Pattaya Floating Market
📍 Start: Your Pattaya Hotel Lobby
🕗 Batches: Morning or Afternoon
🚙 Tour Type: Ticket Only or Private Tour
🛶 Highlight: Paddle Boat Ride
Pattaya Floating Market is established under the concept of presenting the cultures and traditions of the four regions of Thailand — Northern (Lanna), Southern, Central and Northeastern (Isaan). The concept covers how people from these four regions live, their main activities, and the main products from there, so the floating market could indicate how people in different areas live and what they earn from their ancient times. Pattaya Floating Market is the largest floating attraction in East Thailand.
Get the feel of a traditional Thai floating market, watching vendors wearing rice hats paddling slowly down the water — a large place with entertainment, shopping and dining. Take a walk around the market on the wooden walkways, or see the market from the water on a longtail boat or amphibious boat. Most of the market is under cover, except for the wooden bridges crossing the water.
Visit Pattaya Floating Market to get an idea of how Thai people in days gone by would do their grocery shopping — buying vegetables and fruits from vendors in small wooden boats. The largest authentic floating market is Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, about an hour and a half drive from Bangkok.
