Taling Chan Floating Market

A weekend floating market on the western fringe of Bangkok, this bazaar gathers boats moored along a canal beside a district office, where vendors grill fish and prawns over charcoal for diners seated on floating platforms. Stalls on land sell fruit, orchids, snacks and produce, while long-tail boat tours ply the surrounding waterways and orchards. Smaller and more locally frequented than the well-known tourist floating markets, it keeps an easy neighbourhood atmosphere. Its canal-side seafood grills draw Bangkok residents on weekend outings.
