Sakon Nakhon Midnight Special

Cucumbers on sale at Big C. 
They usually go for 10 baht each there.

The bag of six cucumbers, bought at the midnight market, also sold for ten baht.

It's probably not called the midnight market.

Vendors begin to show up in the late evening when the night market (near MJ Majestic hotel) closes.

It's basically a wholesale produce market where many restaurants do their shopping.

Selling is done from the back of pickup trucks. 

I've done some shopping there at 2am in the morning.  
These prices are better than the night market.
