The city of Bangkok is bordered by Nonthaburi in the north and Samut Prakan in the south. Even in Bangkok, where the transportation is the most convenient, the transportation to the various floating markets is not convenient. You usually have to take a bus or boat to get there.However, due to the low cost of taxis in Thailand, it is sometimes possible to take the MRT first and then call the taxi to go there.
