About this place

This UNESCO-listed market comes alive Friday through Sunday evenings with boat vendors grilling fresh prawns, fish, and squid right on the water. The atmosphere is magical at sunset when temple bells ring and fireflies emerge. Take the boat tour to see traditional wooden houses, arrive by 4 PM for parking, and try the famous boat noodles served directly from longtail boats.
