This is probably Thailand's most real-feeling floating market, but it's also the most difficult to reach. A handful of vendors coalesce along an open rural klorng (canal, also spelt khlong) lined with coconut palms and old wooden houses. Boat rides (per person 50B, 45 minutes) can be arranged along the canal, and there are lots of tasty snacks and fruits for sale. To get here, take a morning 蝉艔谤苍驳路迟膬补路辞耻 (passenger pick-up truck, 20B, 45 minutes) from Samut Songkhram鈥檚 market area.
