One of Thailand’s three major floating markets, Khlong Lat Mayom Floating Market is a popular tourist attraction that is known as the ‘Venice of the East’. Visitors can get two very different experiences here, depending on when they go. During the weekend, the floating market bustles with crowds of tourists and visiting vendors selling everything on their floating shops, from fresh plants and produce to bouquets and souvenirs.
During the weekdays, the experience is much more relaxed and visitors can truly see the surrounding beauty of the river and the lush greenery that frames it. One of the unique aspects of a ride through Khlong Lat Mayom Floating Market is the array of freshly cooked foods you can find, including the delicious pla pao, a Thai-style salted and crusted grilled fish.
