Floating markets around Bangkok are a popular way to experience traditional Thai culture and local food. These markets are set along canals where vendors sell fresh fruits, snacks, and souvenirs directly from their boats. Some of the most famous ones near Bangkok include Damnoen Saduak, Amphawa, and Taling Chan, but there are a few modest ones nearby.
Visiting a floating market is a fun opportunity to try Thai dishes, explore local life, and take photos of the colourful boats. Most markets are open on weekends, and mornings are the best time to visit before they get too hot and crowded. It’s a fun day trip from the city.
