I recently went to the Floating Market about 1 1/2 hours outside of Bangkok and was highly disappointed. The visit provided no cultural significance or history. This market is the exact same thing you would see at the Night Market (Patpong) in BKK with street vendors trying to sell you anything and everything under the sun. On top of this,... More

This is a great and colourful market, with some wonderfully cheap finds. Make sure you hire a boat for not more than 100 (a hundred) Bahts (they will ask you for 3000...) and get a "guided" tour of the market.

I visited floating market with my wife. Actually, it was my second time to visit this market. I was still amazed how many floating boats conduct business in a narrow stream of water. Many sellers on a boat sell fruits, artifacts, paints and many more things without any problem or accidents. Prices are good but I have advise each traveler... More
