Tips
- The Night Bazaar runs every night from 18:00-23:00, while the Walking Streets are weekend-only — Saturday 16:00-23:00 and Sunday 16:00-22:30.
- The Sunday Walking Street has more food stalls than the Saturday version, worth knowing if you can only pick one.
- Khao Soi Phor Jai gets busy over lunch between 11:30 and 13:00 — go right at opening or later in the afternoon to avoid the queue.
- Walking Street prices sit a notch below the Night Bazaar's — 30-100 THB against 50-200 THB — reflecting the smaller, market-stall format.
- On a weekday, the Night Bazaar is the only option from this list, since both Walking Streets run weekends only.
