A must-visit on the outskirts of Bangkok. Khlong Lat Mayom is a quaint floating market bursting with tradition and heritage. Mostly filled with Thai people, this haven is a brilliant opportunity to mingle with the locals and connect with their rich culture.
Highlights
- Splendid boat tours with panoramic views of the canal: Take a trip back in time, and whizz through the canals that overlook homes, businesses and gardens, just like locals travelled a long time ago. Feed your eyes with the lush greenery overflowing into the water. Get off the boat and wander through the many tiny villages along the canals.
- Serene, relaxing aura with heaps of drool-worthy local delicacies: A perfect spot for the ultimate foodie, you will be spoilt for choice with the abundance of Thai food at Khlong Lat Mayom. Enjoy a finger-licking-good skewer of gai galae (bbq grilled chicken) for only 25 baht. Feeling hungrier? Try the flavorsome mungbean noodles, or pla pao (popular salt-crusted fish). Buy some take-home snacks to remember the day - munch on the tasty khao lam (sticky rice with sugar and coconut) for a sweet finish.

TIP: Come early, and come hungry (You will be surrounded by delicious food all day)
