Pattaya Floating Market
In Thailand, floating markets are famous because they offer unique cultural glimpse into traditional water-based commerce, providing an authentic, picturesque, and unique experience deeply rooted in Thai history and community life, attracting both locals and tourists for centuries.
Visiting Thailand, setting foot at the floating market is a must!
HOWEVER, Pattaya Floating Market, is not the same as the floating markets in Bangkok.
Here, buying and selling activities did not take place from the boat itself, but customers need to walk around at the market area which located right above the water. 😆
Thus, it is not like the traditional floating market I found in Bangkok.
(Fyi, I never been to Hatyai or Bandung Floating Market yet, so I can't compare).
Pattaya Floating Market: What to Shop
Visiting Thailand, setting foot at the floating market is a must!
Pattaya Floating Market offers wide rage of products: from food, clothes, art & crafts, as well as souvenirs.
I bought a few skirts here! Beautiful and super cheap!

Pattaya Floating Market: The View
The views of the Pattaya Floating Market is beautiful, aesthetic, instagrammable...

Pattaya Floating Market : Muslim Prayer Room Available
The best news is, surau/musolla is available at the floating market. A proper one, where, u can also take wuduk inside the surau itself.
Central Pattaya
Central Pattaya is Asia's largest natural beachfront shopping complex.
With lots of international brands as tenants, this mall is such a great place to shop!
We took our time to stroll inside the mall, and we bought some drinks, too!
