Amphawa is a great place to go and stay overnight as the area is rich in local history with many temples and attractions.
Bangkok floating markets are a popular tourist attraction drawing many thousands of visitors each year and this lifestyle is unique to those communities that live on the water.
If you have never been to visit a floating market then it is one of those places that you have to visit at least once when you come to bangkok.
Not being so popular with Western tourists does give it more of an authentic feel, as you wander around through the the array of stalls and walkways of the Amphawa market and imagine a time gone by.
This floating market is held on Friday, Saturday and Sunday and vendors start setting up at around noon.
