Amphawa Floating Market

Reviewed By ArthurWang095 - Taipei, Taipei, Taiwan

This is a good place to experience the local life & feel the unique water market/life and tour. There are a lot things to see and many local food to try. We went for local tour at only 50 Baht per person to go for boat trip with 6 riverside areas that mostly local people go even they are not special but still worth to try.
這是個體驗當地生活的好地方,也是個很能體驗很特殊的水上市場、生活和行程的地方,還不少東西看,也很多東西可以吃,我們還花了一個人50泰銖的船費去了六個多是當地人才會去的河岸旁景點,雖然這幾個景點並不特殊,但還是很值得一遊。

Wat Bang Kung

Reviewed By PRMandWEN - Sydney, Australia

Visited 20-Mar
An interesting Buddhist Temple that has been completely overgrown by trees. Reminded me a little of the Buddha Head in the tree roots in Ayutthaya.
No signs or information in English I’m afraid so unless you have a guide who can explain what you are looking at (which we didn’t) you might want to do some research beforehand and prepare your own sightseeing notes……….. but if you don’t you will still enjoy the experience.
This is a peaceful site with a small number of Thai Tourists.

Maeklong Railway Market (Talad Rom Hub)

Reviewed By Lee C

It's a special & amazing experience to shopping/ dine in the railway market, especially when the train is arriving. The train is so close to us. However, the market is too crowded with tourists

Tha Kha Floating Market

Reviewed By Melvin M - Singapore, Singapore

Our guide took us to this floating market instead of the larger one. And indeed it is small! So small that there were only like 10 boats of vendors. But they were busy! Because there were locals actually buying stuff and eating from the cooking the vendors did on the boats. Its an authentic scene.
And more so were the canals. Because there are less tourists, the boat ride was so much more pleasant. Our boat ride took us through the networks and past the homes of the people living in this area collecting coconut nectar.
There is a food area under which a few stalls sell food and drink. But they are not restaurants. Definitely a better experience than the crowded floating markets but it depends on your preference of "ambience".

King Rama II Memorial Park

Reviewed By APinBKK - Bangkok, Thailand

The park is nice to walk around and the various traditional houses tell you about local life during the Rattanakosin period. There are also statues around the park depicting scenes from Thai literature. Worth a visit if you want a break from the crowds at the floating market.

Reviewed By Sue O - Bangkok, Thailand

Collected from hotel by Khun Jenn and taken to the Maeklng railway market to buy ingredients. Arrived at the right time to witness the excitement of the train arriving and the store holders quickly packing their goods away. Then to an old home in a coconut plantation for cooking school. It was very informative and the end results very tasty. If you aren't really a cook, Khun Jenn is on hand to help you out. Really good experience. Thanks Jenn.

Wat Bang Khae Noi

Reviewed By kumiko_fontong - Nonthaburi, Thailand

The outside of this temple is just so so but if you are walking in, you will find the amazing arts and craft inside the temple.
All of them are made of wood; differnt kind of woods. The tree behind the buddha posture are also hand made and made of woods.
The wood craft on the wall are also hand made. It is really amazing art you can find on the temple wall.

Order a Leo and let the boat go down the river. Weaving in and out from stall to stall look at the wares and take some great photos. Nothing really special to buy but the experience is special.
