Nearly everyone comes for the Amphawa Floating Market, opened on weekends (F-Su) only. It gives an impression of the canalside way of live, where farmers in traditional clothing sell their produce. Unlike Damnoen Saduak, this is an afternoon market, so you can easily combine the two into a single trip. It starts to get going around noon, but is at its best around 15:00.
Chuchai Buri Sri Amphawa (500 m from the floating market). The name means "the city of Chuchai in the glory of Amphawa. It is a billion baht entertainment complex 500 m from the floating market that features an 18-room hotel, shopping centre, restaurant, and Hindu shine. The building is an outrageous mix of Thai traditional and neoclassical, reminiscent of high society during the late-19th and early-20th centuries. It was built by a wealthy Thai gemstone dealer and designer, Chuchai Chairitthilert, who was bewitched by Amphawa. The five storey building was opened in March 2016. (updated May 2016 | edit)
