Pattaya Floating Market

The Pattaya Floating Market is spread over 100,000 sq. m. The Four Regions Floating Market comprises of four units. Each section sells items from the major parts of Thailand, which are south, central, northeast, and north.
Here at the Pattaya Floating Market, you can find souvenir shops, eateries, fruit stalls, and even art galleries. Dishes worth mentioning are pad Thai, kanom jean (rice vermicelli), ka nom krok (coconut pancake), and foi thong (golden threads) among others.

Every afternoon, a cultural show is put up. In the cultural performances, you can catch a glimpse of kingdom’s four regions.
However, this isn’t it. A water boxing show is the place where fighters will entertain you with their prowess over a horizontal pole over the canal. Prepare to be blown away by real-life martial art demonstrations.
You can spot painters showing off their work. If you fancy new rides, then do hitch a ride on the Amphibian-boat rides. Another interesting thing to see is the agricultural rice field demonstration shown at the market.

When you reach the market, expect to be greeted by a collection of 100 shops and vendors selling you an array of Thai food, specialties, and desserts from around Thailand. A boat, large enough for four people can also be rented for around half an hour.
If you want even closer experience of how it feels moving around on the water, you can get one of the authentic houseboats for home stay.
