Pattaya Floating Market is located 2 km from our Village on the Sukhunvit Road in the direction of Rayong
(Not Bangkok!) Alternatively get a light blue or white baht bus on the Sukhumvit and pay 10 baht per person. If driving you can park at the front of the markets or at the rear. They made a lot of new attractions on the backside.

Pattaya Floating Market has been developed on the site of the Lake View Restaurant and it claims to the largest floating market in the Eastern Region. It covers an area of 100,000sqm.

The aim of the market is to capture the old way of Thai life. The constructions are made of teak. Items and food are available from the four regions of Thailand. The area is divided into four areas reflecting the represent four region of Thailand, namely North, Central, North Eastern and Southern. Many of the shops sell art and craft items.

Other than shopping and eating there are other activities. Boats are available for rent to get a slightly different view of the development. Don't forget to feed the baby elefant and for the kids it's a must to give some babt goats milk as if it were babies :)

The use of the words 'floating market' is a bitt taken out of his goal. Yes, there are boats from which you can buy food. However, most of the shopping is found on platforms constructed over the lake. But iI think it's a must to go there to taste the Thai Culture and to try drinks and tasty nibbits made on the "Upcountry Way"
