The 6 best cheap eats in Amphawa

Sightseeing spot for dat trip from Bangkok you will meet the shops for local foods along the river The price is very reasonable, lots of old and rare food stuffs and you can help buying from the locals too. Dont forget to try coconut and palm juice called Nam Tan Sod, you can take a boat trip to visit 5 temples for only 50 THB and sure you will gain a lot of experience and impression like me

This market was very disappointing. There weren’t many vendors on boats, and most of it was inside—hot, sticky, and full of flies. We expected it to be much bigger. We rode motorbike from Bangkok to see it, but it wasn’t worth the trip. The boat ride just circles around the river, and we even saw a few boats broken down. The food didn’t look appetizing either. Overall, we wouldn’t recommend this market.

It is a cool place to walk around and shop. You can get in the boat and go on a little tour and you can spot fireflies at night (their population has been depleting though so it's upto your luck if you're going to see one or not). There's a lot of snack and food stalls and stores around BUT I wouldn't really recommend going for a full meal. The food around here isn't really the best. It's more of a shop stop.

We visited Amphawa Floating Market in the afternoon, and although it is more famous for its evening vibes, we still enjoyed the experience. The market has a local charm with stalls lined along the canal selling snacks, drinks, seafood, and souvenirs. Not all shops were open yet because it gets busier later in the day, but there was still plenty to explore. We enjoyed walking along the riverside, browsing the stalls, and soaking in the relaxing atmosphere without the usual evening crowds. You can also take a short boat ride to see more of the canal area, which adds to the floating market experience. Overall, even in the afternoon, Amphawa offers a cultural and enjoyable stop, especially if you prefer avoiding heavy crowds and want a more leisurely visit. 🌤️🛶✨

Day 2: Road Trip Amphawa Floating Market Thailand Awesome place however best to come on a Saturday & Sunday because more shops are open. Still cool as ! #roadtrip #thailand #samuiexplorer #amphawafloatingmarket

Parking? Oh yes—plenty of it! Inside and outside the temple, because Buddha believes in convenience. Only 30–40 baht to leave your chariot there and strut a short distance to the market like a local hero. The market? A paradise of snacks and souvenirs. And guess what? The prices won’t make your wallet cry like they do for unsuspecting tourists—finally, justice! The vibe? Absolutely charming. Think cozy canal-side house, but with more noodles and fewer mosquitos (okay, maybe a few mosquitos—it's authentic, alright?). Now, there was this one restaurant we walked by. The staff stared deep into our souls and practically telepathically said, “Sit here or never know peace.” So naturally, we kept walking in pure petty defiance. Fast forward: we landed at the last restaurant. And oh boy, jackpot. The view? Chef’s kiss. At 6:30, fireflies appeared like nature’s version of fairy lights. The sunset? Straight out of a romance movie. The sky? Instagram couldn’t handle it. And the fireflies? Sparkling like someone spilled Christmas all over the river. 10/10 would ignore pushy restaurants again.

Had beautiful experience with Amphawa floating market. We walk around, shopping and eating. Authentic thai food with Authentic market experience. Night time we pay for a boat ride to see fireflies, it was raining season so the whole tree was filled with them like a christmas lights. One even flew around us in a boat on my shoulder. We didn't stay the night but it was 9 out of 10. Minus 1 point for the toilet, we always had to pay 5 bahts for every toilet visit.

Not recommended. Totally overpriced for worse than mediocre quality of food. Grilled chicken is dry. Scallops in garlic butter is tiny; you pay approx. 15 bht for finger nail sized scallops. Charges 15 bht for air-conditioned room per person. Find another place.

It is relatively expensive in the same area. No air conditioning. We ordered shrimp (sadly only M size) steam crab and butter scallops. Scallops are small, taste ok. Crab is good. Shrimp is just average, we had one gone bad, and the staff changed one for us. Overall 1550 bat spent, but I will recommend visitor to try some other place.

I recommend Gaiyaan and soup pratu . These are very delicious. Somtam is normal or less average.

Ordered their fish, papaya salad and seafood palette but they didn’t deliver seafood palette. The fish was very fresh and good! Papaya salad was nice too. Ambience was ok, don’t mind gg back again

The food at this restaurant is absolutely delicious! I ordered crab fried rice, which is soft, fragrant, and not greasy—arguably the best fried rice I’ve had in Thailand. The grilled chicken leg, a signature dish here, is also quite tasty. The creamy scallops are fresh, and the fact that the restaurant has air-conditioned seating means you can enjoy your meal without losing your appetite in the hot weather. Overall, it’s a highly recommended restaurant to visit.

If you want to eat sea food ..it's the place.. quite popular too.. service is fast...get freshly roasted prawns.. sniper.. chicken n many more stuff.. multiple varieties of noodles..taste is Thai...Indians may not like it..but you can order noodles veg or with shrimp or chicken..don't go to air-conditioned part as you have to pay 15 Baht per head extra which they will not tell you beforehand

Old tradition Pub hall with thai style home cooking variety of tasts with fun to eat form som tum and grilled seafoods specialty soups and larg portion of side dishes, a great experience for all ages.

Great tasting coffee. Beans locally sourced from Amphawa. Lady Barista made an amazing Latte & Macchiato for us 👍👍

Rustic cafe shop located in Amphawa floating market… nice seating arrangement facing the river… drinks priced reasonably & tastes good… worth trying if you are visiting Floating market

Great little place and some seating area. Cookies and drinks were tasty. Very friendly staff. The style of the place was nice also. Would go again. Prices were good also

Nice and modern vibes. Honey latte was good with pretty strong coffee kick, but cookies and croissant were a let down, despite the really long wait time for the croissant to be heated up. Overall, not a bad place to chill with good vibey music with some coffee, but would give the pastries and cookies a miss

Beautiful shop, good coffee, including some signature menu items. Price is a little more than the other coffee shops round here (70-80 baht rather than 30-40 baht) but it's better coffee and a nicer experience. Staff very friendly too.

deep taste of cold brew with choco croissant is my choice!

Although homemade cookies are four different flavors, the chocolate taste is overpowering it’s own flavor. 1 for 85, 4 for 300 isn’t worth it.

Good restaurant with strong taste of spiciness. Very love Crispy deep fried Makarel. Other dishes have very strong taste but a bit too strong. Atmosphere is nice however not much table avaliable if coming large group recommend to reserve in advance.

Great food. Just delicious. Green curry with coconut shoot is very nice. We ordered like 6-7 dishes for four people. All are superb. Price is reasonable. Coconut ice cream is one of the best we've ever tried. Parking is limited so try to be there early. Service is nice.

The shop is located not far from Amphawa floating market. The front of the shop overlooks the Mae Klong River. Food prices start at 100 baht. The taste is delicious and not too expensive.

Situated amongst the Mekong river this traditional Thai restaurant offers more than food alone. It gives a platform to local artists, the venue itself is decorated with art. We had Pakropong (sea bass) wrap, the fish was professionally filleted, the taste was excellent. As a second dish we had sour curry soup with vegetable omelet. All delicious and for a very democratic price of 780 Baht.

The staff were very friendly and attentive. When we arrived we were informed that we had a little 2 hours before the kitchen closes and I suppose the restaurant too. We were fine with this. Ordered a beer and a fruit mix drink was was delish. Had chicken in Thai basil and grilled fish. the fish was amazing first time ordering it. Love the decor and a had a nice vibe. Prices was also a little pricey side but for a place like this was expected and well worth it IMO.

I had the chance to visit this restaurant and while I had some highlights, there were certain aspects that could be better. The Duck Soup was a delightful treat - a shining star on the menu that I would wholeheartedly recommend. The Litisch Vodka and Leo Beer served were both commendable, with the beer being served refreshingly cold, which I appreciated. The continuous service of ice-cold water was a thoughtful touch and made the experience much more comfortable, especially during these hot summer days. I was a bit disappointed by the Cashew Salad - it seemed to predominantly consist of nuts. We were expecting a more complex dish with a mix of flavors and ingredients. Similarly, the Chicken Cashew was alright, but it didn't stand out in any special way. One of the key challenges was the language barrier with the waitstaff who were unable to communicate in English, which made the dining experience slightly complicated. The place was bustling with customers, which is usually a positive sign. And the option for outdoor seating was a plus. However, the arrival of a massive van in the midst of our dining experience was quite disruptive, which was rather unexpected. In conclusion, while there were enjoyable moments and some nice touches, there are areas where the restaurant could improve. I'm giving this establishment a three-star rating, with the hope that they will take these comments on board to enhance their overall customer experience. Cash only below 1000Bath

Nice place to have lunch here after the trip to the floating markets nearby. We had their grilled giant king River prawns, fried fish and clear tomyum soup. The staff was very kind to let us know the price of the prawns before they confirmed the order (2 prawns - 1200+ baht), it was delicious. The fried fish however was a bit over cooked and dry. This place is mostly visited by the locals, not over crowded by tourists.

(Translated by Google) Delicious coffee, good atmosphere in the Chaipatthanurak Amphawa project. It's coffee that uses a pot. The coffee has a strong, mellow taste. (Original) กาแฟอร่อยบรรยากาศดีอยู่ในโครงการชัยพัฒานุรักษ์อัมพวา เป็นกาแฟที่ใช้ pot กาแฟรสชาติเข้ม กลมกล่อม

(Translated by Google) The shop is near the Amphawa Chaipattana Anurak Project. It's a small shop. The shop is decorated cutely. The owner is polite.

(Translated by Google) Cute little cafe in Amphawa. Anyone who drives, drive a little past the shop. Before crossing the bridge on the left, there will be a turn to park. Then slowly walk back to the shop, not far, about 150 meters. The shop is decorated cutely, the owner is polite, the service is good, friendly, the shop is clean, the drink menu looks good. The price is very friendly.

The best food I have ever had in Amphawa. Nice owners can communicate in English without problems. Foods here are awesome, delicious and unique. Highly recommended to everyone when visiting here.

Delicious noodle dishes, friendly vibes and hospitable service, very relaxing atmosphere. One of my favourite places to eat in Amphawa!

Good quality local menu with the environment of local Ampawa nearby the canal

Delicious pork grill menu, enjoy it.

The food : I ate noodle and Padthai.It was too sweet even my brother usually love eating sweet. But the pork was really good I like it. The surroundings : I like the song and the decorations.But one thing that needs to change is the Label in front of the place.I can rarely see the label it was so tiny.So let make it bigger or even make some photos of your BEST SELLER dish. This is all I can recommend from my point of view (prospect's view). I want to help other people.

Delicious noodles! Parking available too. Awesome!

I ordered pad Thai. Very yummy 😋
