Bang Namphueng Floating Market


Do you know Bang Namphueng Floating Market? Yes, I will tell you about there. Today, I go to Bang Namphueng Floating Market. There is a new floating market near Bangkok located at Tambon Bang Namphueng, Phra Pradaeng district in Samut Prakan province. There is open only on Saturday and Sunday around 08.00 a.m. to evening. The charm of this floating market is the canal side lifestyle of the community whose members are mostly Thai-Mon. The quaint canal side market with about a hundred stalls selling mainly food and OTOP products are available here.

Bang Namphueng Floating Market divided 3 parts as follows:

1. Products from villagers such as mixed seasonal fruits and vegetables are banana, coconut, rose apple, backyard garden and also a lot of thai dessert such as Tasty Leaf-wrapped Tidbits (Miang Kam).

2. Many of the products are homemade as part of the One Tambon One Product (OTOP) scheme such as handcrafts, clothes and home decoration.

3. The retailer selling product from boat such as noodle, som tam, chicken rice, thai fish cake (Tod Mun) and juices.

In addition, there are boats for rent. You can have a sight-seeing of traditional Thai houses by paddling the boat. If you have a holiday of 2 days and 1 night, you can stay overnight at one of the houses in the Bang Namphueng homestay programme for see Firefly Glow-wormLighteningbug too.

If you have a free time on Saturday or Sunday. I recommend there. I like there because there have many food and I like travel like this but today I go there around 1:30 p.m., there have a lot of people and very hot but I’m happy.
