Aneesh Valiyattil
★★★★★3 months agoWhen visiting Thailand, the Pattaya Floating Market is definitely worth a visit. It’s a beautiful and vibrant place, perfect for exploring local culture and shopping for clothes, souvenirs, and handmade crafts. Be prepared to bargain, as prices are often quoted much higher for tourists. There are plenty of food options available, offering a wide variety of local flavors, but it’s best to choose carefully based on hygiene and freshness. Taking a small boat ride and strolling through the market in the evening creates a particularly pleasant and memorable experience. Do keep in mind that the market closes around 7 PM, so plan your visit accordingly to make the most of your time there.

★★★★★3 months agoA great place to visit while you are in Pattaya. One can easily spend half a day exploring the various shops, eateries and also the cultural performances. The boat rides are nice to give you a nice perspective. The food stalls were amazing with fresh food cooked right in front of you. The fish spa was a tickling experience. The photographer did an amazing job processing images by the time the boat tour was completed.
