Local Legends & Stories

Pattaya Floating Market preserves the ancient tradition of Thailand's water-based commerce that dates back over 700 years to the Ayutthaya period when villages conducted trade via canals. The market honors the memory of local fishermen who traditionally sold their catch directly from boats along the Chon Buri waterways.

Hidden Gems
