The Old Bang Phli Yai Floating Market - Food, Shopping & More - Samut Prakan Thailand 2024

The Old Bang Phli Floating Market is a great way to spend part of a day.

The Old Bang Phli Floating Market is situated on a wooden floor on Khlong Samrong in Tambon Bang Phli Yai and was formerly known as “Sirisophon” Market. It is assumed that Chinese traders firstly opened their shops here around 1857.

It is the only old market on Khlong Samrong that survived a fire and still maintained its original construction. A large community with a glorious past, it used to be a transportation hub for goods and passengers from the east coast to Bangkok.

Visitors arriving in Samut Prakan on the Bang Phli side should not miss 3 major activities and places of interest; gilding the heart of the Buddha image at Wat Bang Phli Yai Klang, paying respect to seek a blessing from the image of Luang Pho To at Wat Bang Phli Yai Nai, then, before returning home, spare another hour to shop for delicious food and desserts or souvenirs while also admiring the canalside lifestyle at the Old Bang Phli Floating Market behind the temple.

An added bonus of the market is to take a short canal boat tour for 20 Baht a person.
