Amphawa Floating Market

Vendors in wooden boats sell fresh produce, seafood, and traditional dishes along the Mae Klong River's tributary canals every weekend.

The market began in the early 20th century as a trading post for local farmers and fishermen to exchange goods along the waterways.

Local residents prepare and serve authentic Thai dishes directly from their boats while traditional music performances occur along the waterfront.

The market operates from Friday to Sunday between 3:00 PM and 10:00 PM, with boat tours available for 500 baht per private vessel.

Evening boat rides allow visitors to observe fireflies illuminating the trees along the river banks during the rainy season from May to October.
