The shocking news about the permanent closure of this massive Bangkok night market is a hoax, according to our phone call with the market.
Train Night Market Ratchada on Ratchadapisek Road has denied the rumor, which broke the Internet during the last weekend, that the popular night market will shut down for good due to the widespread outbreak of coronavirus that has caused the storm of lockdowns. We reached out to the market on a telephone call and has been confirmed that the venue would make a comeback as soon as the pandemic situation allowed both the shops and the visitors to go out safely.
The shocking rumor started to circulate through the online world back on July 31 when a Facebook page dubbed Ad Lump (in Thai: แอด ลัมป์) posted a picture of Train Night Market Ratchada with a caption indicating the closure of the venue: “It’s the end of Train Night Market Ratchada. The market is now officially closed because the owner couldn’t take all the responsibilities anymore.” See the post below.https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FlllLoveLumplll%2Fposts%2F820900798572771&show_text=true&width=500
