• Amphawa Floating Market

The canal-side town of Amphawa and its weekend floating market, 15 km south of Damnoen Saduak, offer a more local and traditional experience. The market operates along the Amphawa Canal running through the center of the old town, which preserves much of its traditional wooden shophouse architecture and charm.
The market’s focus is on fresh seafood cooked to order on boats moored beside the canal, including grilled river prawns, steamed shellfish, and fish prepared simply and served with rice on the canal bank. The surrounding town is pleasant to explore on foot, with temples, traditional sweet shops, and the Amphawa Cultural Center offering context on local history and canal-side life.
Take a firefly watching boat tour from Amphawa, in the evenings of Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, to experience a magical experience of a long-tail boat glide through the mangrove lined canals in darkness while thousands of fireflies illuminate the riverside trees in synchronized pulses of light.
