Pattaya in Thailand is known for its beautiful beaches, nightlife, and friendly locals. But that’s not all there is to Pattaya. One of the most unique and exciting places to visit in Pattaya is undoubtedly the floating market. A floating market is a type of market where the vendors sell their goods from small boats. Today in this blog post, I am going to tell you all about my experience visiting the floating market in Pattaya.
The floating market in Pattaya is an ideal place to buy souvenirs and sample traditional Thai street food. The market is located just outside the city, on Sukhumvit Road, and is open every day from 9 am to 8 pm. So, to get to the floating market, you can take a taxi or hire a bike.
As you enter the market, you’ll be welcomed by the serenity of the place. The water surrounds the area, and there are wooden walkways and bridges that connect the vendors, and you can see locals paddling boats or sitting under umbrellas, which makes for an impressive sight.
The market is divided into four sections – North, South, East, and West, and you can explore each section at your leisure. The vendors’ boats are lined up beside the walkways. You’ll find everything from traditional handicrafts, clothes, and souvenirs to freshly cooked food.
At the floating market, a few other attractions are worth noting. One of these is the Thai cultural show, which occurs every hour from 11 am to 4 pm. The show showcases traditional Thai music and dance, and it’s an excellent way to learn about Thailand’s history and culture.
Conclusion:
Visiting the floating market in Pattaya is an exciting experience that shouldn’t be missed. From traditional handicrafts to delicious street food, you’ll find a range of unique things to see, do and try. And don’t forget to witness the Thai cultural show- it’s a real highlight of the market. I hope this blog post has inspired you to visit the floating market when you’re in Pattaya, and I’m sure you’re going to have a great time. Finally, just remember to bring your best negotiating skills or you might end up overpaying for some goodies!
