How to Get to Jodd Fairs Night Market by MRT: Complete Guide

Jodd Fairs' current location is on Ratchadaphisek Road, accessible from Thailand Cultural Centre MRT Station via Exit 4, roughly a 3-minute walk. Here's the full route, plus an important correction: the market's original Rama 9 site has actually closed.

Important: Jodd Fairs Rama 9 no longer exists

Step-by-step MRT directions

The Blue Line puts you a short walk from the current market

1. Take the MRT Blue Line to Thailand Cultural Centre Station.
2. Exit via Exit 4.
3. Walk toward the large Big C sign, roughly 100 to 230 metres, about a 3-minute walk.
4. Jodd Fairs Ratchada will be directly visible from there, next to Big C, opposite Horwang School.

Address: 15 Rama IX Road, Huai Khwang, Bangkok 10310 (also referenced in some sources as 129 Ratchadaphisek Road, Din Daeng, reflecting the site's position between the two districts).

Confirming you're headed the right way

Every current source agrees this is the clearest landmark

Look for the Big C sign specifically, it's large and visible from the MRT exit, and every current source agrees this is the clearest landmark to walk toward. If you find yourself near Central Rama 9 or heading toward Phra Ram 9 Station instead, you've likely followed outdated directions to the old, now-closed location.

Opening hours

Open daily, roughly 5:00pm to 1:00am (some sources list slightly earlier opening at 4pm), consistent with what we've covered in our full Jodd Fairs food guide.

Alternative: taxi or Grab

The MRT is the more time-reliable option during peak evening traffic

If you'd rather not deal with the MRT, tell your driver "Jodd Fairs Ratchada" (จ๊อดแฟร์ รัชดา in Thai), and they'll drop you near the main entrance. Given Bangkok traffic, especially in the evening when the market is busiest, the MRT is genuinely the more reliable option time-wise.

Don't confuse it with The One Ratchada

A separate, distinct night market a 10-minute walk away

A separate night market, The One Ratchada, sits at the original site of the Ratchada night market, behind Esplanade Shopping Mall, roughly a 10-minute walk from Jodd Fairs. The two are genuinely walkable between each other if you want to visit both in one evening, but they're distinct markets, worth knowing so you don't end up at the wrong one if a friend recommends "the Ratchada night market" without specifying which.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Following older directions to MRT Phra Ram 9 Station expecting to find Jodd Fairs there. That location closed and was demolished, always head to Thailand Cultural Centre Station, Exit 4, for the current market
• Not checking which exit you're using. Exit 4 is the consistently correct one across current sources, some older or less reliable content cites Exit 2 or Exit 3, which won't put you on the most direct walking route
• Confusing Jodd Fairs Ratchada with The One Ratchada. They're separate markets a 10-minute walk apart, worth knowing which one you're actually heading to if someone gives you a recommendation without the full name
• Taking a taxi during peak evening traffic instead of the MRT. Given how busy Ratchada gets in the evening, the MRT is genuinely the more time-reliable option, save the taxi for off-peak visits or if you're travelling in a larger group
• Relying on search results without checking the date or context. Given how much outdated Rama 9 content is still circulating, even on pages labeled "2026," cross-check the Exit 4 / Thailand Cultural Centre Station detail specifically before you head out
