Music at Train Market Srinakarin:
The video above was at the Talad Rot Fai Market at the 3 bar. The band was called ” Sor ra up”. I think the singer was from the south of Thailand. Lots of fun and nice guys!
These videos above were a cover band at a bar called the river at talad rot fai market. They knew more english than thai songs. Cool place to hang out with old school theater seats. Definitely good music and fun
The videos above are from a great, little chilled bar/restaurant at the train market. The band was called “Plastic Meow”. You should definitely drop by this cafe and chill. Talad rot Fai is an awesome market and this band/restaurant was awesome!

This is a unique find. It reminded me a lot of these small town events we have where I live where people gather old stuff and sell it in a giant yard sale type deal. I found some really cool finds here. A lot of classic, old, traditional stuff but also newer items as well. Have to check it out if you are in the area!
