Floating Markets are an interesting and novel concept. They are markets and areas which operate on top of small boats on the canals which flow throughout the city. The settling down of the markets as a fixed Floating Market has garnered much attention from the population of the city, both the residents and tourists. While there are many different Floating Markets dotting the Thailand landscape, the one that sets up at the Tailing Chan, simply referred to as the Tailing Chan Floating Markets, is one of the best ones.
Floating Markets let the visitors enjoy and unwind in a truly unique setting. They are basically hawkers and stall owners trying to cater to you in a healthy competition, but the entire setting changed to be on top of small boats and the waterside just makes it that much more fun to be around. The markets themselves are not the biggest draw here, but the eateries and small stalls serving freshly prepared seafood are. They will cook in an open area, most probably right next to you so you can see your meal being prepared right in front of you. The Bangkok Floating Markets are a simple and relaxing visit meant to help you unwind after your big-time attractions, and nothing can beat the simple ecstasy of a hot beverage in hand with your feet dipped in cool water!
