    Is Jodd Fairs still open?

    Yes, at Ratchada, checked 29 October 2026. Many guides still describe the Rama 9 site: it closed, and was demolished in January 2025 (Seth Lui).

    The DanNeramit site is no longer Jodd Fairs: it reopened in 2025 as Liab Duan DanNeramit, a different night market (Nation Thailand, The Smart Local, Time Out).

    Getting back after the last train

    The market closes at 01:00, but the last MRT train from Thailand Cultural Centre leaves at 23:48 toward Tha Phra and 23:52 toward Lak Song (BEM). Stay later and you go home by Grab or Bolt; agree the fare in the app before you get in.
