Bangkok Floating Market : Lampraya

Bangkok Floating Market : Preview Lampraya Floating Market
The Lampraya Floating Market is not actually in Bangkok, but because of its close proximity to Bangkok, just an hour away, it is counted as part of Bangkok attractions.
What is Lampraya Floating Market?
In the central part of Thailand, there are so many floating markets. Mostly floating markets will use the name of the area where they are located, Lampraya being one of them. Although Lampraya is not all that far away from Bangkok, it isn't well known and just a few people know that place. So there is no bus service operating to get there. This floating market lies in the temple area and operates only on Saturdays and Sundays. Depart for the Lampraya Floating Market in the morning. Experience the open air floating market first hand. Also gather a first hand experience of Thai cooking.
Bangkok Floating Market: What makes this place so special?
Many tourists do not like to go where tourists go, do they? Well, yes for some and no for others. If yes, Lampraya is the place for you. The floating market here was founded as a trading center, similar to the Damnean Saduak Floating Market. Farmers paddle boats to sell their products here, or come here by car. All the products look nice, fresh and colorful.
Highlight of the Trip
Food sampling is highly recommended. Ride on the roller boat to enjoy the river view and visit the old community.
