Thailand - Pattaya 3 (Floating Market)
Photo Gallery of Pattaya in Thailand, part 3.
Pattaya is a beach resort, about 150 km southeast of Bangkok. You can enjoy beaches, shopping, and various entertainments.
This page shows Pattaya Floating Market, called Talad Nam Si Pak.
Speaking of floating markets, the two markets in Bangkok are very popular and famous: Damnoen, the morning market (in Ratchaburi, about 80 km from Bangkok) and Ampawa, the evening market (in Samut SongKhram, about 72 km from Bangkok).
The Pattaya Floating market is still new and opened in 2008. The site is very wide, about 100.000 square meter, and it has four parts of Thailand; central, north, north-east, south area.
As well as gift shops, you can enjoy various shops such as Thai massage and also Thai cultural shows such as Thai dance and Thai boxing.
(When I visited there, no show. Sign...)

You can see a lot of people including tourists go and come by
boat and sell and buy on the water in Damnoen, the morning market in Ratchaburi. However, this market is a little bit different. Of course, you can enjoy sightseeing on a boat but it looks like this is a place where you enjoy the floating market while walking around from its structure. |

Shops on the water A lot of shops are waiting for you on the water like in the picture above. Basically people go around by boat in the Damnoen Saduak Floating Market but here,you generally walk around and enjoy shops. Of course, you can enjoy going around by boat. |

Sellers on boats They sell various things such as noodles, desserts, fried chicken and sweets on boats. |
Shops on the water Not only on boats but they have restaurants on the water. Hmmm, looks yummy. :D |

Restaurant ? They are having lunch with small tables that you see in the north of Thailand like in Chiangmai. |
A lot of shops Like the pictures, a lot of shops there and very crowded. Various food, sweets, crafts and toys attract you. Even walking around is very fun. |
How about hats ? Well, it's very warm. I didn't see a lot of people wearing this type, though. :) |
