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.

The pics look better than the place actually is, hehe. I remember this one time, like 10 years ago, we were there, and my chachi was "window shopping" asking prices wherever our boat passed by ... after a while my chacha got annoyed and told the next shopkeeper "don't tell her the price, she's not going to buy anyway" .... it was hilarious 😀

Lovely photos- your trip looks amazing! All that fresh fruit, wow. But yes, I don't think I would be able to get out the door quick enough to catch any as I'm no good at mornings either 🙂

The floating market never really changed except more people and more product offerings! 🙂 But it was more than 20 yrs I visited so something may have changed - just that my memory has failed me. :O
Thanks for sharing your photo moments.
