"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
"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
"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
