Some branches of S&P and MK stay open 24 hours in Central Festival during holidays. Denny's-style diners near Walking Street cater to the after-bar crowd with full menus until dawn.

Thailand's best late-night food is noodle soup. Look for steaming carts along Soi Buakhao, Second Road, and near Walking Street from 22:00–04:00. Boat noodles, kuay tiew (rice noodle soup), and bamee (egg noodles) from 40–60 THB. These stalls are where locals eat after a night out — follow the crowds.
