Pattaya floating market is very good for window shopping. You can enjoy boat ride here. You can collect very good memories by visiting this place.

Large open place
Plenty of parking and toilets
Spend al least half to a full day here
Products are good but you can get better value elsewhere

Pattaya in general was absolutely one to give a miss. Sanctuary of Truth was interesting but had the cruise not stopped there (I think to pick people up who went on an overnight) we would not have gone there willingly. Men, who clearly could not find a partner in their home country (all Western caucasian), wandered around with ladies at least a decade too young for them, leering at other single women going by while simultaneously complimenting each other on their perceived conquests. They come to take advantage of these women who need to support their families and are forced to take up with these men who then offer them just enough to stay on their arm. I gather the promise of marriage and a way out of the area is always dangled in front of them. The whole place oozed with sadness, overlaid with a cheesy, macho aura that made us all desperate for a shower.

Floating market is cool...its out of the way, right back in jomtien, but it's a nice day out. We went at mid say...bit of a mad idea as it was burning hot outside. Next time well go in the evening. Some really nice crafts here if that's your thing, and some brilliant street food too.

When this place opens it was not good, but don't forget it is man made but last year I went and I was not dissapointed at all lots to see and do, but you need a full day to see everything.

I don’t know but for me the floating market itself feels a bit old, sad looking and not really captivating. Maybe it needs a little bit of update in the future. But as of the situation today, I fully understand that some of the stores are closed. But I still enjoyed myself visiting the place.

Nothing special here. The Corona Virus has had a major effect on this venue.
Most of the shops are empty or closed. Very run down and all of the goods and souvenirs can be found in any market & mall at a better price.

The market feels so authentic and there is a lot to buy and the boat ride experience is really nice.It's a little bit crowded and many shops are closed due to the pandemic restriction on tourism

This place is a total rip-off. They charge foreigners 200 Baht to enter but Thais enter for free.
Once inside it’s the usual tat for sale but grossly overpriced.
Definitely not worth visiting even if you can enter for free.

Took my German friends there and they tried to double charge us. 200 baht each at entry and were told another 200 baht for any activity inside. As I read and speak Thai I asked them in Thai “why do you double charge when Thai people go in for free”. No answer.......so needless to say we left and enjoyed other legitimate places. Avoid at all costs.

I did not rent scooter i had hired a van and its better to hire a van or car than take a personal scooter because there is a scam when u return the bike or scooter after use they raise issues with the you saying there is a dent etc so i request avoid such scams

Hi may I ask, is it worth it to go to the floating market? I read there were fee charged to go there? I thought it is an open place.
Besides floating market what else can we do there?
Roughly how much is the massage services there?
Gosh i will be there for 3 days hope it is worthwhile.

Foreigner entry fee is 200 baht.
Not really worth it. If you want to see a genuine market, there are dozens about. It's nothing more than a tourist trap selling tourist rubbish priced far above normal market prices. After all, it's little more than an open air mall.

How far is it from pataya city to the market

Hello Abu Salim,
Sorry for the late reply. I have been away from the computer too long :(
As Pattaya City is large - from any point a taxi drive would be between 20-30 minutes. It is true.
Traffic is busy and parking hard to find.
Hiring a paid-driver would offer you the most convenience and comfort, so you and your fellow traveling friends / family have no stress and do not need to navigate anything to get there safely.
Unlike where I live, Canada, Thai Driver's will pick you up AND drop you off when you are finished at any exhibit.
Furthermore, (and of most benefit to us) - they also wait for you and you do not need to find another driver to take you back to your hotel!
The price is not high and you have every confidence this way to know that you can go to and from activities and enjoy them without needing to plan routes or find alternate ways to get back home.
It is a wonderful system. Your hotel front desk can help you arrange a paid-driver to provide this service.
Please do not try to navigate the public transit system, unless you are very clear on your route and are fluent in the language.
I hope this helps!
Safe Travels!

Its bit far from the city. You will have to hire a taxi from the hotel which will take you to the floating market. It will be almost 30min ride. You should hire same taxi to go and come back otherwise you will not get any transportation from there.
If you will contact to some travel agent then he will book your tickets in advance and they will give you the coupons to show it at the entrance. But you can go by yourself also and book the ticket at the counter also. There not much difference in rates.
Cost it apx 300baht per person.

Only Entrance fee is 200 BHT/person , then they have lot of different plans like Entrance with boating or Buffet lunch. And they charge around 800 or 1000 bht / person.
You may visit it once and it depends person to person if they like it or not.
