Connected mostly by rivers and canals, Amphawa is best explored via a long-tail boat. Years ago, Amphawa tourism was all about taking a scenic boat ride to watch the fireflies at nightfall, an activity that requires an overnight stay. Now the floating market and shop-houses flanking Khlong Amphawa have taken over as the main attraction, and shopping has become Amphawa’s main activity. But if you prefer to witness the local lifestyle, try renting a bicycle and exploring the fruit and vegetable orchards surrounding the floating market.
