Out of all the beautiful places we visited in Thailand, this tourist spot topped on my list. It's a market in the middle of a huge canal, where vendors float in their small boats selling local products. You can expect to find vegetables, fruits, clothes, bags, shoes, spices.. almost anything you are looking for.
It opens early morning at around 8 am and shuts down at around 11 am. This was a bummer for me as I am not a morning person at all! We drove for 2 hrs from Bangkok and reached the market just on time. We immediately hired a boat and spent about 3 hours rowing, eating fruits, shopping and of course, capturing the moments.

I think the experience is cool beyond words. I would love to see the floating market in person. Visiting Thailand is on my bucket list and when it does finally happen, this will surely be on the list of things to do. Thanks for sharing!

Beautiful ! Did you know,in Kerala there is a area called "Kuttanadu" where the means of transportation is only boats and through backwaters.Yes,that's the place famous for house boats ! There people sell things using their small boats. Have no clue about whether there is a market as well 🙂
