Positives:

  • Romantic Ambiance: Riverside seating and live music set a cozy mood for couples.
  • Local Flavors: Boats cook fresh Thai dishes on-site for an authentic taste.

Challenges:

  • Crowded Walkways: Aisles narrow during peak hours, making navigation with a partner tight.
  • Cash Only: Most vendors don’t accept cards, and ATMs are scarce on-site.

There is another floating market in Bangkok at Talingchan. In the past most of the shops were in the boats but now they are on the street. It is a small market that has many foods, fruits, clothes. This market opens in the weekend. Enjoy your weekend here.
