We took the 79 bus for 15 bahts each. Took a bit of finding – use Rome2Rio app, this gives instructions or go to the tourist office but it’s a good experience. The market is full of food and drink and tourist Nick nacks. A 99baht boat trip along the canal is fun too. Lots of locals frequenting the market, not just for tourists.
I have a dire feeling it is all just another tourist trap, as usual in Thailand. Proper disclosure: I went there loooong time ago (1996) but just recently viewd my photos, and with the age shrpenned experisenced view, I can tell you now it is all just a scam. I have a feeling all thoses boats feeled with produce are not going anywhere, they get paid by the tourists’ agents to be part of the show. Then the boats line up in the dock to sell the tourists, it is all the same old worn out souverinrs at high prices. I am so tired of that country, everything there was so fake, brutal, vilant, certainly against tourists, but not only, in between themselves as well.
Nice market but NOT FLOATING ANYMOREAfter COVID there hasn’t been floating markets like before anymore. Only a few boats on the water that make some food but most all have moved to on land markets. It’s cute and has a nice atmosphere but it’s not worth it to drive all the way here to see it. If you look back on photos from back before COVID you can see boats here and there and still, as of end of 2023, they have not yet come back.
Klopt dit zo een beetje? Is het duidelijk?Unfortunately, this was a very disappointing experience. We expected a tour through a floating market, but in reality we were rushed through a slum at full speed without the skipper saying anything. (he could barely speak English either)At one point we were allowed to leave the boat for 10 minutes and walk around stalls where they only sold souvenirs for tourists and then we sped on. We stalled next to a mega Buddha statue where he turned around again and then dropped us off the boat along a major road with a viaduct. So we anxiously wondered what was going to happen next and looked around to see where we had ended up and when the floating market would arrive, the little man would be gone again. When we started to realize that we had been duped, he was nowhere to be seen. This was it. Paid 500 baht for such a ticket, but didn’t see a single floating market stall. Big fat scam!! Do not go there!
Not floating markets at all. It’s a market and there are boats you can pay for which give you a tour of the area. The locals have us some bread to feed the catfish which was cool but overall a wasted journey
It doesn’t really appear to be a floating market any more, but it’s still a great place to visit. Lots of street food and drinks, with plenty of seating, and mainly plants and garden supplies for sale. Clean toilets. You can take a boat trip to a nearby temple and back, or a one-way trip (200B) through the canals, ending up at Wat Arun. Great views of people’s houses and the sunbathing water monitors.
Interesting place, must visit if you are in Bangkok, but make sure you have cash in hands because credit cards are not widely accepted.The best tomyam soup and grilled shrimps I have ever tried in my life.
Not worth to go there. The market is small and not much interesting stalls to see. We took a hr boat ride where a tour guide accompany the ride. Not an interesting ride. There are other more interesting floating market in Bangkok.
We took a driver (no guide) to visit the floating markets and the railway markets.This ended up being a good if little disappointing day out. It’s definitely further than you think and the hour and a bit promised was nearer 2hrs to get there.The boats are priced per person not per boat and for a family of 5 therefore expensive. They choose which market stalls to two you to and the price of the (very standard) fare is significantly more expensive than any other market but the chosen enjoyed the experience. This is a way of life that has obviously died out (you pass a Costco on the way) and is therefore kept alive just for tourists. The water quality is poor and other than a glimpse of a kingfisher absolutely no wildlife at all. The waterways are mostly quiet but on the main ‘street’ it was very busy and the air quality from all the engines very poor indeed. Probably not worth it with some dubious animal (exploration) add ons that we declined.The railway market was worth a visit on the way home and everyone was waving to the passengers as the train came and stalls were rolled up. Not worth a visit on its own but broke up the journey home. Probably should have passed on this but the kids had an ok day out.
