in"Guide to Bangkok Floating Market"Lists many of the floating market attractions around Bangkok, and many people will also arrange such attractions with a strong Thai style. The previously introduced "Dalinjiang Floating Market"It is already the closest to the urban area of Bangkok, a non-commercial, non-artificial floating market. The floating market that has only recently emerged can be said to be a place with commercial and sightseeing features. It is no longer purely from the local area. The floating market created by the lifestyle, and the moat floating market in Bangkok falls into this category.
Before I went to Bangkok on the Lunar New Year in 2015, I saw many news reports. The Bangkok City Government planned to promote the moat floating market in the Khlong Pratunk Kaseng Canal area from February. It is planned to be open every Saturday and Sunday. Include it in the itinerary immediately.
At the end of "Kim Thompson Tess Museum"After the itinerary, continue to take the "Khlong Sang Canal Express》When I went to the BMW wholesale market, Anya saw the wholesale clothing styles of the BMW market. It was really "classical". After a short stay, I walked out, and then, with excitement, went down the canal to the moat floating market.
To be honest, don't learn this. The walking distance is 1.2 kilometers, but it is a bit of a distance. The local transportation is not convenient. It is recommended to take a tuk-tuk or taxi directly.
◎ The itinerary experience of the moat floating market
The Moat Floating Market is promoted by the Bangkok City Government and has a strong official color. It is neither nurtured by local culture nor planned and operated by a commercial group. It is located at Orathai Bridge and Makabang Lanshan Bridge. (Makkhawan Rangsan Bridge) Between the two bridges, the total length is about 360 meters. There will be about 20 boats lined up along the canal to sell products. Tourists cannot take a boat tour, only on temporary floating piers. Walking around and shopping.
In fact, this is the old street that Taiwan’s county and city governments often promote~~
Because of the strong official color, the connotation and destiny of this floating market are of course very different!Since the Moat Floating Market was launched in February, various themed activities have been promoted almost every month. There will be activities every month in the second half of the year. You can refer to the website introduction. It is expected that the series of activities will end at the end of 2, that is, the government When the annual planning budget is spent~~ha!This is purely personal speculation.
Although the future of the Moat Floating Market is unclear, the Bangkok City Government is believed to have at least other actions to promote the development of the Khlong Pratun Kasaeng Canal area. If you have the opportunity, you can still pay attention to it a little and see what is there. Novel activities come out.
Next, take a look at the photos taken by Anya and make a record for this floating market!
▲ Ahead is the Maca Bang Lan Shan Bridge, the starting point of the floating market.
In fact, if the weather is not hot, walking along the canal is quite atmospheric.
▲ The entrance of the floating market is in the center of the entire area.
▲ A line-shaped floating market, along the road is a temporary wharf composed of blue floating balls.
▲ This moat floating market is actually quite like an agricultural product exhibition and garden party. ^^
▲ Directly greet the tuk-tuk on the return journey and return to the center of Siam!
