Amphawa อัมพวา Floating Market (1)





















Amphawa Floating Market is an afternoon floating market by the canal near Wat Amphawan Chetiyaram. On Friday, Saturday and Sunday, during 12.00 p.m. – 8.00 p.m., the Amphawa Canal is occupied by vendors who pack their boats with food and drinks, such as fried sea mussel, noodles, coffee, O-liang (iced black coffee), sweets, etc. Visitors can enjoy a cosy atmosphere and music broadcast by the community members, explore the market, have food, and hire a boat to see fireflies at night.

At only 72 kilometres or less than an hour’s drive from Bangkok, Samut Songkhram is well accessed by Road 35. Leave Bangkok by using the Express Way that continues southwards to Dao Khanong and then exiting through Rama II Road that will emerge in Samut Sakhon as Highway 35 (aka Thonburi-Pakthor Road). At the 63 kilometer marker, look out for the hanging green sign that indicates the way to Samut Songkhram. Going to Amphawa, take Road 325 that runs past Mae Klong River and several attractions including Wat Bang Kaphom, Wat Chulamanee, Wat Amphawan and an orchid farm. Many of these spots are located near the river so it’s wise to stick to the two roads that run in parallel with the river.
