Amphawa Floating Market is one of Thailand's floating markets, old and very popular with tourists. This floating market is also one of the main tourist attractions in Samut Songkhram. Because it is not far from Bangkok, every Friday, Saturday and Sunday the market will be crowded with tourists, especially locals, who come to enjoy canal views or taste some delicious food. All visitors can purchase fish, local Thai desserts, or souvenirs for friends and family. The boat trip allows you to admire the views and lifestyles along the Amphawa Canal and includes a stop at Wat Ban Kung, on the return stop to observe the fireflies on the cork trees in a fascinating night scene.

The building dates back to the Ayutthaya period. It is externally and internally quite simple.
