healthcaretaker Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I can't find any discussion threads here. How many floating markets are there in Pattaya ? I find these photos very appealing but the 2 maps are not clear as to where exactly is the floating market. http://www.google.com.my/search?q=pattaya+floating+markets&hl=en&rlz=1C1SKPC_enMY401MY401&prmd=imvns&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=OvFFT_qQEMXKrAfsvoWoCw&ved=0CEsQsAQ&biw=1366&bih=707#q=pattaya+floating+markets&hl=en&sa=X&rlz=1C1SKPC_enMY401MY401&tbm=isch&prmd=imvns&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.,cf.osb&fp=c8ecda57da450467&biw=1092&bih=565 Have anyone been there and give some tips ? How to get there by songtheaw and what's the opening hours for this place ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LennyW Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Here http://g.co/maps/pyfue Opens around 10am, avoid weekends or holidays as the place is absolutely packed, just normal to see 40 - 50 tour buses double and triple parked along Sukhumvit !!!

healthcaretaker Posted February 23, 2012 Author Share Posted February 23, 2012 Thank you but the 1st one given is totally Thai and the 2nd one is to simple and not to scale, difficult to figure them out. Anyway, I will look for the Red Line Beach bus provided. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I will look for the Red Line Beach bus provided. Thanks. It's quite easy to find, if you come from Pattaya Klang and you drive towards Sukhumvit, turn right at the traffic lights onto Sukhumvit. Drive past Pattaya Thai (BIG C, Home Works), drive past Thepprasit (Lotus), drive past Makro and then maybe after another couple of km's (not sure exactly) it's just past a PTT gas station on your left hand side of the road. You can't miss it as LennyW already said: just normal to see 40 - 50 tour buses double and triple parked along Sukhumvit !!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmicheald Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Don't go there to buy anything.. Prices are 3 times what you can get them elsewhere in Pattaya. It is interesting to see, but a total rip off for prices. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I was there we got lots things cheaper there than in Pattaya 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PattayaParent Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Not worth the bother of going there unless you have your own transport and even then not worth the 20 Baht car park charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gone Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I agree that it is the biggest farce going and really all it is is the same shops you see all over Pattaya just built on wooden stilts in a mosquito infested rubbish lake. However if you really want to see it then every WHITE songteaw on Sukhumvit is strictly just that, a sukhumvit songteaw and they travel all down frm North of Pattaya to almost Rayong. Just flag one down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gone Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 No idea but most likely cheap. Just go and pay what they ask for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
