A trip to the unique Ayutthaya Floating Market in Bangkok 66

The Ayutthaya Floating Market is one of Thailand's most popular attractions for tourists from home and abroad. We visited the famous Ayutthaya Floating Market in Bangkok, located in the town of Phai Ling, Ayutthaya, surrounded by rivers, with its quaint, traditional Thai architecture and boats to enjoy the scenery along the way. The Ayutthaya Floating Market covers a large area and it can take a whole day to get through it all, with a wide range of handicrafts, food, trinkets and great shows to watch. Most foreign tourists visiting Thailand have to paddle to see the Thai floating market.

Thailand is a country rich in water resources, which has given rise to numerous water markets, large and small. Wherever there is water, there will usually be a floating market, which shows the huge number of floating markets in Thailand.

In the heat of the country, the water markets are mainly in the morning, as the sun comes out and the water markets are dispersed.

The water markets are located mainly on the tributaries and offer a wide range of goods and tropical fruits.

Enjoy the southern scenery as you travel across the lake in a small boat.

The market is very busy and every morning after 6 am many farmers and traders from the suburbs arrive with a variety of tropical fruits and vegetables to trade. A large number of boats makes for a lively scene.

Thailand, formerly known as Siam, is a famous tourist country in South East Asia, bordered by Laos and Cambodia to the east, the Gulf of Siam and Malaysia to the south, and Myanmar and the Andaman Sea to the west. Known as the 'Land of Smiles', it has become one of the most popular destinations for tourists from around the world.
