I had been to the floating market several years ago when it was a hive of activity, cultural divsity, color and rich smells. today I ripped off and wished that I had read the other comments before leaving. With very few tourists there was no vibe, very few vendors and the steps where empty dirty reminders of an attraction that... More

We went there because they offered it as a half day's trip at our hotel in Bangkok. They said it will take 1h 20min from the Hotel (Bangkok Cha-Da near the Swissotel) to get there but in fact it took 2h one way. So we wasted already 4h in the car that day.
