About this place

Operating Tuesday, Friday, and Sunday from 6:00-9:30 AM, this authentic floating market serves local communities along the canal network. Vendors paddle traditional wooden boats loaded with homegrown vegetables, fresh coconuts, and kanom traditional sweets made in their home kitchens. The best viewing spot is from the old wooden bridge, but you can also hire a longtail boat for 100 baht to join the floating vendors. Most tourists have never heard of this place.
