TARAT NUM AMPHAWA



This was formerly the most famous floating market in the Mae Klong River some 60 years ago. The simple charms of the area remain intact in the old shop houses on the waterfront, wooden structures with folding doors standing in a long row of almost 500 units, with walkways linking all of them, and bridges across the canal. One can observe the making of wooden umbrellas, sample and buy Chinese sweets and tidbits, including Chinese cakes and buns, and the freshly roasted and ground coffee beans.
