Bang Nam Pueng Floating Market

[leisurely]

I read about this in the travel forum and thought it would be a good place to take my parents to. We live in Bangna so it would be close. I have tried the number on several occasions and not been able to get through.

does anyone know whereabouts it is? I am desperate to go somewhere other than crocodile farm Muang Boran and Erewan museum.

Thanks in advance

In this map you can see clearer what I meant about the loop in the river. That is a big diversion for ships heading to Bangkok. I told you before that the only way for me to take my car to the other side of the river is to go to the car ferry which I have marked on this map. To cross the river by bridge, I have to follow the bend of the river to the King Rama IX bridge which is just off the map in the top left hand corner. You can see the green road which takes traffic across the river. The yellow line is the boundary for Samut Prakan. North of the river is Bangkok. As they are now building a new canal alongside the bridge the land inside the loop has become a virtual island. This is where I went exploring on Sunday. You won't find this area in the Lonely Planet.
