We took a train and then a taxi ride to the Khlong Lat Mayom Floating Market. Whilst it was busy, there were no queues for a ride on the canal boat. We were told that the boat ride would be for about an hour. In reality, it was about 1 1/4 hours, which was even better! The boat ride was good value for money with a couple of short stops along the way. It was great to see life along the edge of the canal along the way and observe the wonderful charasmatic stall vendors. We had a wander around the market, which was a predominently food market and picked up various foods for lunch from the stalls. All was delicious! Most visitors appeared to be locals rather than tourists. We were there for about 4 hours. To be recommended.

We visited this floating market from Bangkok on a Saturday. The drive took about 20 minutes using the Grab app (210 - 300 baht one way). The best thing about Grab is that the driver knows exactly where you want to go. We did a 40-minute boat tour on a traditional longtail, 100 baht. Very nice scenery, plants and houses along the water. A few boats selling food. The best thing about this market for us was the actual (dry) market, which was humongous! Few tourists in the deeper layers of the market (just walk along the canal/pier and you’ll get there quickly), lots and lots of wonderful food! Enjoyed the karaoke of Thai people during a fish pedicure. Very very happy we went to this market. Enjoy!

Having done my research on T.A. about floating markets in Bangkok this one looked our type of market,not too touristy and not to hard to get to.We were staying in central Bangkok and when we came out of our hotel on the Sunday morning and asked the taxi drivers about getting to this market they all said it was a very small market and would take long time to get there and wanted to take us to other markets.So having done some research we jumped on the skytrain to Bang Wa station at the end of the green line then got a taxi,some drivers wanted to charge 200 THB to go there but we got a meter only one and it was only 83 THB It had only taken about one hour to get there from our hotel not the two hours quoted by the taxi drivers.We arrived around 10.00 AM.and the market was not yet busy,there were plenty of locals shopping as well as tourists.The market is a good mix of fresh foods,tourist gifts etc.and places to eat and drink.There are several ways of taking a trip down the canals,we chose a shared long tail boat trip for about 90 minutes visiting a temple and an orchid farm at a cost of 100 THB per person.The boat trip was very good with the driver giving it some stick when he could and being very helpful when we were getting on and off.The visit to the temple was O.K. much like any other small temple and there were a few stalls selling local goods.At the jetty you could buy some bread loaves to feed the catfish in the canals and they go mad for it climbing over each other to get to the bread,there are hundreds of them and all big fish,quite entertaining.then we went to the orchid farm and saw them growing these pretty flowers and also selling plants and ornaments,caution needs to be taken as the paths in the farm are narrow and the mud and water at the side is quite deep as one guest found as they stepped off the path up to their knee in it.Then it was back to the market by about 11.30 and it was much busier by this time.Getting a taxi back to the skytrain was no problem as there were plenty dropping people off at the market and it cost exactly the same back.Recommend this market for it"s good mix of locals and tourists and the interesting boat ride,advise to go early before it gets too busy.

Seller was selling rotten fruit. Went back to try and return the item, he was making it out as if it was my fault and was initially willing to refund 50% of the purchase cost. After a lot of time passed he then offered back 150 baht from the original 200 baht stating that he can’t resell it and therefore would be making a lost!! Who in their right mind and ethical would try to resell rotten food to other buyers? I’m sorry I was the one that was making a lost and it had made the whole experience really negative for my party and me. Everyone worked hard to earn a living, and for tourists these are our hard earned money which we want to enjoy using when on holiday but to be ripped off regardless of the amount is not a pleasant experience. I would certainly won’t be going back, if one seller can blatantly say that about wanting to resell rotten food then what about other sellers? I wouldn’t be taking that risk since there are plenty of other markets to visit in and around Bangkok

We woke up early on Saturday Morning and were in our Grab Ride(app) by 9am heading to the Khlong Lat Mayom Floating market. We were there in about 20mins how traffic was very quiet and on the boat by 9:30am which was the first boat tour. There is a few different companies doing Canal/floating market boat tours watch our pricing. Some people paid much more for the exact same. there were 4 of us and one other group of 3 people on our boat. Was very quiet. The boat tour was about 1.5 hour. 2 stops- orchid farm and small village market plus some much beauty in-between 40baht a person. I thought it would have been more of the floating markets you see in pictures. It is much much different. There is a small section that is the market with a few people in boats most of it was on land. The small village was also a market but on land. The village market had a small temple and some local vendors selling there stuff. it was very quiet as well. which was really nice. As we were leaving the market other boats were just showing up and they were crammed full. So glad we went early! We had about 30 mins at the village market. The Orchid farm was beautiful and smelled amazing but really you can't buy anything to take home. So seemed a bit pointless. We passed so many boats again just crammed full. Once back we shopped and ate at the market. We left around noon and the Grab Ride back was 40 mins because traffic was so heavy. Use Grab app so you know the fares.

It's close to the city compared to other FM's. Took BTS fr Surasak to Bang Wa, then got a GRAB there. It's unique, not touristy as locals go there to eat & buy things (we went on a Saturday). Lots of stalls to choose from. Took the long tail boat for 100 B, ride was about 1 hour, visited a temple & orchid farm. It's worth going there to experience what is a floating market. There are also many paths to walk around.

Khlong floating market is one of the most popular floating markets of Bangkok. We reached there by cab. As you approach the place the traffic gets denser so you can drop down a little ahead and walk some distance. Once you reach there it’s difficult to find the place to get a boat. A little help from locals should be able to guide you to the boat ride. The ride is around an hour and a half. They take you through the narrow canals in a Long boat with around 12 people in one. The boat stops at the market where you can see various vendors selling food items off their boats in the canal. It also stops at an orchid nursery. There are nice plants and some garden decor stuff that you can buy from here as souvenirs. It’s really hot during the day time so it would be advisable to wear lot of sunscreen as well as carry along a scarf with you to cover in the boat. Don’t try to put your hands in the canal water as the water contains dangerous animals like Monitor lizard. There are options of some sea food available at the market but it would be good to carry along if you are a vegetarian. The ticket is not very expensive compared to other visiting points of the city.

It’s a real life market on solid ground built along a river system that passes through homes of locals. Took a longboat ride for100baht per person to get to an orchid farm which was not too interesting but the journey itself took us to see how the locals live beside the river, with many having boats to get around as well. The market itself seems quite big but we did not have enough time to fully explore. Lots of food to try out. Had the salt crusted fish which was good with very tender meat. Avoid the skin which is very salty

Good market to taste some local food at very cheap and good portion. Took the paddle boat for 50 Baht where you tour around for 45 mins.. Not much to see compare to Damnoen Saduak Floating market, but offers a different view (living by the river) and experience (very peaceful and quiet). Nearest to BKK.

It was a nice experience... But at the boarding point they fleece you for the boat trip. The taxi guy & agents are in collusion. Was not in our original plan but the cabbie kept insisting... Is more than an hours drive outside the city.Initially asked for 3000 TBHT per head & we finally settled for 1000 for 4 of us. Just take the ride for an hour...don't but anything around.
