Taling Chan Floating Market

At Taling Chan Market, vendors in wooden boats sell fresh produce, seafood, and ready-to-eat meals along the interconnected canals of western Bangkok.

The canal network of Bangkok originated as a practical transportation solution when the region consisted of dense jungle, leading to the development of water-based commerce.

Local families gather at this weekend market to share meals, purchase household goods, and maintain the tradition of waterway trading in Bangkok.

The market operates from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM on Saturdays and Sundays, with direct access by taxi or bus number 79 from central Bangkok.

Visitors can select fresh fish and seafood from boat vendors, who prepare and cook their selections immediately on floating kitchens.
