Thai Floating market at Amphawa ,samut songkhram




After check-in at Baan Amphawa Resort & Spa , our plan was go to the famous floating market for dinner and then go to see the Firefly (Glow-worm-Lightening bug) via a boat along Mae Klong River.

There were many interesting things around the floating market (Thai word call : Tarad Naam Yaam Yen) such as steamed fish with curry(Hor-Mok) ,traditional Thai dessert,Pat-Thai(a dish of stir-fried rice noodles with eggs, fish sauce,tamarind juice, red chilli pepper, plus combination of shrimp with crushed peanuts) etc...







Another beautiful handmade working was the coconut-shell lanterns.I thought it was very creative idea to do this handmade things.

When we finish shopping at the floating market , the sunset begun ,and that time the Fireflies will appear

Fireflies were appeared as a tiny bright spot in the same as the starlight,we could find the Fireflies around Cork Trees(Sonneratia caseolaris,Laam-poo) along the Mae Klong River.It was very difficult to took a photo of Fireflies, but I have a photo from the boat for you to see.



The Amphawa floating market located at samut songkhram, very close to Bangkok.I think it's one interesting place to visit in Thailand,if you have any holiday time.
