The 11 best floating markets in Bangkok

If you're visiting a local floating market in Bangkok, this is the one. I got recommended this one through a TikTok comment, as the floating market on that particular video was very scammy and much farther away than this one. Easy to reach by car and Grab and definitely a nice place. Lots and lots of food options and also cute markets. Got to taste a lot of local food and dishes, which was great! The boat ride was 600 baht (we didn't negotiate because the price felt fair already) and had a very nice long boat ride, with some very fast sections. Got to see the Indian monitor lizard in the water which was also very cool! There is a also a small place where you can see turtles and feed birds and rabbits! The birds fly on your hand if you put some food on your hand :) So definitely a cool place with kind people!

AVOID. Unless you have an extra 1,500 to 2,000 extra Thai Baht per person, that you have no use for. ALL the actual vendors are long gone, the only 'vendors' left are not even on the water. All you will see are souvenir shops selling the same merchandise you can find all over Thailand, however at the "Floating Market" they will cost you double or triple what you'll pay at Chatuchunk weekend market in Bangkok. It was a huge disappointment and an enormous letdown. I feel as though I was conned. Do yourself a favor: do something else. After seeing my photos, you'll have seen all that there's to see.

Had a bunch of great food here. We did get a boat ride over from a different market and got left here but we made the best of it which wasn't hard with all the excellent food that was every where. I would advise to try a lot of different things. The food and fresh drinks were so good. I definitely over ate but it was worth it.

If you are looking to visit a unique market that still is quite local, not too touristic and still has Thai authencity, this is your market to visit! The market majorily focuses on food, but there are also some souvenir or gift shops. There are many different food options, really delicious and very affordable food. Highly recommended!

Amazing authentic experience, where locals actually shop and you can go on a fun boat tour to a secret market. Sadly I didn't remember the location because the whole place is a labyrinth where sellers actually live, very fascinating stuff. 🔥More on insta/tiktok @slatki.eats

We took a Grab to this floating market on a Saturday. Overall, it was a nice experience, and we had many boat noodles 🍜 . The best thing is that this market is very close to a seafood market. We spent half a day in this zone and truly enjoyed our time here.

One of the best Floating Market from Bangkok,very authentic with less tourist than the others. The experience was great and the boat trip amazing. Inside the market have many different kind of food,if you can try to eat some thai food that some ladies prepare on the boat.

If you're looking for a quaint, off-the-beaten-path experience, this floating market is a hidden gem. Unlike the more popular markets, it's not very crowded and you won't find too many tourists here. The street food is a highlight – delicious, cheap, and plentiful. The community feel is warm and welcoming, making it a perfect spot to relax and soak in the local culture. Highly recommended for those seeking an authentic and peaceful market experience.

The Floating Market was really nice! There were many dessert options, and I went with a friend — we tried the salt-crusted fish, tilapia. I think it’s the best place in Bangkok to eat that! The price was very cheap, and the fish was huge. It was amazing to feel the whole market vibe with the boats passing by. 8.5/10 🌊🐟 I’m Brazilian and have a travel agency in Peru — Machu Picchu, Cusco 🇵🇪 @dopkertravel. If you visit Peru, I can help you! ✈️

A very nice market with so many different foods and drinks to try. All the people are super friendly. Try as much as you can because it's all great. I would say caution with the floating market tour at the back. When I went the tour took us to another market and dropped us off, we didn't get to shop from the boat. Also when they dropped us off they only gave us 5 minutes to explore the new market. Needless to say. They left us and we had to get a taxi back.

A very interesting local market, an "absolute must-visit" destination for a food experience you "must try". You can get there from central Bangkok using many types of transport; if you have a large group and are not restricted by time, taking one of the many very cheap bus routes is a great option.

Small market open sat and sun There is tour Small boat 1000bath for up to 4 passengers . Go to another bigger Floating market. Time spend of tour is 1.20hours. Only 20 mins stop at th another floating market isnt enough time to visit.

i recommend getting there at opening for a quieter experience. there were unfortunately no stalls in boats on the canal but there are plenty of stores on land to choose from and it’s evident that locals frequent this market.

The market here is small, but it is better than the one further away because you can tak a boat from there and be transported to another location. We decided to stay and roam around the area before taking a taxi back to our hotel. You don't have to pay any ticket except the boat trip The parking can be challenging better take a taxi. It is worth to take the boat trip to another place.

Bang Nam Phueng Floating Market in Bangkok is an absolute gem! The market is filled with incredibly friendly vendors who greet visitors with warm smiles and genuine hospitality. The street food here is simply amazing—delicious, freshly prepared, and perfect for snacking as you explore. There are also plenty of fun activities to enjoy, making it a great destination for families and friends alike. The boat ride to the island is quick and scenic, taking less than 10 minutes, adding an exciting touch to the visit. Plus, you'll find a wide variety of lovely souvenirs to take home. Overall, Bang Nam Phueng Floating Market offers a delightful blend of tasty food, welcoming people, and fun adventures—definitely a must-visit in Bangkok!

I’ve been meaning to visit this market for the last three decades and I’ve finally made it. It’s a very cute, laid back, and local place with hardly any tourists around. Take a songthaew from Bang Na station, then ferry, then rent a bicycle to get there. It’s not a floating market but it’s like visiting a cleaner version of 1980s Bangkok.

Excellent market located in the Green Lung. Loads of shopping, food , plants, available. 100s of stalls selling all manner of goods. Restaurants available. Bang Nam Phueng Floating Market (Thai: ตลาดน้ำบางน้ำผึ้ง, pronounced [tā.làːt ná(ː)m bāːŋ ná(ː)m pʰɯ̂ŋ]) is in Bang Nam Phueng Subdistrict, Phra Pradaeng District, Samut Prakan Province adjacent to Wat Bang Nam Phueng Nai temple and considered as part of Bang Kachao, a good atmosphere area on bend of the Chao Phraya River. The market was inaugurated in 2004 by the local subdistrict authority to help locals move an oversupply of agricultural products. Its vendors limited to people from the community. The market is on a canal surrounded by a residential neighborhood. Products include commercial crops such as fruits and sweets, noodles, processed food, sea shells, dried shrimp, pickled shrimp, desserts, grain cakes, and fruit .[4][5][6] Plenty of parking for cars,motorbikes, and bicycles. Handicap doable and recommended ♿️ ....be aware of tight spaces and some uneven ground surfaces. Restrooms....hmmmmm, probably somewhere. Final take.....highly recommended

Good to visit and recommend to visit here! You can rent a bicycle or a bike at the pier and drive around the areas. The market was local from local people staying here and the food was good prices

Really enjoyed our day at the floating market. No experiences on boats of markets on boats which did disappoint us a bit. But it's lush green, was busy but not crowded. Got to try nice foods, had fantastic stretch massage there, lovely atmosphere.

A typical Thai floating market worth visiting to try local food. You must try meatballs and boat noodle soup while you’re here. The easiest way to get there is by Grab, but if you have more time, there’s a more fun and enjoyable way! :) Take the BTS to Bang Na station, then go to Wat Bang Na Nok Pier and cross the river. On the other side, you can rent a bike or walk to the market, heading towards the Bangkok Tree House hotel. It’s beautiful and picturesque—a completely different side of Bangkok! :)Enjoy🙏🙏🙏

I love Bang Nam Phueng Market because here is best Isan sausages ever, also in this place they sell only Thai dessert I love, BLACKPINK's Lalisa favourite from her childhood. Every time I am here, I'll buy Isan sausages, fried Thai green flower dessert, some other food and drinks, then sit down in sitting place and eat. Also it has a small but beautiful temple which you should visit.

"Wat Sai Floating Market offers a glimpse into traditional Thai culture with its lively stalls, delicious local food, and charming riverside vibes. A unique experience to savor authentic flavors and crafts! 🛶🍜✨" Waitttt............. No market no nothing just empty deserted place with some boat asking exhobritatnt price for a boat ride. Market maybe open during night but definitely not a floating one. Please don't visit during day time.

If you look for maket on the boat. Don’t. There’s none. Just on the street only. Was here at 8am.

A beautiful market, there is a lot to see here from fish to all kinds of fruits to ready-made dishes. You can also easily buy art, toys and clothes here. Unfortunately, we were unlucky, we arrived at 10.30am and there was not a single boat. Unfortunately, I can't say whether they come later or have disappeared completely due to a lack of tourism. We then took a short boat tour, which was also very worthwhile.

I would not really recommend this market unless you are really into seeing a floating market that is no longer vendors on boats. The price of the food is actually slightly higher than in other parts of Bangkok and the quality of the food is lower. It is pretty much a tourist trap nowadays, but the surrounding area is pretty nice.

Good place but you need to bargain the price in every items. You have to take a boat to visit floating market. Before going please check the time of opening of market... some site are very nice... they will take you to some temple also.. and park also there is small zoo.. You need to bargain rates for boat price also.

Tourist Trap, come here if you want to get scammed. The floating market has been closed down for 40 years already. The photos in the review is from Dumneonsaduak floating market in Samut Songkarm province.

experience the river's beauty with the locals boat service while enjoying and exploring the tributaries

One of the well known floating markets while approaching Bangkok from Marine & Safari World. The Market closes by 5 pm. We were late to reach when we saw empty markets with nice crossover bridges, clear water with fishes, artificial trees, selfie points and nearby Buddha temple. A small shop sells fresh bakery items especially various types of traditional breads of the area.

👍 very good and relaxing place to visit during the weekends. Quite a nice place with good local food, desserts, and Thai drinks. 🥤 You won’t be disappointed. Must feed the fish 🐟. Buy a few bread packets - it’s not expensive. Also suggest to take the boat ride to enjoy a peaceful canal ride. 😊 I visit once every month to feed the fish some bread. 🍞

Once (pre-Covid) a very busy “floating market” on weekends, it has become a bit of a disappointment with many shops closed. The market is along both sides of the canal and can be entered from the 2 temples on both sides.

Loved this placed! Got to see dome very cool things, meet great people, get some shopping and don't get me started on the food! It was so good!!!!

Very pleasant market to visit on the weekend, even though not much “floating”. It has quite a local flavor and as we live nearby I always come here with friends that visit us.

Was very quiet going at 12 noon. No boats on the river.. but food stalls at the side. Food was good. The place is amazingly clean. Spotless. No flies at the eateries..

A very small market, It's okay to spend time with family sometimes.

We went on a Friday morning and it was not crowded, which was perfect for us. Loved that this market seemed more local than others. Everything is written in thai and the vendors weren't all able to tell me in English what the food was, which was fine for me. The market smelled good of fresh jackfruit, sweet desserts and savoury dishes. There was a nice mix of stalls selling fruits vegetables, baked/cooked dishes and things.

There are a lot of Thai local food at this market. The prices are reasonable. The parking maybe a bit challenging but was not that bad. The weather was hot and the market could be crowded sometimes. Try the duck, it was good. I spent like 2 hours walking shoping around.

Easy to get to and worth seeing. Beautifully constructed Temple with open spaces in front used as car parks, under the trees shade and it’s free. Walking into the temple with nice views around is enjoyable. Going further in is a shaded large area that extends alongside the river bank, which is the local market (Fruits and vegetables,etc). There’s also a couple of restaurants (overlooking the river) offering mainly local dishes at reasonable price. Food was good and the atmosphere was good too. For an extra THB20, you can buy a small bag of bread to feed the big fish next to you.

Donwai floating market located nearby Nakornchaisi river opens everyday. There are many fresh fruits, vegetables, foods and desserts and all the prices are reasonable.You can take the boat (pls check with the officer there) along the river. The merchants are kind. The below photos are some of them. The parking lot is plenty but it will be crowded in the weekends. Have fun and enjoy 😁😁

One of my favorite floating market located around 30 km from Bangkok city. I usually visit here on Saturday or Sunday. From toys, plants, fresh vegetables, fresh fruits, Thai local snacks until heave meals are availabe here. I like to have lunch in one of restaurants beside river. We also can ride the boat and bring the snacks on the boat. Just buy the boat ticket onsite.

We dropped by this market on way to Kanchanaburi. Great venue to experience the local vibe and way of life. From fresh food to local Thai desserts to snacks, it has lots of variety. I even saw accessories stores (for kids) and a store selling bling bling jewellery.

Was a cool experience but the vendors try to scam you with bad prices be careful and know how much things should cost before you go! Bring cash

Amazing floating market. It is not too big, but feels very authentic. Locals are extremely friendly and we were able to try some traditional soup for 20 THB. Also, you can take a 30-minutes long boat ride for 100 THB per person.

Local farmers' market with homegrown fruits and vegetables at fair prices. The atmosphere has a casual, relaxed canal-side vibe, and it's great to support local vendors. The overwhelming use of single-use plastics—bags, cups, straws—is hard to overlook. It really takes away from the charm. A less plastic and a few more conscious, eco-friendly choices would go a long way in making Wat Takien not just a good stop, but a great and sustainable one. ♻️🌿🛶🧑🏽‍🌾👩🏾‍🌾

This is one of the floating markets near Bangkok worth for a visit. It is in the area of Wat Takien, Nontburi province.

Local Suburban Thai market with 99.9% local shoppers. Great food not really a tourist attraction. If you drive don't go in the gates go around to the new massive parking area. Open on weekends and some holidays.

Nice market with delicious food and smooth vendors. Fair prices, relax ambiance. Recommended for a quick bite and fresh coffee.

Local floating market within Takien temple. There are many food shops be indoor and on boats. The price of foods and local vegetable are cheap. You can enjoy with food and buy something back with cheap price. By the way it is quite hot.

Floating market at Nonthaburi. Thai noodle soup open everyday. A lot of street food you have to come

Thank you. Mr Dustyn come to PP barber. Have you enjoy and Happy to Thailand 🇹🇭 > best look for your style 😀

Bad experience during the Elephant ride , they very rude to even talk when enquired about the picture and the price , they expect you to just buy…. Will never visit

Quiet little market, not really something for a tourist but a local market for Thais. However I do encourage people to visit as there is the most amazing little coffee shop here that serves amazing hand ground coffee and is served well presented on a small tray with chinese tea. There is a small chinese influenced temple to the rear and a small bridge which offers rustic photo opportunities, particularly in the evening

I really love this place, only locals around and you have to speak Thai. Food is excellent and people are so friendly and laid back

Literally nothing here, a tiny market with like 3-5 shops and some are closed even on Saturday. Not worth the time and driving effort. You guys need to work more harder to push your market otherwise there are a heap of better choices. For example, you can go to 7-11 and find more food and items than here.

It's such a amazing place with Thai and Chinese traditional. The market is quite peaceful and cultural atmosphere. If you want to travel in traditional things including foods, life, community, and nature, you should visit this place. The feeling of traditional canal view makes you relaxing as you has minimal life.

Just a simple community market.

A beautiful floating market, really not a tourist focus. Here you will still meet many locals. The food is delicious and very cheap, unlike tourist spots. A trip with a boat is really recommended for only 100 baht you will be taken to a temple and after a short stay to an orchid farm and back to the starting point. The waterways are wonderful you see many locals live and work like this. A great experience on a wonderful day. I can really only recommend this place to you.

A floating market in a Kumpang Temple. With a freindly seller make the market welknown and some foreigner are visitng to worship and shopping. Mainly food with some table for seating and acceptable price. Parking are available around the temple.

We came by boat to this temple and they have small Sunday market. Stop by to pray and walked around for about 20 minutes. The market offer variety of food selection and the price is not too expensive. Only a few activities for the children as well.

This market is clean and easy to park then walk. There is not much shop here but you can find various thai traditional food. It is really like you are on countryside. There is a tourist boat service. It is really good to sit here in the morning.

Wat Saphan is a floating market that is easy fun to shop and have beautiful sightseeing! It was my first trip exploring Bangkok by a boat. The price was worthy of the length of my journey and amazing. We stopped at some places. The places weren’t beautiful enough but it could add your experiences 😊✅

Wat sapan ratchapuek floating market Similar as khlong lat mayonm but smaller. Sells foods, fruits, and vegetables. Has a Buddhist wat temple with several devotees praying. We arrived by a river boat for 20 minutes. There are two floating food stalls. The toilets are free for use and clean.

You can go to this market by one hour boat trip from Khlong LadMayom floating market for 100 baht. Small market and Buddha centered market. I don’t recommend visiting only this market but I strongly recommend going to Khlong LadMayom floating market and choosing 1-hour boat tour includes Orchids farm and this floating market.

Nice food, a bit pricey.

Really good and fun experience but be careful with scammers, they tried to make us pay 2500baht per person for the boat ride and we managed to end up paying 500 each, so don’t let them scam you. Anyways, a thing you must do if you’re in Bangkok.

It was great experienced I’m so pleased to my self that I went there!

Very intresting

Must experience

(Translated by Google) Very characteristic local street market.

Consiglio veramente una visita se si vuole vivere un esperienza al di fuori dei soliti giri turistici

(Translated by Google) A nice and enjoyable experience, but try not to have it in the month of December because the weather will be hot and you must have cash with you because the account is cash only and the prices will be almost double. (Original) تجربة جميلة وممتعة بس حاول ماتكون في شهر ديسمبر لان الجو بكون حار ولازم يكون معك كاش لان الحساب كاش فقط والأسعار راح تكون مرتفعة تقريبا دبل

(Translated by Google) It was cool, but a total tourist rip-off, don't buy anything, just look at it and try to get the trip cheaply somehow (Original) War zwar cool, aber absolute Touristen Abzocke, nichts kaufen einfach nur anschauen und versuchen die Fahrt irgendwie günstig zu bekommen
