Amphawa Floating Market
Amphawa, Tambon Amphawa, Amphoe Amphawa, Chang Wat Samut Songkhram 75110
Weekend canal market with floating food vendors, century-old wooden shophouses, and nightly firefly boat tours.
This guide to Amphawa Floating Market, southwest of Bangkok, follows a canal town gone quiet by the early two-thousands, its shophouses empty and its cooking boats stilled, and the wager the Thai government and Chulalongkorn University made to bring it back. You'll hear how the market reopened in 2004 and the recognition that followed from UNESCO. Best visited for a full weekend, market by day and river after dark.
