Khlong Lat Mayom Floating Market is one of Bangkok’s most beloved weekend floating markets, offering a genuine slice of Thai culture without requiring a long trip from the city. Located on the Thonburi side of Bangkok, this market retains its simple charm and authentic riverside lifestyle, making it popular with both locals and travelers.

The market is divided into several zones: food stalls, fresh fruit stands, souvenir and craft zones, and boat ride services. You'll find an abundance of delicious Thai dishes such as:

• Slow-braised pork over rice

• Flavor-packed boat noodles

• Traditional mackerel in sweet soy stew

• Ancient-style crispy Thai pancakes and steamed palm cakes

• Seasonal fruits from nearby orchards

A key highlight is the long-tail boat ride along the Khlong Lat Mayom canal, where visitors can pass by traditional Thai homes, gardens, old temples, and peaceful natural scenery. You may also stop at local houses to buy fresh produce or learn about rural ways of life.

The market is surrounded by shady trees and has a green, eco-friendly atmosphere, with many vendors committed to reducing plastic use. It’s ideal for all ages, especially families seeking a relaxing cultural experience close to the city.

• By car: Take Borommaratchachonnani Road or Ratchaphruek Road, then turn onto Bang Ramat Road. The market is located nearby with parking lots available.

  • Parking fees range from 10–20 THB, depending on vehicle type and duration.

  • It’s recommended to arrive early (around 8:00–9:30 AM) to avoid traffic and secure a parking spot.

• By public transportation: Take bus numbers 79, 146, or 511 and get off near the entrance. From there, walk for about 5 minutes or take a short motorcycle taxi ride.

• Visit early in the morning (8:00–10:30 AM) for cooler temperatures and fewer crowds.

• Bring cash, as many small vendors don’t accept cards or mobile payments.

• Don’t miss the boat ride—it’s one of the best ways to experience the local lifestyle.

• Bring a camera or smartphone, as the market is full of charming photo spots.

• For fresh fruit, walk a bit further inside the market to find orchards selling directly from their gardens.
