Taling Chan Floating Market
What’s so charming about this floating market is the way they sell things which, unlike most places, is self sufficient. On the weekends, local people bring from their homes small portions of various home grown vegetables and fruits to sell to tourists. No wonder there is also an abundance of special traditional Thai foods and desserts awaiting you to try at Taling Chan Floating Market. Some housewives come here to sell freshly cooked meals which are apparently their signature family recipes.
