Visit Bangkok's floating markets in French
The Floating Markets of Thailand in French:
Thailand’s floating markets are world-famous for their lively atmosphere and delicious cuisine. The floating market is a unique experience for visitors to Bangkok and an opportunity to discover local life and Thai traditions.
Floating markets have a long history in Thailand, dating back to Ayutthaya, Thailand’s capital between the 14th and 18th centuries. In those days, merchants sold their wares from boats that plied the rivers and canals, and this tradition has continued down the centuries.
Today, there are several floating markets throughout Thailand, but the most famous are located around Bangkok. The most popular floating markets include Damnoen Saduak, Amphawa and Khlong Lat Mayom.
Bangkok’s floating markets are a meeting place for locals and visitors alike, offering a unique opportunity to discover Thai culture and cuisine. Visitors can take a boat ride along the canals, admire the colorful floating stalls, and sample a wide variety of Thai dishes.
Stalls sell a wide variety of products, including fresh fruit, vegetables, ready-made meals and souvenirs. Visitors can also try many popular Thai dishes such as pad thai, khao soi and tom yum.
The floating markets also offer a unique opportunity to see traditional handicrafts such as pottery, wood carvings and handmade fabrics.
We recommend visiting the floating markets early in the morning, as this is when activity is highest and the freshest produce is available. It’s also advisable to negotiate prices with the vendors, as this is part of Thai tradition.
