Damnoen Saduak floating market
Damnoen Saduak is the most popular floating market in Thailand, great for photo opportunities, food, and for giving you an insight into a bygone way of life.

An early morning start is worth it to avoid the heat and catch Damnoen Saduak at its liveliest.Most visitors who come to Thailand want to visit a floating market and many of them will end up here.
Don’t let that put you off though, as it’s an enjoyable morning out of the city and if you avoid the tourist shops you can get a real sense of the place.

The market is over an hour's transfer out of Bangkok, and the easiest way to get there is to join a tour. (Quoted from BANGKOK.COM)

Maeklong Railway Market
Maeklong Railway Market is a traditional Thai market selling fresh vegetables, food and fruit.

What makes the market special is that it occupies part of a train line. A few times a day, there’s a train running directly through the market.

A few minutes before the train comes, vendors lower their umbrellas and move some of their produce away from the train tracks.(Quoted from BANGKOK.COM)


Amphawa floating market
Amphawa is the second most popular floating market near Bangkok.

It’s not as large as Damnoen Saduak but it’s more authentic, with visitors almost exclusively Thai.

Located 50 km from Bangkok, this once small village has apparently been around since the mid-17th century.

It becomes such a magnet for Thai weekenders that food stalls have grown from the riverbanks and stretched far into the surrounding streets.(Quoted from BANGKOK.COM)
