About this audio guide
Bang Nam Phueng Floating Market sits on Bang Krachao, the mangrove river bend locals call Bangkok's Green Lung, reached by a short ferry crossing. The guide follows the residents who started this weekend market themselves in 2004 to sell garden surplus and protect their island from development, and points out stalls selling gac fruit juice and herb-based OTOP crafts along the canal walkways. Listen for vendors greeting each other by name as you browse.
