The vibrant Amphawa Floating Market is one of Thailand’s most famous floating markets. Some people think of it as merely a tourist trap, but its mix of floating stalls and authentic street food makes it a unique spot to visit. You’ll find boat stalls and land-based vendors selling fresh produce, grilled seafood, and souvenirs along the banks of the canal, and there’s the option to take a boat trip for an up-close look at this unusual marketplace.

If you hire a driver for the day, you can easily visit both Amphawa and Damnoen Saduak Floating Markets, as well as the Maeklong Railway Market. Keep in mind that Amphawa Floating Market is only open from Friday to Sunday.
