Five-Star Reviews

“A night market unlike any other, the stuff you see here are quite different to what you see in Bangkok night markets which is a fresh sight for me.”

“We enjoyed this floating market, because it's not so touristy and more quiet. You can still go with a long tail boat, get good food and see locals trade fruits and vegetables, but you can also walk around the area without hundreds of people going the same way.”

“Empty your belly and prepare a large empty bag before exploring this wonderful and huge market. What I mean to say is that this market is filled with varieties of mouth-watering cuisines and souvenir shops at reasonable prices.”
