More Information about the Taling Chan Floating Market

Although there are many floating markets throughout Thailand, our first visit was to the Taling Chan Floating Market. It is a little further out of the usual tourist track, so it is sometimes overlooked by Bangkok’s visitors. Most tourists opt for the larger Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, but if you want to avoid the crowds, then the Taling Chan Floating Market is probably one of your better bets.
