Pattaya Floating Market is kind of a tourist trap but the boat ride is fun

Okay so everyones gonna tell you to skip the floating market because its touristy and overpriced and theyre not wrong BUT if you go in with the right expectations its actually pretty enjoyable

Entry is 200 thb which is steep but the boat rides through the different sections are genuinely fun. 60 thb for 20 minutes and you get to see traditional thai houses and learn about the different regions food and culture

Yes the food is more expensive than street stalls (pad thai 80 thb vs 50 thb elsewhere) but the setting is unique and its a good rainy day activity. Just dont expect authentic local vibes
