Authentic Thai Floating Market - Tha Kha Floating Market ตลาดน้ำท่าคา - Thailand 2022

If you’re looking for a less hectic floating market experience with an authentic local feel, Tha Kha Floating Market is a market to consider. Tha Kha Floating Market is located in Samut Songkhram province, about an hour's drive from Bangkok. It is one of the most relaxing and local floating markets you can visit.

Originally, the market was only open for 4 – 5 days, depending on the phase of the moon. Nowadays, it’s open on the weekends as well. Still to this day, the canal and market are used as a place for the locals to trade and sell local products, most of which are food. 

The main thing locals do to earn a living is agriculture, which has been passed down from generation to generation. They wake up very early in the morning to work and hide away from the sun during the day. With this it is best to go to Tha Kha Floating Market in the morning, because most vendors are closed by noon.

Tha Kha Floating Market (ตลาดน้ำท่าคา) is a relaxing local floating market. It is much different from the larger and more well known markets that are teeming with tourists. Here, you’ll find a good amount of vendors selling food from boats, along with a hige variety of fresh fruits and produce sold at stalls along the canalside or from boats.
