Khlong Lat Mayom Floating Market

Honest review! It's only worth it if it's your first time at an Asian food market. Otherwise, it's definitely not. The market itself is very typical of Thailand. Many people, like me, go there for the boat ride. But the boat ride is definitely not worth it. Basically, you're taken for 30-40 minutes along some boring canals where there's rarely anything to see other than concrete walls. Photos and videos are helpful (just keep in mind these are the best shots).

If you want to experience a real floating market, don’t come here. This market is only open on weekends, and there are just a few boats on the river. Most of the shops are located on land, not on the water. The boat ride is a joke. They drive extremely fast through the canal just to take you to another market where, once again, all the shops are on land. There are no boats in the water like you’d expect at a floating market. The boat tour costs 100 baht and is not worth it. I would not recommend this place. It’s also very far to get to using public transportation.

I was a bit reluctant at first, but this market was a nice surprise. The north section feels very local, relaxed, and great for sitting down and eating from small counters. The south part is much more touristy and crowded. Walk around the nearby streets too, they are very charming 🌴😴

Had a bunch of great food here. We did get a boat ride over from a different market and got left here but we made the best of it which wasn't hard with all the excellent food that was every where. I would advise to try a lot of different things. The food and fresh drinks were so good. I definitely over ate but it was worth it.

If you're visiting a local floating market in Bangkok, this is the one. I got recommended this one through a TikTok comment, as the floating market on that particular video was very scammy and much farther away than this one. Easy to reach by car and Grab and definitely a nice place. Lots and lots of food options and also cute markets. Got to taste a lot of local food and dishes, which was great! The boat ride was 600 baht (we didn't negotiate because the price felt fair already) and had a very nice long boat ride, with some very fast sections. Got to see the Indian monitor lizard in the water which was also very cool! There is a also a small place where you can see turtles and feed birds and rabbits! The birds fly on your hand if you put some food on your hand :) So definitely a cool place with kind people!

If you are looking to visit a unique market that still is quite local, not too touristic and still has Thai authencity, this is your market to visit! The market majorily focuses on food, but there are also some souvenir or gift shops. There are many different food options, really delicious and very affordable food. Highly recommended!

This is one of those less-touristy floating market near Bangkok heart proces are local too. Dont miss out the canal ride. Plenty of gems like thrift stores, crafts, and regional delicacy

** NOTE FOR THOSE EXPECTING A FLOATING MARKET: THERE WASN'T ONE AT 8:45AM ON A SUNDAY ** We got here around 8:45am on a Sunday and there wasn't much of a floating market - I saw some other reviews with pictures of at least some floating shops so I'm guessing we arrived too early. That said, the 45 min boat ride was enjoyable and we got a sense for some of the floating boat culture in the area (we saw houses, temples, outdoor toilets and some closed shops). There is a much bigger normal market adjacent to the boat ride that has lots of food, clothes and souvenirs, which was fun to tour.
