Amphawa Floating Market

03 May

Visitors who call on to Bangkok, Thailand usually visit Damnoen Saduak floating market to see the old-style vendors touting their wares from small boats floating on the river. For a real Thai floating market experience though, keep away from Damnoen Saduak and it’s crowds of western tourists and, instead, head out of Bangkok to Amphawa Floating Market – a gigantic floating market an hour outside Thailand’s capital city.  At Aphawa you’ll experience the ‘real deal’ and not a market plainly put on for tourists and their money.

How to Get to Amphawa – Amphawa Floating Market is in Samut Songkram Province, just over an hour outside Bangkok. The finest way to get there is to call a taxi and inform the driver where you want to go.  For around 1,000 baht ($30) you and diverse friends can arrive in air conditioned style. With tours to Damnoen Saduak tourist floating market costing $35 each, instantly you can see what a great deal this is.

Chatuchak Weekend Market

28 Apr

If you are into buying then Chatuchak Market will possibly be one of the finest shopping experiences you have ever had. However, it didn’t used to be like that. Not so long ago, Chatuchak was highly disordered. The streets running around the market were filled with slow moving traffic and shopping was totally hit and miss – you never knew where anything was, and it was merely a matter of diving into a stall, seeing what they had, and diving out again. At present, things are greater. The traffic has gone – there’s a vast car park at the back it’s pedestrians solely. The stalls are organized into zones, and you can get a map to show you where you need to go. The one thing that hasn’t changed is the bargains. Chatuchak offers everything from live animals to antiques. If you wanted to conceal the total market, it could take you days. If it’s hot, cease at the regular booths selling drinks and buy something – the last thing you want is to start feeling dehydrated in the middle of such a mass of humanity! Expect to spend a minimum of half a day at the market – planning for a full day might be better. This is absolutely worth a visit and you should strive and build it into your travel. Possibly one of the biggest markets in the world.

Details: The market is only open at weekends from 07:00 to 19:00. Free entrance.
