Thailand Street Food Amphawa Floating Market - 길거리 음식
- 5 years ago
길거리 음식 - Amphawa is the second most popular floating market near Bangkok. Located 50 km from Bangkok, this once small village has apparently been around since the mid-17th century
Seafood prices are what you’d expect at floating markets: according to weight, but to give you an idea, 5 large prawns usually cost 300 baht. Customers perch on rows of narrow steps leading down to the water and food is brought directly from the boats onto really tiny tables.
If you don't feel like sitting on a concrete ledge very close to brownish waters, walk a bit further from the bridge to find restaurants with real tables and chairs. Even better, try to get a seat on the balcony of the restaurant next to the bridge – it's the only one around – but you might have to wait a bit or come early.
The best way to enjoy Amphawa is to come before 10am and leave soon after lunch.
Opening Hours: Friday–Sunday from 11am to 9.30pm (closed Monday–Thursday)
Location: Amphawa, Samut Songkhram 75110, Thailand
