Amphawa Floating Market

A very famous floating market on the Maeklong River. I thought the food was good and reasonably priced, but my Thai friend who went with me said that everything there has gotten a lot more expensive. Boat tours and homestays are popular.

Sightseeing spot for dat trip from Bangkok you will meet the shops for local foods along the river The price is very reasonable, lots of old and rare food stuffs and you can help buying from the locals too. Dont forget to try coconut and palm juice called Nam Tan Sod, you can take a boat trip to visit 5 temples for only 50 THB and sure you will gain a lot of experience and impression like me

Parking? Oh yes—plenty of it! Inside and outside the temple, because Buddha believes in convenience. Only 30–40 baht to leave your chariot there and strut a short distance to the market like a local hero. The market? A paradise of snacks and souvenirs. And guess what? The prices won’t make your wallet cry like they do for unsuspecting tourists—finally, justice! The vibe? Absolutely charming. Think cozy canal-side house, but with more noodles and fewer mosquitos (okay, maybe a few mosquitos—it's authentic, alright?). Now, there was this one restaurant we walked by. The staff stared deep into our souls and practically telepathically said, “Sit here or never know peace.” So naturally, we kept walking in pure petty defiance. Fast forward: we landed at the last restaurant. And oh boy, jackpot. The view? Chef’s kiss. At 6:30, fireflies appeared like nature’s version of fairy lights. The sunset? Straight out of a romance movie. The sky? Instagram couldn’t handle it. And the fireflies? Sparkling like someone spilled Christmas all over the river. 10/10 would ignore pushy restaurants again.

A thai traditional market is located in Ampawa district There’s a plenty of shops Now it’s quite silent but also good vibes We can walking around the market and very relaxing

I went on a tour to see the Amphawa floating market and fireflies. There were many shops around the floating market canal, and it was a quite unique sight to see. After the sun went down, I took a boat to see the fireflies. It was nice to see the fireflies, plus the sunset and the surrounding scenery while riding the boat were very beautiful.

What I like the most about the market is how the local accommodate the people. Friendly village and good variety of local Thai traditional food. Good for cultural activities tour for foreigners as well.

Cool to take some air from Bangkok, one day trip. Enjoy the boat ride, enjoy the small shops around there. I recommend November to February to get magic sunsets.

Very nice market with interesting products sold! And the price are super reasonable! You could take a boat ride around the river for reasonable price too❤️☺️ a definite must for visit!
