Days, hours and where it is

The market is on Thepprasit Road in South Pattaya, inland toward the Sukhumvit / Jomtien side, behind Outlet Mall. It is not the smaller evening market on Jomtien Beach Road. Tell the driver “Thepprasit Night Market” and check the pin before you leave.

Usual hours are about 17:00–22:30, sometimes toward 23:00. Busiest around 18:00–20:00.
Friday, Saturday and Sunday are the nights listings agree the full set of stalls is there.
Some 2026 guides say it now opens every evening. Weeknights can be thinner. Check before a Monday–Thursday visit.

Stay nearby

South Pattaya and Jomtien are the short ride. Central Pattaya is still an easy Grab or baht bus after you eat.

Getting there

Fixed-route baht buses toward Jomtien are about 10–20 THB per person. Naming the market as a private drop-off turns it into a charter — agree the price first, or use Grab or Bolt.
The market sits off the Beach Road and Second Road loops, so a ride is simpler than walking from Walking Street.
Cash. Many stalls do not take cards. Small notes, not a 1,000 THB bill.

Scams and easy mistakes

Seafood before a price. Point at a prawn or a fish, ask the price, then let them cook. “Market price” after the grill is how the bill jumps.
The wrong market. Jomtien’s beachfront night market is a different, smaller stop. Thepprasit is the large inland one on Thepprasit Road.
Charter songthaew. A fixed-route seat is 10–20 THB. A driver who quotes a few hundred baht for “the market” is chartering the truck.

Is Thepprasit Night Market still open in 2026?

Yes. It is on Thepprasit Road in South Pattaya, behind Outlet Mall, toward Sukhumvit and Jomtien. Entry is free.

How do I get to Thepprasit Night Market from Walking Street?
