Considered to be one of the most iconic floating markets in the world by knowledgeable travelers, the market stretches from the banks of the Amphawa canal into surrounding streets. Seafood is the main attraction, grilled precariously on small wooden boats from noon until late into the evening. Long tail boats explore the surrounding canals and rivers, and a visit to Wat Bang Koong – a complete temple entangled in the roots of an immense tree – must not be missed.
