11 Best Street Food Spots in Bangkok

"Taling Chan Floating Market is exactly what you pictured when you planned your trip to Thailand. Once you walk in the entrance, past the plants and flowers, the smell of fried fish hits you. Ahead you'll see a small, narrow river flanked by traditional longboats serving every type of seafood imaginable. Little old ladies will grill octopus, shrimp, fish and more on their tiny boats as a frenzy of catfish splash around in the background. An entire salt-crusted grilled fish is a must, as are grilled prawns." - Katie Lockhart

Visiting Bangkok: My Suggested 3-5 Day Itinerary for 2025

"Taling Chan is more touristy than other floating markets, so I advise getting there early; it’s not the best place to shop but it’s excellent for people-watching and eating, and both Taling Chan and Khlong Lat Mayom can be reached by public transport." - Matthew Kepnes

The 22 Best Things to Do in Bangkok (Updated 2025)

"As the most popular of Bangkok’s main floating markets, Thaling Chan is busy and best visited early to beat tour groups; like other floating markets it’s a chaotic, aromatic place with lots of cheap food and a very unique atmosphere." - Matthew Kepnes

Taling is definitely more local focused so if you wish to step outside of the tourist environment then visit this floating market. We took a tour on the boat which led to another market we could walk for 20 minutes. Total boat experience was 1 hrs and 20 minutes. Not a lot at the 2nd market but you can grab something to eat but overall think of it as a local flea market (US type). That said, the tour guide was very social she pointed 2 or 3 places and that's why I give it 4 stars. Taling was a great place for fresh fruits and affordable souvenirs and even some clothing items. Easy to get to using Grab - easy drop off and pick spots.

Interestingly, this isn't a floating market. It's a market with a river next to it. You can take a boat ride on this river for 500-600 baht. A couple of boats sell goods, but the rest is just a regular market. I wouldn't recommend buying anything, as there's a lot of spoiled food. Mochi and sliced fruit are spoiled. You can rent a boat for 500 baht further from the entrance, across the bridge. You might as well not rent one, as there's nothing beautiful about this ride.

The market was amazing and full of energy. We had so much fun acting like crazy people, running and jumping from one stall to another, laughing and shouting like kids with no rules. The atmosphere was vibrant and unforgettable. The only small downside… my friend couldn’t stop farting, which made the experience even more chaotic than planned. Still, a hilarious and memorable visit that we’ll definitely never forget!

Its great for a boat rude but you cant help feeling super ablidged to buy things which is fine because its a market and to be expected. But you do see the same thing over and over again. Still a fun day out as long as you know you will be spending a lot if you like shiny things like me lol

The market is quite small. Boating for about 20 mins from the jetty. But the best part is, we could take photos at the railway near to the market. Since river kwai railway is far from here, we still get the vibes.

A very nice market with so many different foods and drinks to try. All the people are super friendly. Try as much as you can because it's all great. I would say caution with the floating market tour at the back. When I went the tour took us to another market and dropped us off, we didn't get to shop from the boat. Also when they dropped us off they only gave us 5 minutes to explore the new market. Needless to say. They left us and we had to get a taxi back.

Not what we expected. Only 1 vendor in a boat. Better to advertise as a food market, street food. 2 vendors with herbal balm / massage oils, products fantastic. A couple with clothing and some souvenirs. 300 thb for boat ride.

The Floating Market was really nice! There were many dessert options, and I went with a friend — we tried the salt-crusted fish, tilapia. I think it’s the best place in Bangkok to eat that! The price was very cheap, and the fish was huge. It was amazing to feel the whole market vibe with the boats passing by. 8.5/10 🌊🐟 I’m Brazilian and have a travel agency in Peru — Machu Picchu, Cusco 🇵🇪 @dopkertravel.
