Floating Markets bring up images of a riot. The good kind, of course. These Thai icons are a riot of sights and sounds and smells and tastes. So important are floating markets to Thai culture that no Thailand <\/a>holiday would be complete without a jaunt to Amphawa or Taling Chan.
So, load up on bahts and pull out those boats, it\u2019s time for a rundown of the 5 Best Floating Markets in Bangkok. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 Damnoan Saduak<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Damnoan Saduak Floating Market<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The most popular of Bangkok\u2019s floating markets, Damnoan\nSaduak is everything you would expect it to be. Fruit laden boats gently bobbing\nover narrow canals. Street side vendors selling toys, t-shirts and trinkets.\nAnd steaming hot coconut pancakes sold by grey haired Thai aunties. Now that\u2019s\nwhat I call a market. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2 Taling Chan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Unlike the other floating markets on this list, Taling Chan\nis only 12km from Bangkok which makes it great for a quick afternoon trip. The\nmarket offers authentic Thai food, fresh flowers, handicrafts and the odd\nmasseuse selling a foot rub. Taling Chan is as Thai as it gets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3 Amphawa<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Located 50km from Bangkok, Amphawa is one of the best floating markets in Bangkok. Take a boat tour around the canals and stop at the Wat Bang Koong, an ancient temple that looks like it has been swallowed by a tree. This floating market stays open from noon till 8pm giving you a chance for some rare shut eye on your Thailand holiday<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4 Tha Kha<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Not far from another star on our list Amphawa, Tha Kha is a\nquieter alternative to its more popular neighbour. You get the same fresh\nproduce and authentic food without the hordes of selfie stick toting tourists.\nEnjoy a lazy day floating on the water with stops to sample some gai galae or\nThai BBQ chicken for the uninitiated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5 Bang Phli<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bang Phli Floating Market<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

One of the oldest floating markets in the Thailand, Bang Phli has been around since the 1800s. It is situated a mere 30km from Bangkok; getting to the market takes about as long as getting a Thailand Visa<\/a>. Enjoy incredible Thai noodles, fruit, seafood and a magical old-world charm in this hidden gem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bangkok is home to many more floating markets, but these are the real deal. Nowhere else will you find the hand to god authenticity that\u2019s missing in most tourist magnets in Thailand. And if you do, don\u2019t forget to comment below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
