I went to Chatuchak Weekend Market and all I can say that it was very tiring! lol. I liked their coconut ice cream there, though. But for clothes shopping, I would rather go to Platinum (Pratunam) Fashion Mall and for everything else I would rather go to this market. Or the other options would be go to to Chatuchak really late (few hours before closing) to avoid the heat, then spend the rest of the night here :)
Hours: Thurs - Sun 17:00 – 02:00
MRT: Chatuchak
BTS: Mo Chit
Address: 1 Kamphaeng Phet 3, Chatuchak, Bangkok

If you love vintage, you will enjoy this market. They have displays of cool old vintage cars, a lot of vintage clothes, accessories, stuff for sell, cozy cafes, and of course tons of food (street food, traditional Thai food, desserts, you name it!). The size of this market is pretty big too so you might want to allocate a few hours for this market.
We went on Thursday and we found that some of the stores were closed. It wasn't that crowded either. I would go again but on a weekend perhaps. They also have another location in Ratchada, which is on my list to go if I go to Bangkok again :)
Hours: 17:00 - midnight (Thurs-Sun)
Location: Srinakarin Road Soi 51 (behind Seacon Square)
BTS: On Nut (closest station but still requires taxi)
New Rot Fai Market
Hours: 17:00-24:00 (Thursday-Sunday)
Location: Ratcadaphisek Road (close to Esplanade Shopping Mall)
MRT: National Cultural Centre
If you're looking for good food at night, look no further! But please, don't go to the overrated T&K Seafood. Yes, we've tried it and yes, we queued for 30 mins+. We think the food is bland and we'd rather go somewhere else for seafood. We gave Yaowarat another chance and we came with our local Thai friend. She brought us to a smaller, less crowded soi to have seafood and it was much better than T&K Seafood! We also had Thai iced tea ice cream, coconut ice cream, durian, and lastly, delicious chewy toast bread with different sauce. YUM!
BTS: Hualamphong
We accidentally discovered this night market after a long day in Siam area. The market is somehow geared towards teenagers and young working locals. We really enjoyed browsing this market, especially there were a lot of street food, too!
BTS: Siam
This night market is a short ferry away from BTS Saphan Taksin. It's a half mall and half bazaar with a lot of cool cafes and restaurants. It's catered more towards tourists so the price is not pocket friendly haha! This is the place if you want to watch the Calypso Cabaret (famous Ladyboy show) and Muay Thai.
Hours: 17:00-midnight
Location: Chareonkrung Soi 74-76
BTS: Saphan Taksin
If you have more time:
- Khao San Road
- Cicada Market (Hua Hin)
