[2024 Bangkok ] Travel Guide for Khlong Lat Mayom Floating Market (Updated Oct)

An Interesting and Realistic Floating Market

This is one of the closest floating markets we could find online, so we decided to visit. It is about a 45-minute drive from the city center and can be easily reached by metro and a free shuttle bus. We spent about 2 hours here. You can buy food and sit anywhere you like. Try to find a table near the canal to feel the atmosphere of the floating market. There is more food at the market on the left side of the entrance. The long-tail boat tours are divided into shared and private boats. You can take a boat ride around the quaint canals with several short stops along the way. It was amazing to see the life along the canal and observe the charming vendors. I ate a lot of food here and also bought some clothes. The locals are very polite and friendly. Highly recommended!

Bangkok best floating market 🛶

The vibrant and full flavour local food makes Thailand's floating market a unique experience! Damnoen Saduak appears to be the best known floating market for a very long time, but that also makes it one of the most touristy ones. We recently discovered, Khlong Lat Mayom - another great outting experience for a real local vibe. There's really just plenty of food, ranging from tropical farmed fruits and vegetables, crispy pork, grilled prawn/squid with spicy sauce, coconut pancakes/desserts, pork satae, pad thai, khao soa --- all comes in small portion at reasonable price, so be prepared to EAT (till u drop) 😋🍜🍛🍝🦪🍢🍨🌮🥨🥥🍍🥭🌶🥜🍉🍈 Must not miss the boat noodle and the longtail boat cruise along nearby khlongs (canals) to get a relaxing glimpse of the local lifestyle. Getting There: The floating market can be visited independently. You simply turn up at the location and use the local transportation, either skytrain to Bang Wa Station then cab it. It's around around 15km outside of Bangkok, a taxi ride here will cost you around 150-200THB max 🚕🚄🛺🛶 Tips: May also bring along a personal cup, straw, tiffin if you want to use less single-use plastic♻️ Locationion: 15-30/1 Bang Ramat Rd, Bang Ramat, Taling Chan, Bangkok 10170, Thailand Open: Saturdays–Sundays from 8 am to 5 pm (closed on weekdays) #foodie #floatingmarket #streetfood #urbanexplorer #awesomepic #summervacation #thailand #bangkok #morningmarket #boattour

This isn't a real floating market, it's an indoor food market with a water theme. I absolutely adore the big lamb bone hotpot here, it's a bit more expensive than other markets, after all, it's in a central shopping mall, and it has air conditioning. And you must try the AFTER YOU smoothie!

Traditional River life

This experience was breathtaking. Its worth every penny. 1000 Bhat for 1 hour through the market and then the town on the water. You can book in Bangkok at all the Tourists stalls.

Khlong Lat Mayom Floating Market

It is one amongst the best floating markets in Thailand Bangkok. Opens only on weekends. Saturday and Sunday. Timings from 8am to 5pm. Ticket price for a private boat is 300 Thai baht per person and for the shared boat 100 Thai baht per person. It's a very different and unique experience and highly recommended. They also take you to 2 places on a boat - the Buddha temple and the Orchid garden which are decent enough.
