The story of floating market

Tha Kha Floating Market

2010-12-15T06:41:00.000-08:00

The Tha Kha Floating Market probably appears more authentic because it is visited by fewer tourists than its famous neighbour (up to 5,000 foreign tourists visit Damnoen Saduak a day!). As a result it is less built up, has a more natural surrounding and avoids some of the more commercial aspects of Damnoen Saduak (souvenir shops, etc.). The Tha Kha Floating Market takes place only 6 days a month and in accordance with the Thai lunar calendar.

Details: Tha Kha Floating Market is located 10 kilometres beyond the more famous Damnoen Saduak Floating Market. The best time to visit is around 07:00 in the morning. The market opens only at weekends between 06:00 and 12:00.

How to get there: Again, given the distance involved, a taxi is recommended and the total fare is likely to be around the 500 Baht (plus) mark for a return journey.

Take a bus to Samut Songkhram from the Southern Bus Terminal. From Samut Songkhram take a minibus to the market.

Ko Kret

2010-05-06T23:18:00.000-07:00

Ko Kret (13°54′31″N 100°28′43″E / 13.90861°N 100.47861°E / 13.90861; 100.47861) is an island in the Chao Phraya river, to the north of Bangkok, Thailand, and belongs to Amphoe Pak Kret. The island is only reachable by boat, usually from the Wat Sanam Nau Pier[1]. There are also boat tours around the island.

Ko Kret is the most famous place in Pak Kret, and its most popular tourist target. On the island there are several temples (wat), such as Wat Poramai Yigawat, Wat Phailom, Wat Saotong Thong and Wat Chimphi, as well as the OTOP Village, which serves as a market for local products and souvenirs. Other attractions include the dessert shop (Ran Khun Aew), Kret Buddha Garden, and a small bar.

The most notable icon of the island is the leaning chedi or Chedi Mutao, a pagoda in Wat Poramai Yigawat located at the north-eastern tip of the island. Monam Lai Wichit, the most beautiful terracotta product of the island, is also the symbol of Nonthaburi province.

Many of the inhabitants are of Mon (also called Raman) origin, as is reflected in their architecture.

The island was created in 1722 when a navigation channel, Khlong Lat Kret, was dug to bypass a loop in the river, isolating a part of Pak Kret.

Chiang Mai Night and BazaarSuan Lum Night Bazaar

2010-04-24T20:57:00.000-07:00

Chiang Mai Night Bazaar or just Night Bazaar (Thai: ไนท์บาซาร์, Nai Basa) is located in the heart of the city, on the Chan Klan road, between Tha Pae and Sri Donchai roads. It is famous for its handicrafts and portrait paintings. There are also jewelry, toys, clothing and high tech items such as, CDs and DVDs. The market is one of the biggest tourist attractions in Chiang Mai.[1] At first, the market was owned by Chinese merchants, but since it grew in size as more commercial buildings were built, it was no longer owned by a single group of people. Instead, there are many owners, and most of them are Thai.

Suan Lum Night Bazaar
Suan Lum Night Bazaar is a market in Bangkok's Pathum Wan district, at the intersection of Rama IV and Wireless/Sathorn Roads, opposite Lumphini Park at the Bangkok Metro's Lumphini Station. Located on land owned by the Crown Property Bureau, it opened in 2001.

The Night Bazaar is open from 5pm to midnight, with some shops open until later. It has vendors selling gifts, clothing, jewellery, fruit, compact discs, hand-made products like tapestries and fine arts, such as paintings and sculptures. There is a large beer garden, with an array of food available, and live entertainment. On the other side of the market there is a quieter area with many restaurants offering both inside and outside garden seating.
Joe Louis Puppet Theatre

Bangkok Hall, a 6,000-capacity entertainment and special events hall, is located in the Night Bazaar. Until March 2007, it was called BEC-TERO Hall, and was primarily used by the media company to stage concerts. Also in the Night Bazaar is the Joe Louis Puppet Theatre, a traditional Thai puppet troupe that give performances of the Ramakien, Thailand's national epic.

The property was leased from the Crown Property Bureau by P Con Development until March 31, 2006. Tenants were given until April 2007 to vacate the premises, but as of April 2008, most vendors remained open, and it looks like business as usual. Plans are to develop the property into office buildings, retail areas, residential and entertainment complexes.

Chatuchak Market in Thailand

2010-04-14T03:02:00.000-07:00

Bangkok Chatuchak Market is a must. There's nothing like a live market in 35 hectares of land with over 15,000 distributed stall selling everything from Buddha statues of exotic animals and T-shirts.

Chatuchak Market is right next to Chatuchak Park, which is north of Bangkok. The market is open only on weekends, and you should make sure that you get is anticipated at 9.30 an hour and 10 clock, at the latest. You will find that by noon the marketteeming with people, and it will be crowded, some of the crowd. Make sure you have a keen eye on your wallet or purse until the end otherwise the market could lose pickpockets.

An easy way to get to the Chatuchak market is taking the Skytrain and you get off the last stop on the line Sukkhumvit, which is north. The stop is Mo Chit and it shows clearly how the state runs many of the Skytrain station. From the Skytrain station, the marketis 5 minutes walk. Alternatively, the subway and get off at Kampangphet.

Tha Kha Floating Market in Bangkok

2010-03-15T19:57:00.000-07:00

Don Wai Market

2010-03-10T01:33:00.000-08:00

Don Wai Market has been around for over a hundred years. However, it is only recently that it has started to become popular with daytrippers from Bangkok. From my own home, it only took 45 minutes which makes it almost a local source of good food. And I think that is why so many people go there at the weekend. The market was originally famous for the boiled ducks, but now there is a much greater variety of food. Not just curries and snacks, but also Thai sweets. Judging by all the pictures on display, a lot of celebrities and politicians also come to this market.

It is best to go to this market as early as you can in order to beat not only the heat but the crowds as well. It opens at 6 a.m. I arrived at 9 a.m. as I dropped in at Wat Rai Khing first to pay my respects to the highly revered Buddha image. They have a popular fair here in April. The temple is also famous for the fish sanctuary where you can buy bread to feed the fish. It is possible to catch a boat from here to Don Wai Market for only 60 baht. However, as I was early, it looked like they were waiting for enough people to make the journey worthwhile. As you can see from this picture, there weren't that many people at the market when I first arrived. However, when I left at midday it was so crowded with people it took forever to move through the crowds. By that time I couldn't wait to escape.

Tourists weren't going to the market just to buy food. They were going to eat at one of the many floating markets that lined the river. In fact, there are so many of these restaurants that as you walk along the market you don't get a clear view of the river. However, you do get fine views when you sit down to eat. Just don't go too late in the morning. Maybe best to come here for a brunch. I was tempted to buy a lot of food to take home. Unfortunately, I had more places to visit on that day and so didn't think it was a good idea to buy too much fresh food that might go off in a hot car.

To get to Don Wai Market is quite easy. I took the Outer Ring (Highway 9) from Samut Prakan. I then turned onto Highway 4 which is signposted Nakhon Pathom. Shortly after the Rose Garden you need to turn right onto Highway 3316. However, as you cannot do a direct turn here, you have to continue as far as the bridge over Nakhon Chaisi River and U-Turn under the bridge. Make sure you keep left for this. You will see a bigger sign for Wat Rai Khing rather than for the market. Keep going until you reach the market on the left. You cannot miss it nor the crowds. Make sure that you arrive early if you want to park a car. This costs 20 baht. There is more than one place to park. Just keep driving along the road.

Boat Trip on Nakhon Chaisi River

A good market near Bangkok is Don Wai in Nakhon Pathom Province. I was there recently to do a report for thai-blogs.com. It is a great food market if you enjoy Thai food. However, you can also join boat trips which makes it a more enjoyable experience. I thought I would only be an hour or two at the market before moving onto my next location. However, because of the boat trip I ended up staying all morning. As you know, I love boat trips and cruising down a river with natural air-conditioning is a fun way to spend the day.

There seems to be a number of different companies running boat trips at Don Wai. As you walk down the market it is easy to find them. Most organize two trips. The first lasts 75 minutes and costs 60 baht for adults and 30 baht for children. The second lasts 120 minutes and costs 100 baht for adults and 50 baht for children. The brochure is only written in Thai. However, they have basically the same route though obviously the second one goes further down the river. The first tour starts at 9.30 a.m. and continues at roughly one hourly intervals until late afternoon. The second tour starts at 10 a.m. on Sundays and 11 a.m. on Saturdays. This continues at roughly 90 minute intervals until mid afternoon. During weekdays there are only two rounds during the middle of the day for lunchtime crowds.

The boats are converted rice barges. Most have arrangements of tables and chairs. The boat didn't actually go anywhere as such which was a bit of a disappointment. Our destination was the Rose Garden, but all we did was go that far and come straight back. However, what the trip is really about is buying food in the market and then taking that on the boat trip with you. I didn't realize that but luckily a Thai family felt sorry for me and decided to feed me. People often do that. I don't know why. As long as you bring some food along, and maybe a few bottles of beer, then you will have an enjoyable and relaxing trip. Maybe snooze a little. The people at the table next to mine certainly slept the whole way.

Overall, I did spend a good morning at the market. I would advise that you go as early as you can as it does get crowded by mid morning. I would suggest exploring the market first then taking a late breakfast on one of the rice barges. The 70 minute tour is plenty enough as the seats were a bit uncomfortable for anything longer than that. You will probably end up staying here for about 3 hours. In my next blogs, I will give you ideas of where else to spend the rest of the day.

Klong Suan 100 Year Old Market

2010-02-28T20:51:00.000-08:00

PLACE: Klong Suan 100 Year Old Market
LOCATION: Tambon Khlong Suan, Amphoe Bang Bo
OPENING HOURS: Daily
ADMISSION: free

Klong Suan 100 Year Market dates back to the reign of King Rama V. The market contains many different shops, which are getting rare these days, since they are increasingly being replaced by modern convenience stores and shopping malls. More than 100 years old, it still retains the quaint charm of the old days. Visitors will be pleased with the traditional market atmosphere while enjoying a great variety of tasty food. In the past, the market was most conveniently accessible by boat. There was only one passenger boat service from Chachoengsao to Bangkok, serviced by Nai Loet (Mr. Loet). The boat picked up passengers at Chachoengsao, ran past Khlong Suan Market, and eventually arrived at Pratu Nam (Water Gate) in Bangkok.

The market is still an important community centre, transit point for commuters, and cargo port. The market is also a centre uniting the spirit of the Thai, Chinese and Muslim people who lived peacefully in the same area, as can be seen from the architecture of its temples and mosques, and a Chinese canteen offering free vegan food for people. In addition, its people always cooperated in developing the community’s infrastructure, for instance digging canals and building roads. Though they were of different religions, they have always enjoyed morning cafe get-togethers to share ideas, experiences, news and politics. The coffee shops have always been lively community meeting places.

Getting there:
By car – from Bangkok, take Motorway Expressway, and follow the signs for ‘100 Year Old Khlong Suan Market’, or take On Nut – Chachoengsao Road, drive past Latkrabang Institute of Technology, continue straight, and Khlong Suan Market will be on the left.

For further information, contact Tambon Thepparat Municipality, Amphoe Ban Pho, Chachoensao, tel. 0 3859 5633, 0 3859 5716, or Tambon Khlong Suan Municipality, Amphoe Bang Bo, Samut Prahan, tel. 0 2739 3253, 0 2739 3329, 0 2704 1273.

What do you buy in Suan Lum Night Bazaar?

2010-02-10T04:15:00.000-08:00

Suan Lum Night Bazaar is the ideal place for nocturnal shoppers, but as at any large market you have to do the leg work to be able to separate the junk from the gems. The fringes of the market are generally loaded with generic Thailand tokens such as counterfeit T-shirts, backpacking uniforms and bags, ethnic jewellery, trinkets, fairy lights and quirky homeware. Beachwear, flip-flops, trainers, miniature tuks-tuks made from the remnants of coca cola cans, tapestries, canvases adorned will saffron-clad Buddhist monks are all common.

Some of this stuff is pretty decent but if you think it isn’t the right price then attempt to barter it down. Once you enter the dense warren of shops, it’s almost an un-navigable bizarre and you’re best orientated by what stands on the outskirts eg a restaurant or pedestrian pathway.
Fashion

Suan Lum is a unique shopping experience in every sense of the word. This is true not only of the goods to be found, but the entire process of buying from an independent trader defies the whole super-brand culture we have become so accustomed to. What the market lacks in the way of air-conditioned changing rooms, and perfectly arranged window displays it more than makes up for in its creative layout and equally impressive attire that you won’t find elsewhere. This is also fertile ground for finding designer-inspired goods with their own unique twists, all at affordable prices.

Everyone – men, women, boys and girls are well catered for here. Many of the stalls adopt striking identities creating boutique like spaces for their clothes which range from quirky one of a kind pieces to indie-kid uniforms, rare vintage finds to some seriously, glam get-up . The Lopburi zone is like Siam Square’s edgier relative – with lots of fresh, young and up-and-coming designers that could well be hitting the catwalks in the future.
Furniture and Home Accessories

If you are interested in picking up some classic teakwood delights or pop-influenced furniture – worry not, you’re in the right place. At the back of the Night Bazaar you will find the Outlet Zone, which is dedicated to furniture and light fixtures. Keeping with the multi-coloured theme that plays throughout the central market, the Outlet Zone is home to bigger spaces displaying various types of furniture ranging from from bold contemporary to more subdued classics. A number of quirky light fixtures can also be found around here.

Art and Design

You can choose from a selection of contemporary and traditionally Thai-inspired canvases, postcards and small frames in Suan Lum. The market takes on the form as a commercial outlet for Bangkok’s creative set and comes highly recommended for those who enjoy buying art without spending astronomical amounts of money. Buddhist -inspired sculptures and teakwood furnishings are also commonly sought around Suan Lum. Usually most shops that sell weighty objects are happy to help arrange shipping back to your respective country.
CDs and DVDs

DVDs and CDs can easily be found at the Night Bazaar, but are not as common as you might expect. Speckled around the outskirts of the market are a handful of vendors selling the latest DVD releases in film and TV. You can also pick up Asian films and TV series. There is a CD store near the Khmer-style building that specializes in dance music, with some good international and homegrown mixes to be found here.

Jewelry

Suan Lum offers more than standard souvenir-style jewelry. You should expect to come across many of the accessories found and worn at backpacker destinations such as embroidered bracelets, chunky beads and turquoise stones. The market is also good for more classic knock offs such as the Tiffany Charm bracelets. When you venture in to the maze of stalls, you’re more likely to encounter sturdy silver pieces and rare stones. Men’s watches are rife, especially counterfeit Rolexes that pass off as the genuine article to the untrained eye.

Plans are to develop the property into office buildings, retail areas, residential and entertainment complexes

With a mixture of well-dressed, fresh-from-the-office Thais and expats alongside fisherman-pants-clad tourists, Suan Lum could best be described as the VIP outdoor market of Bangkok (where you're always welcome, of course).

Covered walkways with centrally-located snack bars provide perhaps the most up-to-the-minute (outdoor) market shopping experience in the city. Several bars along with Thai, Italian, German, and even Mexican restaurants are conveniently within the market area; close enough to take in the crowd while enjoying a drink, yet away from the market's hustle and bustle. In the same area, dinner shows featuring classical Thai puppetry can be enjoyed at the famous Joe Louis Puppet Theatre.

On the other side of the market's curious Khmer-looking temple walkway is a large outdoor beer garden, food court, and concert venue all rolled into one. Here one can indulge in an assortment of international and Thai beers and food, with international fare such as Japanese (yakitori and Asahi) or German (sausage, Paulaner, etc). The beer and food are accompanied by live Thai cover bands performing the latest local and international hits and, after a few drinks with friends, head out to one of Silom's many nightclubs.

Bang Namphueng Floating Market

2010-02-01T04:40:00.000-08:00

Bang Namphueng District is a green area where numerous plants are thriving. Birds and insects of several species are found and fresh air can be fully enjoyed here.

Pattaya Floating Market

2010-01-15T16:05:00.000-08:00

Pattaya Floating Market is a major tourist attraction, conserving Thai Culture, and covers an area of 62 Rai, almost 100.000 sqm . 10 years ago this was farm land, and home to many aquatic animals, the land was fertile with verdant florae which grew amongst the fields. It was, and still is the largest swamp within the Eastern Seaboard of Thailand.

In 2005 Lake View Restaurant opened providing both Thai and international delicacies; the restaurant was built in front of the Swamp. The CEO later had the wisdom to foresee the potential of the area, whilst giving thought to water conservation, much the same way as to the Royal thinking of His Majesty the King. The CEO has given much thought to the life project to demonstrate the beautiful and simplicity of the Thai way of life, and to present this fascinating culture of the East to the rest of the World

By car:
Pattaya can be reached in a 2.00-hour drive along Bangna-Trat Highway via Bang Pakong, Chon Buri and Si Racha. However, visitors can avoid Chon Buri by opting for Highway 36, the new route of Chon Buri - Pattaya - Rayong or motorway from Rama 9 Road.

The Damnoen Saduak Floating Market

2010-01-14T15:26:00.000-08:00

The Damnoen Saduak Floating Market is located at
Damnoen Saduak District, Ratchaburi Province, about
105 kms from Bangkok. According to history around
1866 King Rama IV ordered that a 32 kms long canal
be dug at Damnoen Saduak. This canal would connect
the Mae Klong River with the Tacheen River.

The excellent quality soil beside the canal is very fertile
and suitable for growing many kinds of fruits and vegetables.
The area is famous for Malacca grape, Chinese grapefruit,
mangoes, bananas, and coconut.

The Damnoen Saduak Floating Market is a very attractive
place for tourists to see the old style and traditional way
of selling and buying fruits, vegetables, etc., from small
boats. Tourists will also see traditional Thai houses, the
way they live and travel by boats, and please try riding
on a small boat to experience the floating market and to
see more. This is a worthwhile trip.

How To Get There :
Travel from Bangkok via Thonburi-Paktoh Highway to
Samut Songkhram Town. Follow the sign to Damnoen
Saduak (Highway No.325).

Experiencing the Floating Market
Most of the tourists go to this floating market with the
conducted tours, using large air-conditioned buses. Some
travel on mini-bus and van. Also, there are many people
from Bangkok and every where coming by private cars.
Tourists normally take a short trip by small boat. It is
once in a life time experience to come to Damnoen Saduak
Floating Market.
