Description: |

The ThaKha Floating Market, or Talat Nam ThaKha, is a rendezvous
point for vendors on boats carrying local culinary curiosities,
vegetables and fruit, often homemade or home-grown. These
include chilis, shallots, garlic, coconut sugar, guavas, rose
apples and pomelos, which are just a few of the many uniquely
Thai tastes on offer. A boat service is available for visitors
who wish to explore the village and nearby fruit orchards as
well.
To get there, take Highway 325 (SamutSongkhram–Bang
Phae). At Km 32 (after passing a junction to WatKoKaeo), turn
right for another 5 kilometers. Alternatively, take a bus from
the market in town, which stops to collect passengers in front
of the TMB Bank. The ThaKha–WatThepPrasit bus is available from
7.00 am-6.00 pm and leaves every 20 minutes.
Vendors meet up on the
2nd, 7th, and 12th days of the lunar calendar’s waxing and
waning moon phases. The market also operates every weekend from
6.00 am-12.00 pm. For more information, contact the ThaKha
Sub-district Administration Organization at 0 3476 6208 or Uncle
Charun at 0 3476 6123. |
