Don't expect countless vendors in boats at Amphawa Market; this market is more like a canal-side market. In Thai, these markets are called “talat nam” which literally means “water market”, but is translated to English as “floating market”. Of course, there are some vendors on small wooden boats that cook and sell their food to visitors. But you will mostly find dozens of restaurants and food stalls along the canal serving delicious food and local delicacies. Amphawa Market is definitely worth visiting though. It is a very popular market among the locals because of all the delicious snacks and food that can be found there.

Itinerary
1
Mae Klong Railway Market (Hoop Rom Market)
Check out the Mae Khlong Railway Market, it’s located right on top of a railway line, and trains run right through the market a few times per day. Suddenly a train approaches as the market literally folds away and lets the train pass through. Then, in a matter of seconds, it unfolds back into a busy market.
The duration of attraction included traveling time from Bangkok to Maeklong.
3 hours and 10 minutes
2
Wat Bang Kung
Visit Wat Bang Kung, one of the most iconic. Having been engulfed by the roots and branches of large banyan trees over the course of several centuries the temple provides a seamless combination of natural beauty and serene spiritualism.
1 hour
3
Amphawa Floating Market
Amphawa Market is a vibrant and colorful market. It’s become such a magnet for Bangkokians during weekends that food stalls have grown from the riverbanks and stretched far into the surrounding streets.
Visitors can delight in a myriad of authentic Thai flavors, culture and sights as they explore the local items for sale and chat with the friendly locals. Along each side of the canal, old charming wooden shops sell everything from traditional handicraft souvenirs to delicious street food.
As the sky darkens, we embark on a firefly boat ride through the tranquil waterways surrounding the market. While the firefly boat rides can be enjoyed any evening, they are particularly magical during the dry season.
Amphawa offers visitors a real unique and memorable experience!
NOTE:
Don't expect countless vendors in boats at Amphawa Market; this market is more like a canal-side market.
The duration of attraction included travelling time from Amphawa back to Bangkok.
