The Ratchada Train Night Market, also known as Talad Rot Fai Ratchada, has made a welcome return to its original home. It officially reopened on March 27, 2026, at the same vibrant spot behind the Esplanade shopping mall on Ratchadaphisek Road in Bangkok, right next to the Thailand Cultural Centre MRT station (Exit 3).
The market now operates daily from 5pm to 1am, bringing back the lively atmosphere of street food, shopping stalls, live music, and colorful tents that once defined this iconic night spot.
Years ago, this location was the beating heart of one of Bangkok’s most beloved night markets.
Launched around 2015 as the second branch of the popular Train Night Market concept, it quickly gained fame for its energetic vibe, vintage-inspired stalls, affordable street eats, fashion finds, and neon-lit walkways that drew both locals and tourists in droves.
Visitors loved wandering through the rows of tents for grilled seafood, trendy snacks, retro clothing, and even live performances, all within...
Port FC vs Bangkok United
Thai League 1 - Matchday 5 - 18 October 2026
BG Stadium
Port FC, one of Thailand’s oldest clubs, was founded in 1967 as the Port Authority of Thailand side. The Khlong Toei Lions enjoyed a golden era of multiple Kor Royal Cup and Queen’s Cup titles and have remained a consistent top-flight presence in the modern Thai League era, regularly challenging in the upper half of the table and appearing in Asian competitions.
Bangkok United began life in 1988 as Bangkok University FC before evolving into a professional outfit. The Bangkok Angels claimed the Thai League title in 2006, returned after a brief relegation, and have since established themselves as one of the league’s most consistent challengers, with multiple runner-up finishes and regular AFC involvement under True Corporation backing.
In the 2025–26 season the two sides met twice in the league. Port hosted Bangkok United on 9 November 2025 and the game finished 0–0. The return fixture on 15 March 2026 at Bangkok ...
The railways of Uzbekistan began in the late nineteenth century under the Russian Empire with the construction of the Trans-Caspian line that stretched across the deserts to reach Samarkand in 1888 and later connected with Tashkent.
After independence the national operator O‘zbekiston Temir Yo‘llari was created in 1994 and has steadily improved the network. Alongside the newer high-speed services, the reliable Sharq express continues to provide a classic and more affordable way to travel between the country’s main cities.
The rail distance from Tashkent to Bukhara is approximately five hundred and eighty to six hundred kilometers. On the regular Sharq train the journey takes around six hours, typically between five hours and fifty minutes and six and a half hours depending on the specific departure and intermediate stops.
Tickets can be purchased online through the official Uzrailway tickets mobile app for Android and iOS or on the website eticket.railway.uz. Select the stations, date, Sharq...
Chorsu Bazaar stands at the heart of Tashkent’s old city, a living marketplace whose name, drawn from Persian, evokes the crossroads and four streams that once guided Silk Road caravans through Central Asia.
For centuries this site has drawn merchants, artisans and travellers, its trading activity continuous since at least the medieval period and firmly established under the Timurids when Tashkent flourished as a vital stop between East and West. Domes were raised in the Shaybanid era to shield goods from sun and dust, and the bazaar remained the commercial and social core of the city’s four traditional quarters long after the Russian conquest divided Tashkent into old and new.
The devastating earthquake of 1966 levelled much of the earlier fabric, yet the market’s spirit endured. In 1980 architects Vladimir Azimov and Sabir Adylov completed the present complex, a late Soviet modernist landmark whose vast turquoise dome, nearly eighty metres across, rises above concentric trading floors and...
