and delicious. Still unsatisfied, the store immediately served the ribs and continued to enjoy the delicious food! This store closed its operations in April 2023 and moved to two branches in Qiaode Night Market. The popularity of The One Ratchada has declined, and it has been with the original management team for many years. It is not difficult to understand that it will switch to another store.

Northeastern Small Clay Pot Food Notes
The restaurant here allows everyone to select a seat and order a comprehensive meal based on their taste preferences. This time I brought a colleague to visit. It was her first time visiting Bangkok and she wanted to try something new. She saw that this small pottery pot in Northeast China has a good business, but the ingredients in one pot are heavy. It’s for one person, so I add some extra charcoal-grilled prawns, pork neck, fried vegetables, etc. When I’m about half full, I can continue to eat other snacks. When I leave, I ask the macho boss to take a photo with me. The only thing is that after the New Year I didn't see this restaurant again when I visited again, so I don't know where it has been moved. (pity)
▲ My favorite thing to order at the night market is longan juice, it’s so delicious!
▲ I miss you so much! Northeast small clay pot!
2022 Tour The One Ratchada
There are many original shops on site, selling second-hand cameras, toys, household items, etc., which are indeed quite novel and fun to browse. The stalls sell ready-made clothing, small items, sock accessories, etc. You can buy cheap and fun hamburgers here. Straw toys, and I bought a handmade mask chain with a smiley face on strings of pearls and beads in rainbow colors. I have never seen the same items in other markets. In addition, there are also some nail salons with young customers. Lord, it's really not bad.

The only recommended 10+ low consumption bars
When we visited at the end of December, this area was not as popular as the Qiaode Night Market, but the few customers made us like it even more. At least we wanted to listen to music and drink a glass of wine, so we chose them separately without any special consideration. The two bars go inside for consumption, choose the location on the second floor where there is a cool breeze, and the view from below or the flashing neon lights in this area from a distance, the atmosphere is full and really suitable for children.
Consumption in bars is similar, most of them are based on several major Thai beers, and there are all kinds of bartenders. Friends want to drink more when they get together, and there are also large-scale combinations of beer towers and barrels. It’s just that we intend to drink lightly, and don’t take the route of drinking until you spit. , Just order a few bottles to have fun. The wine promotion sister will come to ask from time to time, and directly invite the little burger to come forward and say no. In short, we like it very much and recommend everyone to come here these few nights.

Revisiting The One Ratchada in 2024
When we brought newbies to visit the night market in Bangkok, Wendy asked everyone to come here to dine first. Unexpectedly, the number of restaurants dropped drastically, so we had to choose one place to eat. Unexpectedly, the food delivery speed was extremely slow, and the food was also unfamiliar. Seeing the manpower on site It was not enough. The guest in front of me shouted for a refund after finishing the meal. The foreigners at the other table also ate calmly, but considering that the meal was not ideal, they immediately went to check out and return the meal, and asked Wendy to gather quickly and take them to Qiaode Night Market instead. Sure enough, everyone’s satisfaction instantly increased, so we no longer recommend everyone to come to The One Ratchada.
▲ Later, when the food was served, everyone stopped laughing.
▲ If the management team is not rectified, the popularity will disappear forever.
