You can easily spend a couple of hours at this floating market. As well as shopping and eating, there are also regular shows during the day In the centre of the Ayothaya Floating Market is the most traditional section, where small meals are cooked on boats and served to customers sitting on decks next to them. These include boat parades as well as traditional dancing at various arenas around the market. We were there at the weekend and it was very crowded with coach tours and Thai tourists. If you want to escape the crowds then come during the week though the shows are not so regular. Parking is also a problem at the weekend.
