Pattaya Floating Market is a large cultural tourist destination that simulates the traditional Thai waterside lifestyle and trading practices. The area is divided into four main zones representing the geography and culture of each region: The North, Central, Northeast (Isaan), and South. Visitors can walk through the traditional wooden houses lining the water and enjoy shopping for a wide variety of goods, including local food, traditional Thai desserts, and regional handicrafts, which clearly reflect the unique characteristics of each area. Furthermore, the market actively promotes and preserves Thai culture through frequent folk performances and handicraft demonstrations.

The atmosphere at the Four Regions Floating Market is lively and colorful throughout the day. Must-do activities include taking a boat ride to enjoy the beautiful scenery from a different perspective, or taking photos at the many beautifully decorated spots. This venue is highly popular among both Thai and foreign tourists, as it is a place where you can learn about the different cultures of Thailand in one trip. It is suitable for the whole family, couples looking for a pleasant stroll, or those who enjoy photographing architecture and traditional lifestyles.

A striking feature that impresses tourists is the clear and unique zoning of each region. For example, the Northern zone features simulated Kalae houses and products such as woven fabrics, silverware, or wood carvings, while the Southern zone focuses on seafood and coconut products. Exploring this floating market feels like taking a condensed tour of Thailand. Visitors can try Pad Thai from the Central region, Gaeng Hung Lay curry from the North, Som Tum from the Northeast, and Gaeng Leung (Yellow Curry) from the South without having to travel across regions, creating a convenient and fulfilling tourist experience for all visitors.
