In the evening, when the temperature in Bangkok is a little more
agreeable, the gates open to the Talad Rot Fai Night Market – where
roughly 2000 stalls offer everything from antique cars to Japanese action
figures. In fact, there is very little here that can’t be found – that is, apart
from a tr ain. Because ironically, ‘Talad Rot Fai’ translates to ‘train market’.
This name deriv es from the fact that the location was once directly next
to train tr acks. When the railway company decided to expand, the market
simply mo ved to a new location, taking its name with it.
