I wouldn’t normally complain but found this market really disappointing, including our driver. It could’ve been because it’s grossly over priced to get into a boat 2,000Baht for 2hrs and we arrived after 1pm. There were no floating markets as you’d imagine. There were stores by the side of the canals but no actual boats selling food when we got there, and this was our main reason for visiting. We have done floating markets before so knew what to expect. Our driver wouldn’t listen to us when we asked to stop at the only two boats that had grilled skewers (the only food we could see) and went to the shops he wanted us to see. The place he stopped to get us food, hiked up the price so much it was ridiculous. I would say I just enjoyed being on the water but the driver was not smooth at all. We didn’t do a tour. It took 2hrs to get there. Don’t go after 12pm it will disappoint. Tours/google map will say they’re open longer than they actually are... they technically will still sell you a ticket til their closing times but there will be nothing to really see and tickets won’t be cheaper for going later.

Recommended by a driver I thought I had made friends with in Bangkok. I think he likely got his cut from the deal because this was by far the most disappointing place I went to in all of Thailand. I thought there would be plenty to see but the only free/low cost activity is walking 100ft from the parking lot to the canal where you have to pay 2000B to get on a boat to see anything at all. That, or get right back in the car and drive 1.5 hrs back to Bangkok. I got on the boat to take a few pictures but all together very disappointing. The vendors who were actually present had all the same tourist items for sale. The water has trash, food boxes, bags and cups in it. None of the food or beers for sale had a price on it and is likely sold to you depending on what you look like you would pay for it. Got back to the canal pier where you will get asked to pay another 1000B to see a monkey show. Forget it. At that point, just wanted a ride home. I am certain that not all the floating markets are the same but save your time and money and stay far from this one.

The key phrase is "market"; before getting in the boat, while in the boat, and after getting out of the boat. However, we actually had a really good time, and all thought it was fun! The clothing and tchotchkes are interesting, but know the 1st offer is not really close to the price you can actually get the item for.

Experience the local market lifestyle, integrated with their resource. Turning a river into a marketplace, with food, fruits, and souvenir. The food is even cooked fresh on the paddle boat! I feel that if you visit, try going for the paddle boat, not the engine operated ones, as those aren't really environmentally friendly. They also spew smoke as they pass, ruining the experience of other tourists. The paddle boat on the other hand, gives an enjoyable experience and a slow cruise along the river.

I just come here to know how it feels bought a coconut pancake on a boat ride 😅 and it was a fun experience. But personally i think, u better take a tour from a travel agent, to make it easier and avoid the scam. 😉
