Jodd Fairs Ratchada

This guide to Jodd Fairs Ratchada in Bangkok opens with a goodbye post from a bar owner at the old Talad Rot Fai night market, shut down when Covid's third wave hit the city and the landlords ran out of patience. It follows the same vendors and stallholders as they regrouped six months later under a new name on Ratchadaphisek Road, rebuilding a market from folding tables, grilled pork smoke and hand-painted sneakers. Listen for how the street food regulars found their old haunts rearranged but smelling exactly as they remembered.
