The floating markets of Bangkok are a not to be missed experience while you are visiting this magical city of the east. Piled high with tropical fruits and vegetables, these beautiful boats offer a truly authentic Thai experience that will leave a lasting memory on your journey. These boats also carry fresh ready to drink coconut juice and warm Thai-local food cooked within these floating kitchens itself.

Areas such as Damnoen Sadul and Taling Chan Market popularly offer guided boat tours that are affordable and pleasant without the annoying haggling of prices. Taling floating market is a few kilometer outside of Bangkok. While it is not so far from the city, the area is not entirely dominated by tourists and offers a great way to experience these traditional Thai styled boutiques on water. Enjoy a great seafood lunch, ride a long tail boat around the canals, find some great souvenirs to take back home and taste some local favourites. These floating markets open on Saturdays and Sundays and operate from around 8 am to 5 pm.

The most popular floating market in Bangkok is the Damnoen saduk market. This is a great place to experience this bygone way of life. To avoid the heat and humidity, make an early start while the weather is still pleasant and the air is fresh. These markets are a great way to experience the fascinating culture and the local way of life. Amphawa, Bhang Ku wiang and Bang Nam Pheung are some of the other popular floating markets in and around the city of Bangkok.
