Amphawa Floating Market has recently seen a surge of visitors due to word-of-mouth. This influx of visitors has helped pushed business in the area and made it one of the most popular weekend destinations for residents of Bangkok and nearby provinces. The market stretches for 800 meters along both sides of the river. Visitors will agree that the fascinating thing about this market is the abundance of food available for you to eat. You won’t have to worry about getting hungry or thirsty while you walk and shop.
Most of the food sold in the area is seafood. The boat-vendors will prepare you your meal right before your eyes, and serve it hot in your hands. The seafood is very fresh, not to mention the shrimp that are caught from the river on a daily basis. Once you’ve had your main course, finish off your meal with a dessert. Amphawa has some of the best dessert shops around. After lunch, take a stroll and visit the shops in the old wooden houses. Amphawa offers many handmade products and works of art for sale including t-shirts, picture frames, postcards, key chains, old toys, decorative items, and home appliances. The market sells fresh fruits and cold beverages for you to refuel if you get thirsty or hungry (again).
