Thailand's floating markets offer a unique way to shop and eat while supporting local vendors and getting a closer look at the traditional way of life.
While some markets seem to cater more to the tourist crowds, others offer a great authentic tourist experience that includes boarding a boat and letting your guide take you through the canals , where you'll see traditional stilt houses and run into sellers offering pottery from their boats. You will need to get up early to visit the floating market, as the vendors will show up on their long wooden boats in the morning with their wares, fresh fruits, vegetables, spices and delicious treats .
There are several floating markets near Bangkok, with Amphawa and Damnoen Saduak being the most popular. You can visit the markets on your own or take a guided tour, which often includes visits to other local attractions and shops.
