What you'll see and do
Khlong Lat Mayom Floating Market
Khlong Lat Mayom is one of the three floating markets located close to Bangkok. Khlong Lat Mayom is nothing like the huge touristy Damnoen Saduak or the crowded Amphawa but really has the charm and authenticity of a local market and you might be one of the only foreigners around. Everybody love floating markets - Thai and tourists alike - you just have to see how locals flock to the place on weekends! Local market culture has deep roots in Thai daily life and eating out is not a special event as it is in western culture: it’s fun, cheap and casual, and Thai food has so many variations it can be a travelling theme on its own. Just like the two other markets around Bangkok, the definition of ’floating market’ is a bit stretched, the place being in fact more of a riverside market. The canal here is very narrow and only few boats are parked all alongside the riverbank and below a low bridge, cooking for customers who sit at low tables all along the water. Eating is always the highlight of a floating market visit, sitting on a little wooden stool not higher than 10 cm and ordering a dish cooked on a tiny wooden boat anchored just next to your table is such a fun and exotic experience! Don’t be shy and try some of the dishes you are not familiar with... if you don’t know what it is, just point at your neighbour’s plate: noodle soups, Pad Thai, Kanom Jeen (cold rice vermicellis) or Hoi Tod (oyster omelet) for 20 to 30 baht per plate. The drinks are usually sold by another person walking around.

Taling Chan Floating Market
Located just outside of Bangkok on the access road to Khlong Bangkok Noi, Taling Chan looks like any other fresh food market busy with produce vendors from nearby farms. But the twist emerges at the canal where several floating docks serve as informal dining rooms and the kitchens are boats tethered to the docks.

Great tour - felt like shopping with the locals
A great tour with private guide to two weekend markets, which felt very authentic and there were mostly locals using the markets so not very touristy. They are called floating markets, but the boats are only a small element of the market these days, there are mostly stalls, but still lovely to see. Also a longboat trip on the canals which was beautiful and interesting, and our guide Sunny was great. Quite an expensive tour, but you get what you pay for.

This was an awesome...
This was an awesome experience! It was really peaceful riding the boat. Our guide Nam was great and made sure we had a positive experience by sharing recommendations for food and sharing about the temple. It was really cool to visit a local market. The food was incredible!

Lovely trip with a great guide - excellent value for money
Excellent value for money. Comfortable minibank took us to the fist market, where we had a very enjoyable boat ride between different markets and an orchid farm. It was very interesting to experience and we got to try different local fruits and do some fun shopping in addition to experiencing the vibe of the markets- looked like we were the only locals there. Our guide Cartoon was excellent and very helpful making it a truly memorable day for both the teenagers adults and retirees in our family.

Authentic Bangkok Markets: Khlong Lat Mayom & Taling Chan Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bangkok.
How much does Authentic Bangkok Markets: Khlong Lat Mayom & Taling Chan Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $138 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Bangkok usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Authentic Bangkok Markets: Khlong Lat Mayom & Taling Chan Tour take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Bangkok is not rushed.
Is Authentic Bangkok Markets: Khlong Lat Mayom & Taling Chan Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Bangkok, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Authentic Bangkok Markets: Khlong Lat Mayom & Taling Chan Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Authentic Bangkok Markets: Khlong Lat Mayom & Taling Chan Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Authentic Bangkok Markets: Khlong Lat Mayom & Taling Chan Tour?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Bangkok can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Bangkok and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Authentic Bangkok Markets: Khlong Lat Mayom & Taling Chan Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Bangkok within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Bangkok?
+
On Outty we rank every Bangkok experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Bangkok Backstreets Food Tour with 15+ Tastings, Old Siam Bangkok Food Tour with 15+ Tastings, Tingly Thai Cooking Class with Morning Market Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Bangkok?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Bangkok?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Authentic Bangkok Markets: Khlong Lat Mayom & Taling Chan Tour?
+

Does Authentic Bangkok Markets: Khlong Lat Mayom & Taling Chan Tour include hotel pickup?
+

What languages is Authentic Bangkok Markets: Khlong Lat Mayom & Taling Chan Tour offered in?
+
