Appropiate Seasons
Dry season serves better, as rain can disrupt the travel and pose hazards. Although summer days are hot and humid, cool breeze can be always experienced on the waterfront. Also, summer is the high time for tropical fruits, including the sought-after lychee and mango. The Tha Kha Floating Markets is in operation every 2nd, 7th and 12th day of the waxing and waning moon. On weekend, goods are offered on the river bank at the car park area.
