Any recommendations for floating markets in and around Bangkok guys? Obviously heard of Damnoen Saduak but heard that gets very busy apart from v early. I have relatives visiting.

 

Links, recs experiences and contacts appreciated [emoji1317][emoji1303]

For what day?

There are in the BMA-area around 30 or so, but 28 of these only operate weekends (if at all and still alive). For weekdays mo-fr your choice is limit to DS.

On sat+sun, and if its just for the idea (none of them in fact are really floating-you can go by boat and see the vendors from the waterside) are just behind the Khet of Taling Chan (side road beyond old end before new Sai Thai) or the further out at Wat Ray King (near to border with Nakorn Phatom, but with other touristy attractions close by to make for a full day out- Rose Garden).

Yes sorry it’s Monday - Friday. Wanted to avoid DS as it looks like a tourist trap. And Taling chan is obviously open on Saturdays but a great shout as it looks more on the traditional side. I had suggested Koh Kret as an alternative to them. That said rose garden in NP looks like just the ticket so might give that a try! [emoji1317][emoji1303]
